No , your 3 - year - quondam does not require a smartwatch .

It’s no secret that online parenting groups are completely and utterly out of control. Instead of providing parents with a positive online forum and community, these groups tend to morph into toxic echo chambers just oozing with misinformation, bad advice, and overallbrain rot. Here are 17 screenshots to prove it:

1.This parent who wants their 3-year-old to get a perm:

2.This person whose 30-something partner won’t stop wetting the bed and won’t take any accountability:

3.This parent who is considering lying about their child’s vaccination records so they can go to school:

4.This wildddd online overshare:

5.This parent who needs tips on a crayon detox:

6.This entitled rant from a mother-in-law who needs to stay in her lane:

7.This question that melted my brain:

8.This parent who wants to get their 3-year-old a smartwatch:

9.This parent who wants to prevent their kids from getting measles with herbal remedies or old food medicine hacks, but NOT the vaccine:

10.This parent who wants to give their 7-month-old beef liver for low iron rather than the prescribed iron pills from the doctor:

11.This parent who is rightfully disturbed by their toddler’s proximity to a gun:

12.This unsolicited advice to take a baby to a chiropractor:

13.This parent who is still breastfeeding their 5-year-old:

14.This commenter who suggests pee as an ear ache remedy:

15.This parent who wants to use THC to help make their baby sleep:

16.This parent who’s forgetting that seatbelts aren’t optional:

17.Finally, this odd piece of advice that reads a bit like a threat:
