18 Unhinged, Crunchy Parents Who Held Nothing Back When Posting Online

I’m sorry, but online parenting groups are out of control, and we need to talk about it. Instead of providing parents with a positive online forum and community, these groups tend to devolve into toxic echo chambers brimming with misinformation, bad advice, and brain rot. Here are 18 screenshots to prove it:

1.This mom who wants other mom friends, but only if they’re upper-middle class:

2.This absolutely shameless weirdo who proves you really can’t trust anyone:

3.This person who spouted dangerous nonsense online:

4.This overstepping grandparent who needs to be kept far away from this baby:

5.This grossly judgmental parent who is going to give their child body images issues for life:

6.This parent who harshly called their first child bad simply because they developed at a slower rate than their second child:

7.This parent who is feverishly obsessed with pushing essential oils on their 16-year-old son:

8.This parent who thinks scaring the hell out of their 4-year-old is an acceptable technique:

9.This commenter who must suffer from serious brain rot because they think it’s suitable to use a child’s pain as an opportunity for a parent to grow:

10.This parent who really, really wants to get their 10-week-old baby’s ears pierced:

11.This parent who really doesn’t see how leaving their children alone in a car for half an hour is dangerous:

12.This poster who wants to skip an important doctor’s appointment for their baby, and a commenter who thinks asking ChatGPT is as good as receiving medical care:

13.This anti-vax parent who wants to protect their kids from whooping cough…but not enough to vaccinate them:

14.This stepmother who was upset that their stepchild was sick and “ruined” their Mother’s Day:

15.This expecting parent who spoke to a doctor and needs medical care, but rather consult randos on Facebook:

16.This person who seems more concerned with the aesthetic of their homebirth than making sure it’s safe:

17.This parent who wants specialized care for their child who keeps getting kicked out of daycare, but refuses to pay fairly for such care:

18.And finally, this parent who is drinking all sorts of internet Kool-Aid:
