funny parents

Every parent dreads the day when their kids ask how babies are made. The birds and the bees chat is one that parents try to put off as long as physically possible because no one wants to deal with the awkward questions their kids will inevitably follow it with. Their kids will mainly ask questions involving their own sex life, and no parent wants to discuss that with their children. However, some kids take it in their stride, whereas others don't take it so well. These parents show us just how bad it can go and confirms why it's one of the most dreaded of all parenting moments.

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. 

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...
