10 Moms Who Are Making Terrible Parenting Choices, And 10 Moms Who Were Literally Born To Be Mothers

Some of these are inexcusable.

Warning: This post mentions suicide.

1. This mom put a tracking app on their kid's phone and STILL didn't trust them:

Getting tracked at 20 by my antivaxx conspiracy theory mom 😂 Finally convinced her to delete the tracking app though from insaneparents

2. This mom put up sweet affirmations in the middle of the night as a surprise:

After a suicide attempt, having the love of my life dump me, and failing my classes, my mom put these affirmations up while I was sleeping. Love you mom from MadeMeSmile

3. This mom, on the other hand, refused to accept her own kid for who they are:

For anyone who doesn’t think my mom is insane, this was last year (between my mom and brother)when my brother outed me to her from insaneparents

4. This mom responded to their child coming out in the most wholesome and loving way possible:

I finally came out to my mom as trans a few days ago and then started getting these notes in my lunch bag every day :) from MadeMeSmile

5. This mom THREW AWAY THEIR KID'S CLOTHES instead of simply taking them out of the dryer:

Was trying to sleep last night, mom decided to wreck those plans. Couldn’t find my clothes when I woke up this morning. from insaneparents

6. This mom channeled her inner artist to give her pride and joy something special for their 21st birthday:

Please don't make fun of this. I asked my mom to make me a bulbasaur cake for my 21st birthday, and this is the result. She doesn't do any kind of art and im really happy with it from MadeMeSmile

7. This mom tried to control her children with manipulation and emotional abuse:

My mom has been ordering me around to do hella tedious tasks via text, in person, and phone call. When I declined one task, she gets passive aggressive and “punishes me”. She went as far as sending my dog I had for 11 years to the shelter after I didn’t want to share my grades with her. from insaneparents

8. This mom snuck a little treat AND spent the day on grandma duty:

My mom snuck a baggie of homemade cookies into my purse this morning when I dropped my son off at her house before work. Mom's gonna Mom. from MadeMeSmile

9. This mom threw a hissy fit because her grandchild was hanging out with the other grandparents:

My Moms reaction to seeing pictures of my son with his other grandparents on Facebook. Btw her husband just got out of jail for beating her, my bad for not letting a one year old over. from insaneparents

10. This mom knew exactly what to say when her baby was struggling:

Texted my Mom that I was feeling more depressed than usual. I love her so much from MadeMeSmile

11. This mom didn't want to hospitalize her sick child because of "COVID politics":

‘Crunchy’, anti-vaxx mom doesn’t want to hospitalise child with meningitis over ‘Covid politics’ from insaneparents

12. This mom didn't let COVID stop them from spreading holiday cheer and performing mom duties:

I have Covid and couldn’t visit my family for Christmas. My mom insisted on stopping by and dropping off some home made soup. from MadeMeSmile

13. This mom did something so wrong, I'm actually speechless:

Got a call in the middle of work from my dad, who passed away a few months ago. Sent this to the family group chat, fully knowing it was my mom who called. from insaneparents

14. This mom supported and celebrated their child's sobriety every step of the way:

Today is 3 years sober (alcohol) so I thought I’d share the sobriety coins my mom has been making me. from MadeMeSmile

15. This mom tried to subject her child to free labor in order to "teach" her something:

Was told to post this here. Mom offering her kid up for free labor. Thankfully the poster had a little more common sense! from insaneparents

16. This mom busted out the craft supplies to make the cutest graduation trinkets known to man:

This is what my mom did for me due to my graduation from MadeMeSmile

17. This mom demanded money from their own kid's paycheck and even resorted to threats when they refused:

18. This mom drew a cute lil' pick-me-up to help with the pain:

I've been depressed for weeks due to the severe restrictions and pain healing from a bad ankle fracture. My mom noticed and drew a happy little frog on my cast to cheer me up. I'm 33 years old, but grinning like a happy kid again now when I look down. from MadeMeSmile

19. This mom tried to forbid her child from seeing the rest of the family because they made the (wise) decision to get vaccinated:

Mind you I work at a homeless shelter so getting vaccinated is extremely important. I’ve been temporarily renting from my mom following a rough patch and this is motivation to get out of there even faster. from insaneparents

20. And finally, this mom sent their baby a little taste of home to help them recover:

My Korean mom sent me a covid health package after testing positive.... Seaweed, hot teas, masks and kimchi. Thanks mom!!! from MadeMeSmile
