“Wine Mums”: People Online Describe What They Consider To Be A Terrible Parent (30 Examples)

Exactly. There is a fine line between nudity and pornography

Florida

Conservatives keep getting more and more crazy. When I was a kid you often saw copies of National Geographic magazines with pictures of topless tribal African women in pediatricians' waiting rooms. No one screamed and called that "pornography." And with the internet, the chances are that every single kid in that class has already seen a full picture of that statue. It's a very common picture. And they have probably seen other pictures of art featuring nudity as well. I even occasionally see pictures of real topless women pop up on my Google feed, no parental permissions required, apparently. Unless these kids don't have any access to the internet, I guarantee they have seen stuff before.

Florida hardly represents the majority of the country, which is huge. It represents the culture of the South and the old Confederacy. Basically very conservative people who are behind the times and resent the majority of the country for various made-up grievances, both past and present. They STILL resent the rest of country because of a Civil War they started in the 1860's and lost very badly. The cultural craziness you see going on there is basically part of the "culture wars", where they go to extremes to oppose the majority culture.

Don't lump us all in with Florida!

People in Italy, and most of Europe in general do not treat nudity as a mortal sin. I remember when I was a kid and there was this czech carton on tv - "Krtek", And in the cartoon there was a naked man, laying on his back, full frontal nudity, no censorship. There was also one episode when mom bunny was giving birth to little bunny. Everything was shown :), Had this cartoon been aired in USA there would be a at least a revolution...

I think my mum's like this, but without the blacking out. She remembers everything. Is it normal to be called a lazy swine at least twice a day?

But is your mom right about your sister being lazy?

Same :|

That's a horrible thing to do and say. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

That's not healthy at all

Are you planning to go no contact with them once you have the ability to do so? Because I'm fairly certain they'll one day wonder why their kids aren't talking to them anymore...

horrible! when my son was a baby I took maybe 2 or 3 pics of him crying and put it in a collage of many many baby pics. displayed in our corridor at home every few months we look at the pictures with our now 4yo and I explain that babies sometimes cry and that this is okay as well. you don't have to be happy all the time. and no: we don't have many visitors outside of family, so no shaming my child in front of others.

That is horrible!! And not okay!! I have a 21 yr old and a 19 yr old and there is no way in hell I could record them crying much less tell them it makes me happy to see them cry!! That's sounds like masochistic behavior. How TF can anyone get pleasure out of seeing their child cry?? Jeezus, I just want to give you a hug and tell you everything will be okay.

Child abuse.

I have very few pictures of my youngest child because of he doesn't like pictures. I worry he won't have many pictures of himself to enjoy when he is older.

Child abuse. Awful.

My youngest son doesn't like pics of himself. He's always been this way. I limit what I show on social media because it makes him uncomfortable. He's a gorgeous kid, though. And yeah, I know I'm biased, but, to me, he has model-like looks. I have his prom pic with his older brother and their dates on my desk and I constantly get comments on how good looking they both are (oldest looks like my side of the family, but has blond hair and blue eyes and is 6'3" and my youngest looks like his dad, bronze type skin with deep green eyes and is 6'4"). And they're just great people in general. I'm so proud of the both of them. But, my youngest just doesn't like his pics, so I have to honor that. I do have a ton of shots of him when he isn't looking that I keep just for me. No one else gets to see them, but when he's older, I'll bring them out. He might want them if he ever decides to have children. He does like his pics from when he was a baby/toddler, though

Dreadful!

Religious big families can easily get out of hand, I know this because I come from one. The kids tend to be homeschooled, taught by parents and given biased curriculum telling them about how Adam and Eve rode on dinosaurs 6000 years ago. Church youth group is the only place where they can meet other kids. If the kid disagrees, it does not end well. And these people say public schools indoctrinate!

Parentification is different than just helping out, it's when older kids are taking care to the extent that they don't have a chance to be kids themselves, have free time and friends and activities outside the home

When I worked (to put food on the table) from 8am until noon, my two boys would mind their little sisters during school holidays. Now, nearly 20 years later, I'm horrified at the things they tell me they all got up to. They think it's hilariously.
