Here Are 18 Parents That Will Make You Fear For The Future. Seriously, What is #14 Thinking?

From time to time, we all make mistakes. After all, we are human. But, these parents took the “eh, don’t worry about it” idea to the next level… and it’s pretty awful. These parenting fails are so ridiculous, I’m not sure how they even happened. What were these people thinking?

Dangling your kids over fences or ignoring them should never seem like a GOOD idea…

1.) Just wait, little guy, I almost have a high score!

2.) Hamster, babies… same thing.

3.) At least he seems to love watermelon!

4.) I think the answer is “NO.”

5.) He doesn’t like processed junk? WEIRD.

6.) I really, really hope this dad doesn’t fall.

7.) And he was SO close to getting that ball.

8.) Now this is an unforgettable family photo.

 

9.) That’s not how strollers work, dad.

10.) She’ll be pole dancing before she crawls.

11.) I hope you didn’t want birthday cake, kid.

12.) Rule number one!

13.) Just a family, out for an adorable stroll.

14.) Oh no…

15.) Little known facts: cats can be great babysitters.

16.) I wonder who the bigger Star Wars fan is…

17.) Oh no, that’s not frightening at all!

18.) Being a neat freak isn’t always a good thing.

All I can say is this: YIKES. This makes me worry about the future, but hopefully those kids will grow up and remember what their parents did. Learning by your parent’s example can work, even if you’re figuring out what not to do.

Let's counter our worry for the future with these Ingenious Parenting instead!

 

 

This Is Why Women Outlive Men. (HINT: Men Are Awesomely Insane And Reckless

It’s a statistical fact that on average women tend to live longer than men, and while scientists have numerous reasons for why that is, I think there is a far simpler explanation for that.

 

A Legendary Comedian George Carlin said it best; “Here’s all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.”

These 10 Innocent Gestures In The Wrong Place Could Get Yourself Punched In The Nose.

Traveling to other countries are fun, It's a good idea to be aware of different cultures and their customs, currency and basic etiquette You should also be cognizant of just how easy it is to insult others with seemingly innocent gestures. A thumbs up or a high five may not mean the same thing it does in your country.

 

Use this list as a guide of gestures you do NOT want to do while traveling abroad. It might seem strange to you now, but insulting your foreign friends or hosts could be as easy as biting your thumb (even if it’s a nervous habit).
If you’re traveling soon, you might want to memorize some of these so you can avoid getting kicked out of restaurants.

1.) The Chin Flick (Belgium, France, Northern Italy, Tunisia): This means “get lost” (in more aggressive language). To perform this, you brush the hand under the chin in a forward flicking motion. It’s an insulting brush off people typically use in arguments.

2.) Idiota (Brazil): This basically means “Are you an idiot?” You put a fist to your forehead while having a comical overbite. It takes a little artistic flair and skill to pull off correctly, but it could result in some laughs if you’re in good company.

Telegraph.co.uk

3.) Moutza (Greece, Africa, Pakistan): This is an aggressive, complicated gesture that means “to hell with you.” It is basically pantomiming rubbing dirt or other digusting substances in the face of your enemy.

Telegraph.co.uk

4.) Five Fathers (Arab countries, Caribbean): This insult implies that you have a disgusting family upbringing. This is a particularly insulting gesture in Saudi Arabia. If you’re washing your hands (or are an antsy person) be careful of this gesture.

Telegraph.co.uk

5.) Pepper Mill (Southern Italy): The pepper mill insinuates that a pesron is crazy. If you’re asking for more pepper at a restaurant, be careful!

Telegraph.co.uk

6.) Corna (The Baltics, Brazil, Colombia, Italy, Portugal, Spain): This gesture means that your wife is unfaithful, a deep insult to a man. It’s VERY close to the American sign for “love” or even “rock on.” This gesture’s meaning varies greatly from country to country, so you might want to avoid it altogether when traveling.

Telegraph.co.uk

7.) Write-Off (Greece): This means that you are ignoring the person you are talking to. It’s a pretty simple gesture, so it’s easy to accidentally do doing conversation.

Telegraph.co.uk

8.) Cutis (India, Pakistan): This gesture means “I don’t care for you or your whole family,” basically. You could insult your foreign host’s entire family with this little movement. You could even be thrown out on the street.

 

Telegraph.co.uk

9.) Tacaño (Mexico, South America): By banging your elbow on a table at dinner, you could insinuate that your companion is stingy. If you have a habit of putting your elbows on the table while you eat, you might want to avoid doing so while traveling.

Telegraph.co.uk

10.) Fishy Smell (Southern Italy): This insult is one we could understand, as it means the phrase “this smells fishy,” or “something’s fishy.” That means you find someone or something untrustworthy, or that you’re not going to let someone take advantage of you.

Telegraph.co.uk

Some of the gestures we have in the United States are used in different countries, but they mean something entirely different. It’s amazing that, all over the world, people heave created languages with so many similarities. (You just might want to avoid trying out those same gestures until you know exactly what they mean.)

There was a time in the history where women aren't treated as equals. We have witnessed various atrocities committed. However, some people might not realize the slow, insulting battle that women have been fighting over the decades against their male counterparts.

There was a time when sexism was so rampant, ads like the ones seen below were considered completely normal…

1.) Bless your heart, honey, because this is completely condescending.

2.) Your morning breath scares off men and will ensure you will die alone, woman.

3.) No, this isn’t overtly sexual at all.

4.) If you want a man, you need to cook. Plain and simple.

5.) Because it’s literally only about the man.

6.) All women have girlhood dreams of cooking for their man. All of them.

So, here’s what those ads are telling us: women are objects, they’re only good for cooking and it’s completely acceptable to beat them for doing a bad job.
Just a few decades ago, the World was kind of a scary place for a woman. Now? It still is...
