If you’ve ever replicated a viral dance routine from TikTok, you’re probably an embarrassing parent...... sorry.

According to a poll of teens still living at home, 89% are embarrassed by their mum and dad.

Although we’re surprised it’s not more. Salty,as the kids say, although even writing it in this context is probably uncool.

The survey, in conjunction with Netflix movie Back in Action  shows a definitive list of signs you’re an uncool parent.

Prepare to feel personally attacked...

Signs you’re an uncool parent

  • You attempt to do viral dance routines from TikTok (48% said this is cringe)
  • You use youth slang (44%)
  • You try and impress your child’s pals (40%)
  • You kiss your children in front of their friends (34%)
  • You have a ‘Karen’ haircut (30%)
  • You add your children’s friends on social media (30%)
  • You kiss your partner in public (25%)
  • You wear skinny jeans (22%)
  • You come along to the pub when your teens are out with friends (21%)
  • You borrow your teens clothes (21%)
  • You sing along to your favourite songs at the top of your voice (17%)
  • You post selfies on social media (16%)
  • You listen to the same music as your children (15%)
  • You go along to gigs with your children (14%)
  • You play loud music when driving (12%)

 

Another survey of parents by Netflix found almost half (49%) try to laugh off being thought of as uncool, while one in 10 (9%) pretend it doesn’t matter to them, even though it does.

In what will probably make teens everywhere shudder, and fellow parents sigh, more than half (56%) of parents surveyed said they wish they had a closer relationship with their teens.

But despite being cringeworthy, 91% of teens say they wouldn’t change a thing about their parents. So keep up the good work, I guess?
