Bringing a child into the world is a huge responsibility; not one to be taken lightly. You’re in charge of keeping a human being alive, safe, healthy, happy and shaping them into the best person they can possibly be. Parenting is a lifelong journey and a massive commitment.

There is no such thing as a perfect parent and many will admit they make mistakes along the way. But it’s the magnitude and impact of those mistakes that really matter, and of course, the intent, or lack thereof, behind your actions. Some parents try their best and still stumble. With others, it’s apparent the only thing they’re doing is damaging, neglecting or ruining their kids' lives. They can be considered really bad parents, and should probably have their parenting licenses revoked.

Some netizens gave their views, while others spoke of their personal childhood experiences. Bored Panda has picked the top comments from the post.
