40 Parents Who Should Stop Being Cringey To Save Us All The Embarrassment

I think we all need to learn some valuable lessons here because this post is full of cringe and boss-level comebacks.

It's true that, as children, we did everything we possibly could to embarrass our parents. However, we did that unknowingly.

I'd like to emphasize the word "unknowingly" because we were kids, and we didn't know any better. But parents... what's your excuse?

The level of cringe you're going to see when you scroll is going to make you feel bad for their kids, honestly. Knowing the amount of cringe our parents can display, sometimes we fail to redeem ourselves.

For example, on a nice evening, we were having shawarma from a Lebanese restaurant, and my mom video-called the rest of the family to show off the new dining table. She should have just dropped the call after showing it to them, but she wasn't done.

She wanted to 'coolify' the atmosphere, so she said something we can never 'un-hear'.

"The best shawarma, guys! Recording this for YouTube too, so be nice. Lesbians make the best shawarma."

No, they probably don't. Lebanese do.

But we were all too flushed to bother with comebacks. Do you see what my dear mom did there?

I was trolled for God knows how long for my mom's fail moment. Cue the eye roll.

Turns out, my mom's not the only one trolling her kids; there are other parents who troll too. What you're about to see are 40 cringey parents who should stop trolling their kids and others... for the love of God.

Although some parents weren't using social media, like the decal-collecting mom, for instance, it wouldn't take them long to get there. While there's nothing wrong with being yourself, for the love of God, get your act together, parents!

While some parents in this post were cringey, others were downright terrifying, like the one who wanted her 5-year-old to get a tattoo.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the post. You'll be doing me a solid if you share it with others!

Later, y'all.
