crazy things parents say

Everyone knows and can relate to the anxiety caused by sending a text to the wrong person. Whether it's to your boss, an ex-boyfriend, or sending a text about someone to that person by mistake, these slip-ups can cause a mini heart attack each time. But perhaps the worst is when you send a text to your parents containing some sort of sexually explicit message that was clearly meant for someone else. The stress that causes, is another level, and reading through these texts can give you a taste of just how bad some kids have put their foot in it. 

Kids can be little angels, but they can also be total sh*ts. Any parent can attest that sometimes kids misbehave to the point where they briefly consider disowning them, even though deep down, they adore them. But when your kid does something weird, creepy, or disturbing, the reasons for wanting to disown them can be on a whole new level. Whether it's making comments that suggest they lived a past life, seeing them sleepwalk into dangerous situations, or seeing a weirdly violent side to them, these parents recall the bizarre things their kids did that made them rethink the whole parenting thing.

Unfortunately, having kids doesn't necessarily make you a good parent. Plenty of people have kids who quite frankly shouldn't, and it's a wonder they managed to keep their kids alive. Thankfully, most parents tend to figure it out along the way and raise their kids into decent human beings, despite their shortcomings. Speaking of shortcomings, we know some parents have more than others, but some have a sh*t load, exhibiting some truly narcissistic and toxic behaviors. A Reddit thread where people can show just how insane the parents are is making a stir for all the wrong reasons, and it is full of examples of how bad some parents can get. If you thought your parents were terrible, take a look at these horrors and think again...

Parenting is one of the most demanding jobs out there, and parents deserve a fricking medal for everything they do. Unfortunately, no one hands out parenting prizes.

Growing up, every kid swears they'll never be anything like their parents. All the annoying things parents do or say, all the bad dad jokes they make, and all the rules they enforce are things their kid would rather die than do themselves. You name it; if your parent does it, you'll want to do it differently. Because kids always know best, right? But somehow, the inevitable happens, and as we get older, we notice the oddly familiar patterns in our behavior. And somehow, slowly but surely, we start turning into our parents. These Redditors shared the horrifying moments they realized they were becoming their parents and some of them hit home pretty hard. 

A big part of dating someone is getting to know their family. Because if you end up marrying them, they will inevitably become your family too. No one wants to take on a crazy family, especially if you already have one of your own, but what happens when your partner's family only shows their wild side once it's too late? It's hard to walk away from someone you love because of their family, but everyone has their limit. These Redditers shared their stories of breaking up with someone they loved because their family was nuts and some of them are wild!

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. The process of growing a new life inside of you and keeping it safe until it's ready to make an appearance in the world is nothing short of a miracle.

These tweets accurately sum up the joys of baby brain, not fitting into your clothes, and crying at the smallest of things.
