According to this Instagram account, toddler tantrums are all YOUR fault

Do your kids ever have a meltdown for what seems like no reason at all? Ever thought that it might be all YOUR fault? We’re just kidding, obviously (unless it is), but an Instagram account called assholeparents makes light of the mini meltdowns and shows us that we’re not alone in our parenting struggles.

The account was set up by one mum as a humorous reminder that we’re all in this together. She says on her site, “It’s a universal experience: having a small child be disappointed in something completely illogical. Despite our best efforts, children are often frustrated. Sometimes they think we’re awful, when we’re really just being parents.”

So the next time you stop your child from eating fresh dog poo, or you won’t take them to Disney before bedtime, bear in mind that you might just be an as*hole parent.

I wouldn’t take him to Disney before bedtime so I’m an asshole. #assholeparent (via @donnawildhaf)
