After a certain age, children feel incredibly badly treated – e.g. when you have to put on your jacket because it's freezing outside. Or the cat won't let its tail be pulled. Or if you'd rather pull them away from the fresh dog poop before they can dig into it. And who is to blame? Correct. We parents!
Have you ever told your child that you can also eat broken granola bars? Or gave him the green cup, even though it suddenly wanted the blue one? Yes? Then you are probably real asshole parents. Assholeparents.com is now called its own blog, which deals with this very special kind of early childhood outbursts in a wonderfully amusing way. Is the jacket too warm, the ice too cold, the cat too shy or the sun too bright? Yes, then it's just the parents' fault. Logical.
This hodgepodge of curious situations in which parents are just assholes from the point of view of their own children is so absurd and true at the same time that you should be careful not to get a headache from nodding too much. Because even if we often neither understand nor understand these (mostly very theatrical) tantrums – we know them all!
1. "She should come down for lunch. I'm an asshole parent."
2. "I'm an asshole parent because their ice cream was too cold."
3. "I didn't allow her to lick the table in the restaurant so I'm an asshole parent."
4. "He wanted to pull the basket and we said yes. We asshole parents."
5. "I parted her on the side so I'm an asshole parent."
6. "I'm an asshole parent because I forbade him to eat goat shit."
By the way, you can also publicly display your "shameful deeds" with the hashtag #assholeparent on Twitter and Instagram and put yourself in the digital pillory – and don't worry, you are in good company!
