Lets Play Who's the Crazy Parent

As a daycare director I see a lot of crazy parenting. I mean really crazy parenting. But I as a parent and a former child I have seen and done my fair share of insane parenting too. So because I enjoyed our little game show so much yesterday I thought today we'd play:

Who's the Crazy Parent?

Yes Who's the Crazy Parent? The game show where you guess who is doing the crazy parenting. Winners will get a week of no one looking at them funny in the grocery store when you end up yelling at your child a little louder than you meant to. (prizes not guaranteed in all 50 states)
