What sort of parents do you hate the most?

Question

Smokers? Ones that let their kids get overweight?

Ones that never disapline their kids! Or ones that are too strict with their kids ? I think for me seeing a baby with a mum smoking over the pram is one of the MOST dreadful sights ever!

Answer 1

The irresponsible ones and the ones who have "perfect" kids.

Answer 2

I really hate the parents that put their kids on a leash! Leashes are for animals, not for kids! And I hate it when the parents smoke, brag, or give in to there kids. I REALLY HATE IT WHEN THEY TEASE THEIR  CHILDREN! It's just cruel.

Answer 3

The ones with their heads in the ground and the "my little angel would never do anything like that" attitude.  It's those kids that get into the most mischief.

Answer 4

religious ones

ppl who make their kids fat

ppl who have kids they cant afford  

Answer 5

Actually, the ones that I loathe the most are the braggarts.  You know the type.... "MY little Susie could tap dance when she was 8 months old, and she invented the cure for the common cold at age 1, and at age 3 solved the mysteries of the universe."

errrggggggggggggggggggggggg

Answer 6

The smokers and the non discipliners, but mostly the smokers, don't they realize that they are poisoning their own children?!

Answer 7

Ones that never discipline their kids are the worst.  Smoking is disgusting, but not nearly as bad as letting the little brats think they run the world.

Answer 8

I saw a woman in a store with a little girl a bit older than my daughter and she was holding a toy in front of her face saying "wait for it, wait for it" and taking in out of her reach any time that the little one went to reach for it. I was blown away. What was she trying to do?

Answer 9

Actually all the ones you mentioned are bothersome, but the most irritating to me are the ones who are overprotective and 'fearful'.  You know the type.  Their child falls down and scrapes their knees and Mama runs to the rescue, "Oh, come here baby, did you fall down?"  Or he bumps his head and she's more worried about it than he is! Really though, I am glad that a mom cares and would do her best to take good care of her child.  If coddling him is her way of doing her best, then I can accept that...but it IS a little funny to watch.

Answer 10

The stupid ones that have no clue how to watch their kids. You know the ones.... they let their kids get into anything and everything and don't care. Those are usually the ones that end up sending their tweens to boot camp. Oh, and smoking around them is included in the stupidity.

Answer 11

Well I don't hate anyone.

I do think it's very wrong when parents smoke right over their children. It's deadly, and it's not as if it's something that can't be prevented by the parents themselves.

Parents that do not know how to properly discipline and show their children right from wrong is annoying.

It also bothers me when I see mothers and fathers walk their children on what appears to be a leash! You know, when you're in the mall or some where, and you see children walking around with those halter type things around them.

If parents cannot be bothered with keeping an eye on their kids, then just don't take them along.

I do not have children yet, for the fact that I am only 13.

I don't hate anyone, but I do dislike a lot of parenting techniques.

Thank you. I'm done with my lecture now. : )

Answer 12

I hate the ones that refuse to admit that their child does anything wrong. I was stuck on an airplane for 14 hours coming home from Greece in April, and the lady in front of me was horrible. Her son was 5 and autistic, but she let him to everything--scream at the top of his lungs, run up and down the aisles, hit people around him, kick, throw things, and swear up a storm! He came by and pulled my iPod headphones out of my ears and tried to punch me, and when I told him to knock it off and he didn't I spoke with his mother and told her that she has to control him and do something. She told me (and I quote) "What the f*** is your godd*mn problem? He's autistic! He's just expressing himself. Maybe if you wouldn't be so mean he wouldn't do that, and he just wanted to listen to your iPod!"

Answer 13

definately yhte ones who dont discipline their  kids. im a strong disciplinarian and i was raised in home with strong discipline and i dont go for kids who talk back to their parents.

Answer 14

Parents who hit their kids, call it a spanking and then ask tons of questions on yahoo about why their child hits their sister or why their child screams and cries when they are punished and why their child rebels so much. well...DUH

Answer 15

Ones who think they know it all, and everything they believe is the BEST and ONLY way.  It amounts to being close minded, and I just have no patience for that.

There is no such thing as a perfect parent, and those who act high and mighty and judge others really annoy me.  I guess it's easier to pick out the faults of other parents than to identify and rectify your own.

Answer 16

Ones that are too strict with their kids, Like the ones who spank there child when it hasn't even done any thing too bad! Spanking is awful any way and i would not ever do that to my child. Its disgusting.

SPANKING IS MEAN TO THE CHILD IT DOES NOT TEACH THE CHILD ANYTHING JUST MAKES THEM THINK IT IS OK TO SPANK PEOPLE!!!

Answer 17

The following

- Ones that medicate their kids for everything

- Ones that dont believe in spanking

- Ones that criticize you for what you do with your kids

- Ones that shove their beliefs down their kids throats

- Ones that engage in dangerous pass times (drugs, gun play, etc)

- Ones that make their kids fat (usually parents are fat as well)

- Ones that blame everyone else for their kids shortcomings (oh it was the teachers fault, oh gym class is making my fat kid embarrassed, so take gym out)

- Ones that treat their child as a direct reflection of themselves/live through their children because they are a failure or dont want to be looked down on because of their childrens appearance or actions.

- Ones who dont know where their kids are, and barely raise them

Answer 18

Smoking with a capital S! It is just sick!

Pregnant Mums smoking is awful too.

*Edit*

Lol, I love the THREE thumbs down (so far) for my not liking smoking. What planet are some people on?!?

Oh, and I use reins too (more thumbs down...) as I prefer having a child who is alive as to having one under the wheels of a truck after they trip into the road.

Answer 19

Parents that never discipline their kids and talk c**p about other kids being brats!

Answer 20

selfish parents who only care about themselves really bother me. in my opinion your kids should be first. and it blows me away to see parents who put themselves over their kids and dont do anything for thier own children but yet do everything for themselves.  

Answer 21

I don't hate anyone, but the 2 types of parents I can't stand are:

1) The ones who abuse and/or neglect their children, or allow it to happen

2) The ones who feel the need to tell you how you parent is wrong.

Other than those two things, I could not care less how people parent, or how they behave as parents.  

Answer 22

I don't tolerate parents who don't discipline their children, let their kids do whatever they want and let them get away with it and those who talk about other kids.

Answer 23

This is a tough question but really the ones that can't be bothered to be a parent and teach their kids. They always say yes or do things for them because it's more convenient and easier for them. They are very selfish and don't deserve the title of parent that is an honor.

edit: Being too strict is a bad thing but so is not being strict enough. All a parent can do is to try to do their best and do the hard work that is required. Just make an effort. Try to keep learning. It's hard work being a responsible parent. But so many just think it should be easy or just don't care enough. They don't think of what they are doing to their kids but they are fast to complain when kids act like spoiled rotten brats. That's what you created.

Answer 24

The ones that let their little hellions scream and throw fits in public, and don't do a thing to shut them up, or at least get them out of the building or away from everyone else.

Answer 25

Parents that never discipline their kids and expect you to just let them trash your house when visiting.

Parents that smoke when their pregnant. I have no problem with parents that smoke, as long as they take it outside.

Parents that shelter their kids so much that they are completely unprepared for the dirty world we live in.

Parents that take out their anger issues on their children.

Parents that don't know the difference between 'discipline' and 'punishment'.

Parents that slap a child in the face or yell at them, and think it's alright.

Parents that don't care about their children enough to buy them a decent carseat or healthy food, or help them with their schoolwork.

Parents that force their beliefs on their children instead of being open-minded to their child's curiosity of life and it's questions.

Parents that sell their baby's WIC formula to buy drugs. (I've actually seen this where I live- it's pathetic.)

Parents who force their children to live out their dreams and goals, because they were failures trying to live it out themselves.

And the ALL-TIME LOW:

Parents who make excuses for those who harm their children. (Yes, people like this exist.) Like those single moms who date or re-marry men who abuse their children. The boyfriend may hit the child, and all the mom will say is 'he didn't mean to do that'. It's pathetic and these women should be shot. Don't they care more about their kids then where they're getting laid? It's just sick.

If someone hit or abused my child, I'd be in jail for beating the living sh*t out of them.

Answer 26

I don't like parents who let their kids run the show. If the kid is kicking and screaming for a toy, take them out of the store!

Another thing that erks me is parents who BLOW smoke into their babies faces or into my kids faces!

I use a leach, when in a big crowd with my kids at night when I can't see them (4th of July party). I can't hold 4 hands and I don't want someone to take them.

Answer 27

i really hate the parents who dont believe in disaplining their kids.

Answer 28

yeah i dont like the smoking parents either, esp the ones in mini vans.

But i really hate parents that worry about what others think about their parenting skills.  The ones the give in to their children in the supermarket just to shut them up.

I just hate the ones the don't follow thru with discipline.  that drives me nuts!

**Granted i'm not a mom yet, so i don't know what it's like!**

Answer 29

Child abusers. I just don't understand how you can hurt a child. It doesn't make sense to hurt such a wonderful gift. I also hate it when mothers smoke in front of their kids or with their kids in the car. Just because the kids aren't inhaling it directly from the cigarette, they are still getting the second hand smoke, which is just as harmful. It makes me sad to think that parents are willing to please themselves even if it gives up the health of their children.

Answer 30

While I do not agree with smoking around a child, allowing them to eat all junk so that they end up with a weight issue I also see it as those parents love their kids even if they do different than I would.  being to strict upsets me as I feel you have to allow your child the chance to make a mistake so that they can grow and learn from it but the worst parents for me are the ones who just let their kids run and do as they please from the time they get up till they decide to come home.  We have an additional 4-6 kids a day at our house and I really feel sorry for them because their parents usually have no ideal where they are or what they are doing and don't care as long as they are being left alone.  To me that is not only sad but these people do not deserve to be parents.

Answer 31

The kind that elect to kill their children .

The kind that place money before time with their kids.

The kind that do drugs or are prostitutes or beat them daily.

Reins too...pick up the kid. If you can be insensed by a smoke, others can be insensed by reins and leashes.

If I hated smokers, I'd have to hate the parents who drive in traffic jams with their kids or live near airports.

No pro-choicer can be upset by a smoke logically.

If I hated the ones who let the kids get heavy, I'd be told they have gladular problems or they have no time to cook and I'm insensitive.
