Zero interest in the kid. Doesn’t care what they do or what happens to them as long as they don’t inconvenience them.
Parents who can’t apologize to a child. It’s ok to have human emotions and moment to be triggered or struggling and lash out or be wrong but for the love of all things good APOLOGIZE AND CHANGE.
Letting their kid run wild in public while they scroll through their phone, completely oblivious.
Mothers who sees their daughter as competition.
Your adult children don’t talk to you and you “don’t know” why.
When their adult children have gone « No Contact ».
when they give their child a name, even a really traditional one, but spell it ridiculously.
Telling the kid to “Stop it” over and over but never enforcing it.
Smoking in the car with their kids present.
Those people who treat their kids as an extension of themselves and therefore they make their kids live up to their (the parent’s) dream.
When someone brings all their boyfriends and girlfriends around their kid.
The child is rude.
The child don’t respect their parents.
The child is constantly seeking attention.
it’s neglecting a child’s emotional needs, using harsh discipline methods, or consistently prioritizing personal desires over their well-being, these signs can raise concerns about a parent’s approach.
Treating their kid like a servant or a nuisance instead of a person
“I was treated like this, therefore I’ll treat my children the same”
Sticking their kid in front of an iPad/tablet then ignoring them for hours
Smoking in their child’s face
Smoking in the car when they have children.
Quick story, the trashiest thing I have ever seen. I’m dropping my son off at school and there is an Astro Van in front of me. The mother is smoking a cig. She flicks out the butt (on school property), when the van gets to the front about 5 kids come out of the car with a cloud of smoke like it’s a cheech and chong movie.
They smoke with the kids in the car
When they smoke while in close contact with their child.
Putting their own frivolous wants over the genuine needs of their child
Their child is swearing and knows crude language at a really early age. Now, of course helicopter parents who never let their kids swear or make dirtier jokes is a whole other ballgame. But when your five/six year old is making hickey jokes or saying ‘c*unt’, I can only infer you were a trashy parent who either talked like that around them, or gave them way too much access to the internet/tv.
Uses their kids as a prop in any drama they are involved in.
My neighbor calls her three year old daughter fat
Reading this and realizing i had a trashy parent.
Parents who use the “I’m going to die one day” line in order to guilt trip whenever their kid stands up for themselves.
Or the classic holding things over the child’s head like “I put a roof over your head” “I make sure you’re fed everyday” like yeah … you’re the parent that’s your literal job????
Kids got beat up shoes and dirty clothes, yet parents are wearing brand new designer clothes.
They don’t care that their kids are mean to other kids. “Boys will be boys” and “girls are always mean”
Small kids drinking soda.
Idk my ex laid this one on me “when he turns 18, he’s not my problem.”
But right now, while we’re dealing with custody for a 2 year old he is, unless money is involved, but you love him “more than the air I breathe” so I should waive child support, but you won’t even buy him a pair of shoes that fit, but go to the bar every Thursday night and buy a round for everyone in that bitch.

Parents who post every moment of their child’s life on social media.
