31 Assholes You Meet As A Parent

    Have a kid, and they come out of the woodwork.

    1. Anyone who says, “If you think it’s hard with one, wait until you have two!”

    2. The person who says “You’re going to let him get that?” when your son wants a flower painted on his face.

    3. Ditto to the person who says “Are you sure she wouldn’t prefer to be a princess?” when your daughter wants a Batman costume for Halloween.

    4. The jerk who says “Put it away!” when you breastfeed in public.

    5. But also the asshole who tells the bottle-feeding parent that “breastfed babies are smarter!”

    6. The passenger on a plane who yells “Shut that kid up!” when you’re trying like hell to stop them from crying.

    7. The lame-o who asks a dad “Are you sure you don’t want to call your wife and ask her?” before he makes a child-related decision.

    8. The parent who sends their kid to school with peanut butter even though there are kids with nut allergies in their kid’s class.

    9. The proud dispenser of unsolicited parenting advice.

    10. The old timer who says, “You know in my day we didn’t let our kids…”

    13. Also, anyone who says to a young parent, “Oy! Your poor parents!”

    14. The “health expert” who chides you for getting your kid a quesadilla or chicken fingers (and adds, “My kids love salad!”).

    15. The yahoos at the table next to you and your kid at a restaurant who drop endless F–bombs.

    16. That clueless dude who asks you when you’re due…a month after you gave birth.
