Celebrities are just like regular parents, for the most part. The main difference is that their horrible parenting moments are often caught on camera, while most regular moms and dads can get away with screwing up every once in a while.

When you live your life under a microscope like today’s stars, it’s to be expected that you’ll eventually get busted doing something that society will judge you for. Beyond the stereotypical parenting drama- like nursing versus formula feeding, disposable diapers or cloth, baby led weaning or starting solids early- there are extreme parenting fails that can put kids in direct danger. Celebs aren’t perfect, either.

At least us regular moms benefit from seeing these celebs mess up, so that we don’t do the same- whether or not we’re being followed by the paparazzi. Check out these 15 celebs’ worst parenting moments- after all, they have been immortalized online already.

15 Chrissy Teigen - Manhandles Baby Luna

Chrissy Teigen might be the most loved and most hated celeb online, what with her pervasive Twitter rants and impossible good looks. We assume most moms are just jealous of her, since she looks damn good after having baby Luna (plus, John Legend, am I right?).

So moms were divided when Chrissy was spotted holding infant Luna in a somewhat awkward position. A fan on Twitter berated Chrissy for manhandling her infant, suggesting that it’s not the proper way to carry a baby. Chrissy, of course, retorted with attitude and defended her parenting, noting that it was late and she was about to put the baby in her stroller when paparazzi ambushed the family. But hey, Chrissy didn’t drop baby Luna, and the little girl didn’t seem bothered by the way mama was handling her, so is it really as bad as it seems?

14 Kailyn Lowry - Brings Baby Daddy Drama

Of all the teen moms, Kailyn was always the one we rooted for most. A breastfeeding advocate and natural-minded mama who worked hard for her babies, Kail was practically the role model for teen moms. She even worked out her relationship with oldest son Isaac’s dad, Jo, who she’d previously had a lot of tense moments with.

So it was a bummer to find out that her relationship with then-husband Javi Marroquin was less than stellar once they started filming for Teen Mom. When the relationship started to crumble, Javi was apparently overseas, serving in the military. When he got home, the marriage imploded and both he and Kailyn said things they probably regretted later. Apart from that fight, other shouting matches happened in front of Isaac as well as Javi and Kailyn’s son.

13 Kate Gosselin - Reality Star Gets Aggressive

Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin had plenty of drama in her life with then-husband Jon, but things seemed to settle down once the two divorced. But then photos surfaced of Gosselin seemingly losing her temper with her kids, which include twins and a set of sextuplets. Though the sextuplets just turned 13, mom Kate still catches guff for her past behavior with them.

From criticisms of her less-than-involved parenting (teams of nannies for the kids as babies on up) to allegations of abuse for sending son Collin to a facility to ‘deal with’ his special needs, Kate is endlessly in the spotlight even when the cameras aren’t rolling. Even in recent episodes of her show, however, Kate is seen screaming at the kids, the Daily Mail reports. Luckily now that they’re older, the kids can hopefully speak up against their mom’s tyrannical ways.

12 Kourtney K - Famous Tot In Need Of Rescue

Kourtney Kardashian’s daughter Penelope Disick had a run-in with a car door- literally. The toddler seemed to be in a hurry to jump in the car, toting her dinosaur backpack, when she smacked right into the open door. This series of images is painful to look at, and we’re guessing Penelope had a lasting reminder of this oops for at least a few days.

While we can’t blame Kourtney for her daughter’s unfortunate run-in, what is sad about her parenting is that she’s not even paying attention to Penelope, and the person in the background reaches out to help before Kourtney notices anything. Whether it’s the nanny or the driver of the car, Penelope’s lucky someone was there to try and catch her at least, even if it wasn’t her mom.

11 Farrah Abraham - Tot Growing Up Too Fast

Farrah Abraham is often criticized for a whole host of parenting mistakes, but the most serious to us is the fact that she seems to not understand what’s appropriate for children, like eyebrow waxing and makeup. All of Sophia’s life, the Teen Mom star has treated the little girl like an accessory and an afterthought. She left Sophia behind to attend school, leaving the tot with her mom, who she often fought with.

Plus, as Sophia has grown, all she’s known is her mom having plastic surgery, fawning over men, and selling adult videos for cash (Farrah took Sophia to the initial negotiations over her sex film with James Deen). Farrah even promotes her “pleasure products” line in between sharing shots of Sophia on her Instagram, which wouldn’t bother us so much if she didn’t involve her kid so deeply in adult subjects.

10 Kate Middleton - Car Seat Usage Not So Princely

Car seat techs the world over collectively gasped when Prince George came home with parents Prince William and Duchess Kate in 2013. Along with George swaddled with his arms over his head, his car seat was also excessively loose, with critics noting that this is not the way to keep a newborn baby of any status safe.

Being that he’s royalty, we would have assumed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would have hired a nanny or some other expert to ensure that they had not only the safest car seat, but that it was used properly. That said, why didn’t anyone else around them- like the nurses where Kate delivered- mention to the couple that their precious son wasn’t buckled properly? Luckily, the parents seem to have redeemed themselves now that they’re the parents to two tots who are obviously well cared for.

9 Coco Austin - Nearly Suffocates Chanel

We love breastfeeding moms, whether they’re celebrities or not. So it’s amazing that Coco Austin, Ice T’s leading lady, photographed herself nursing little Chanel. What got even the most avid breastfeeding advocates up in arms was the fact that Coco was nursing Chanel in her car seat, while they were apparently in a moving vehicle.

Good on Coco for making sure baby was fed, but the safest way to get the milk to her was not for Coco to shove her ample bosom into the car seat. Stop the vehicle and let baby have a snack, right? Chanel could be suffocated by her mom’s breast, sure, but also in the event of an accident, that much of Coco’s body weight isn’t ideal to have smashed on top of her tiny infant.

8 Kim K - Obliviously Misses Fall

We know Kim Kardashian West has a lot on her plate, but we have to say, this series of photos hurts our hearts. Daughter North was walking behind her mom, holding an older child’s hand, when she took a fall that could have been gnarly. Oblivious Kim keeps walking without turning around. We’d like to assume it’s because North was fine and didn’t cry, but it could also be that Kim simply didn’t notice that North was struggling, and didn’t think to check behind her to see that she was still there.

In the scheme of things, though, this isn’t the absolute worst criticism of Kim’s parenting, since she’s always the topic of gossip articles about her risqué photo shoots despite being a mom of two. Hopefully we’ll see her on camera showing a little more compassion next time one of her kids trips and falls.

7 Leah Messer - Texting And Driving

Leah Messer might have originally been a Teen Mom sweetheart when her twins were first born, but the MTV star slowly started unraveling as the TV series sped up. Now that she’s mom to another daughter, and not with any of her kids’ fathers, the twice-divorced mom is understandably stressed. But still, texting while driving is a major no-no for any mom who values her kids’ safety.

Although, it might not be as damaging long-term as the time Leah was busted smoking in the car with her girls, but still- texting and driving could wind up deadly if they get in an accident while mom is distracted. Luckily, Leah seems to finally be getting it together in recent months, taking her kids on vacation and flaunting her bikini-clad bod. We’re glad she seems less stressed- maybe it’ll help her be more focused on her kids’ safety!

6 JWoww’s Dress Up Fail

Jersey Shore alum Jenni Farley isn’t exactly known for her decorum. But we thought she’d tone it down a little once baby Meilani arrived. Quite the opposite, it seems. Rather than dressing up in her own signature Jersey Shore style, JWoww decided to put the big-breasted and glam look on her infant daughter.

Complete with scaled-down baby boobies and a wig, baby Meilani was definitely channeling her mom’s wild partying days. But that’s not exactly the look most infants go for. Critics judged JWoww for parading her infant around in a hoochie mama getup, but the reality show star didn’t seem bothered by the drama. Then again, getting attention is what JWoww was always about, especially on Jersey Shore, so we can’t say we’re surprised to see her treating her daughter like a baby doll.

5 Pink - Spurs Car Seat Fury

Another mom that’s loved by the masses made a major car seat snafu recently. Pink’s daughter Willow, who she took a selfie with in the car, was improperly buckled in her car seat. Although we’re glad to see that Pink follows the safety recommendation of keeping kids in a five-point harness until they’re old enough, big enough, and mature enough for a booster, six-year-old Willow could use a more precisely placed chest clip.

The whole point of the chest clip is to lay across the child’s chest, not below their ribs where all their soft organs are. If Pink and Willow got in an accident with the car seat buckled like this, Willow could be severely injured. Conversely, if the straps were fixed, even a severe accident might not injure the little girl. So come on, Pink, crack open a car seat user manual!

4 Michael Jackson - Just Call Him Blanket

Music icon Michael Jackson made headlines when he first introduced his son Prince Michael Jackson II, dangling the tot over a balcony with a blanket covering his head. Throughout his childhood, Prince was always referred to as Blanket, a nickname that followed him as he grew up in LA. When Michael Jackson passed away, when his youngest son was only seven, the already shy child withdrew further.

After years of bullying about his nickname, “Blanket” reportedly decided to go by the name Bigi, a name he picked on his own. We don’t blame him, since his early years being brought out in public with a blanket or mask over his face probably had a severe impact on how he handles social situations today. Fortunately he now lives a semi-normal life in LA, where the Telegraph reports he’s doing well in school.

3 Peaches Geldof - Dumps Son

Troubled star Peaches Geldof was roasted when photos emerged of her dumping her infant son’s pram on the sidewalk. Critics noted that while Peaches immediately stopped and scooped up baby Astala, she didn’t hang up her phone call which the crash apparently interrupted. Geldof later tweeted that her son was buckled in, so luckily he wasn’t hurt. However, the photographs clearly show Astala falling out of the pram upside down, so he obviously wasn’t buckled at the time. Peaches also suggested the city needed to solve the problem of the cracks in the sidewalk, dodging responsibility for not paying attention while steering the pram.

Tragically, Peaches passed away in 2014 following a heroin overdose, leaving her young sons Astala and Phaedra, and husband Thomas, bereft. The house they lived in is overgrown and abandoned, Daily Mail reports, since Thomas was too traumatized to return home after his wife’s death.

2 Britney Spears - Drives With Tot On Her Lap

Britney Spears is every millennial’s example of what not to do as a parent, since she was in the media excessively after the birth of her two kids. Her first son, Preston, was the one photographed sitting on his famous mother’s lap as she drove a black SUV as paparazzi looked on. The star held her five-month-old son rather than putting him in his car seat because she claimed that paparazzi were harassing her, but the photographers that were present denied that claim.

We weren’t sure what to think then, what with Britney’s erratic behavior in both parenting and other scenarios, like when she shaved her head following what seemed to be a mental breakdown. She makes this list because the images of her and her son are still prevalent today, despite those events happening over a decade ago.

1 Britney Again - Close Call While Carrying Baby

Another famous moment Britney Spears will never be allowed to forget is the time she almost dropped her infant son on his head, or at least strained his neck, while walking to her vehicle. The mom seems sort of oblivious to her infant in the snap, and she seems a little out of it in general.

Britney caught heat for not just this parenting moment, but plenty of others over the years, and the drama started when she hooked up with baby daddy Kevin Federline. That duo soon proved to be short lived, as her former backup dancer went on to publicly feud with the pop star throughout the pair’s two children’s early years. Currently Britney seems to be doing a lot better, and her kids have survived thus far, so we assume that the years have matured her.
