Parents are capable of wildly entertaining savagery. For some of us, they've known us our whole lives, and in that case; it is a very easy thing to roast call someone out. You know all their silly quirks, enthusiasms, tics, and habits.

As you get older, it becomes more and more clear that your parents didn't really know what they were doing. Some lies were rooted in real concerns our parents had for us. Some were just hearsay. And in some cases, they were just trying to make fun of us. Thank God we have Google to undo what our parents did to us. Anyway if these made you have flashbacks, here's some more lies parents told their kids.
This rageful parent's emotional post about their daughter getting measles is as relevant a reminder to anti-vaxxers today, as it was, when it was posted back in 2015. The news is riddled with accounts of a measles outbreak, and the anti-vaxxers are being called out with renewed passion for their part in the upsurge of cases. Maybe this post will make a splash in the social media space, and inspire further discussion about the impacts of vaccination, or NOT vaccinating your children.
If you grew up believing that sniffling would kill your brain cells, or crossing your eyes ran the risk of them remaining like that; then, you might benefit from this list. Parents are capable of filling our childish, unknowing minds with all manners of misguided, outright dishonest tidbits of "knowledge." If we're lucky, we grow up, and discover the truth for ourselves through that good 'ol life experience.
Sometimes a well-timed inappropriate thing said at a funeral can actually improve the mood and make the experience more meaningful. Other times it's family members almost coming to blows over who gets their grandpa's estate. Pretty wide swing of the pendulum, for sure. For crazy wedding stories, check this out.
These dads are just being the daddest dads ever. It's all jokes by dads and jokes about dads. So many jokes. So many dads. Just about the father-est stuff you ever saw. It's all lawn mowing and complaining about your kids. If you want to see some pure pun-tastic dad jokes then you can find some here.
These people got some seriously unwanted attention from their parents at all the wrong times. Spilling secrets, putting them in awkward social situations, you name it. As you get older, your parents will never see you as an adult. You will always be a baby. And that's assuming they like you. Here are some more parents who embarrassed the hell out of their kids.

In the 1967 film "Creative Person, Fred Rogers:", Fred Rogers talks about how he believes adults can impact a child's sense of worth, and ability to be themselves, amidst having it defined, before they can as individuals. This one might strike some chords!
No parent wants to see the day when their kid does something stupid, gets hurt, and then does that exact same thing again. It happens more than you'd think. From running around with buckets on their heads to getting stuck in trees, here are some all-stars.
The real challenge is not letting the kid know they're being funny. Kids can't know that yelling obscenities in a crowded bookstore is hilarious. It'd totally throw off their priorities.
