I’m sorry, but online parenting groups are out of control, and we need to talk about it. Instead of providing parents with a positive online forum and community, these groups tend to devolve into toxic echo chambers brimming with misinformation, bad advice, and brain rot.

This mom who wants other mom friends, but only if they’re upper-middle class:
2.
This absolutely shameless weirdo who proves you really can’t trust anyone:
3.
This person who spouted dangerous nonsense online:
4.
This overstepping grandparent who needs to be kept far away from this baby:
5.
This grossly judgmental parent who is going to give their child body images issues for life:
6.
This parent who harshly called their first child bad simply because they developed at a slower rate than their second child:

15.
This expecting parent who spoke to a doctor and needs medical care, but rather consult randos on Facebook:
16.
This person who seems more concerned with the aesthetic of their homebirth than making sure it’s safe:
17.
