People actually do this?!

I often read this blog and really can't believe that there are people who do things like the following. I mean, obviously there are people like that, otherwise the blog wouldn't exist. But really:

• post pictures of their kids on the toilet on Facebook

• post pictures of their kids' poop.

• take Amazingly Embarrassing Parents to a whole new level, as shown by this post.

Why do people do this? Is it some part of them that makes them think putting stuff like that on the Internet will be appreciated?

As someone once said, "There can't be geniuses without idiots". Not to be offensive, but the latter seems to be dominating more...

I don't know what goes through those peoples' heads, but it must be crazy as heck...

Well, when your society starts to celebrate ignorance (just generally; I know we're all here to laugh at them rather than with them) you know you're in deep, deep trouble.

Why would someone announce their daughters first period? That is nothing to share with a bunch of strangers.

Nobody believes in tact anymore.

@Miss Kitten: I don't know. If my mother did that to me, I would be mortified.

I'm more horrified by the parent who put his/her(?) baby in the refrigerator.

It's a woman.

Love that blog, been following (and occasionally commenting) for a couple of years now. At least the Mom's Gold Star section has some stuff to restore faith in humanity.

But yeah, reading this site makes me grateful as hell that my mom is a ridiculously private person and likewise respects her kids' privacy. My dad, not so much, and I am doubly grateful that Facebook did not exist in the 80s!

The woman who runs the site is also just super fucking cool and funny:)

The mom shaving the daughter's head is getting too much flak.

I just rolled my eyes when I saw that post. The girl's like two years old and she mangled her hair. The only way to save it was to cut it short.

But shaving it is a little excessive IMO.

the me generation should be restricted from reproducing tbh

No, cutting the botched hair-cut was the way to go. Taking a picture and putting it on Facebook wasn't.

...Why, why did I have to go check if Rate My Poo still existed?! WHY?!

The internet. A place of endless wonder and Face Desk.

Agreed

Mostly Face Desk.

Although that is fascinating in its own right.

Where's my "jumping out of a window" GIF...

Oh, here it is.◊

This one is also appropriate.◊

Or even...◊ WHOOPS WRONG GIF

Nah, the last GIF is still relevant.

It's just the effects of spending too much time in the company of these parents.

Just... wat. I already feel psychologically disconnected from most parents on account of they really want kids and I don't so much, but what on Earth would possess someone to not only take pictures of their kids' poop, but post them on the Internet? Do other parents, like, grade the poop? "Impressive for his age, but he could do better. Colour also leaves something to be desired. 6 out of 10."

Indeed, it's... strange.

I don't really get the mentality at all. My parents wouldn't do that shit, so I find it hard to even begin to understand how people think this is okay to do.

@Alma, about parents grading children's poop: You do realize that the site I talked about earlier, Rate My Poo, does just that?

But at least that's like, a joke, right? And not serious business as these parents appear to be? D:

...I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE.

Although the very fact the website has been up and active for AT LEAST five years should answer your question...

Sorry, guys, but I can't do this anymore.
