20 Unbelievable Instances of Bad Parenting

There’s no “best” way to be a parent, but there sure is a “worst” way to be one.

Redditor saw one of the worst ways when he was at the beer store, where a woman was buying two 24-ounce brews while her child ran around the store barefoot. When the cashier said, “There’s probably broken glass on the ground,” she replied by saying, “Well, that’ll teach him not to take his shoes off in the car.”

There’s a lot more bad parenting where that came from, and Redditors have the stories to prove it, including one parent who thinks two years old is the age to “grow up.”

A few minutes later, a woman comes up to us and asks Where is the little boy that was watching you play?. We reply that we don't know.

The kid looked so confused and was crying
