    Tell Us What Immediately Screams "Bad Parenting" To You

    You might be polite, but I know you have an opinion.

    You guys, I know. We're not supposed to parent shame. And I agree... for the most part. But let's be serious: some parents make actively bad choices (or are just bad people), and that can have a negative effect on more lives than just their own kids'. So, I want to know: what do you think just screams"bad parenting?"

    Maybe you came into contact with another parent at the park who didn't let their child play with certain toys — or even worse, with certain kids — because they said, "That's not for boys" or "That's not for girls." I need to know your thoughts.

    Perhaps you've met someone whose parenting style was basically just "ignore, ignore, ignore." Or maybe you've met a parent who uses their kid's extracurriculars to further their own social life, instead of enriching their kid's.
