If you thought your family had issues, brace yourself for A&E’s “Parent Wars.” This series collects viral videos of extreme parenting fails, cringe-worthy confrontations, and public displays of parental chaos. Tuesday’s episode, “Dial M for Mom,” airing at 10:01 PM ET, brings another round of jaw-dropping behavior that will leave you wondering, “Did that really just happen?”
From a dad abusing his authority as a police officer to pull over his daughter’s boyfriend, to a skatepark brawl between two Connecticut moms resulting in arrests, the episode is a greatest-hits collection of parental overreactions. Oh, and don’t forget the Georgia mom who goes on a phone-smashing rampage – all in the name of tough love, apparently.
“Parent Wars” is less about helpful parenting tips and more about the baffling and often hilarious extremes parents reach. It’s a reminder that raising kids is a contact sport, though sometimes, it looks more like a cage match. “Parent Wars” airs Tuesdays at 10:01 PM ET on A&E.
