15 Parents Who Gotta Check Themselves Before They Wreck Themselves

Conventional knowledge would dictate that our parents are supposed to be the shining stars guiding us through life, encouraging us with love and affection, and keeping us safe from harm. As cheesy at it may sound, our parents never really stop parenting us, even from afar, and even when we become parents ourselves. Although some of this is probably true for most of us, much of it is wildly misconceiving.

Parents are people, too. They are damaged and messed up like the rest of us. They make mistakes that have probably still affected us to this day. Their only saving grace is that the damage was (most likely) created unintentionally and (probably) out of love. 

1. Mom is always going to be the OG hottie. 

2. Straight disrespect. 

3. Pop was trying to mess you up before you even had a chance. 

4. That’s some hair not even a mama could love. 

If you’ve ever heard your mom say, “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed,” then you’ll appreciate #8.
