Parents That Are So Extra They Might As Well Be Guac

Some of us are extremely extra. Everything we do, we do it big and are aggressively annoying about it. Whether it's excessively yelling in an argument, or throwing a surprise birthday party for your cat — over-exaggerating and crossing the line just run in our blood. Literally.

For most, this "extra-ness" comes from somewhere, and it's usually our parents. Growing up and watching your parents over-do everything just engrains the mindset and we automatically have to be extra by association. Here's a list of some of the most extra parents, being, well, themselves.

Take A Picture Or Else You Won't See The Light Of Day

Having an outfit that's on fleek and wanting to show it off isn't just a millennial thing. Is your outfit even nice if you don't get the satisfaction and dopamine hit that comes from at least 11 likes and 4 comments on Facebook? The answer is no. You might as well have worn sweatpants and a hoodie.

Now that our parents and grandparents are getting onto social media, they're starting to feel left out. They see young people getting a significant amount of likes on their posts and wonder what they're doing wrong.

As a parent, on your kid's graduation you're happy for everyone, but realistically you couldn't care less about anyone other than your own. If it takes printing out big cardboard cutouts of your boy to ensure that he feels the love more than any other kid in the ceremony, that's what you do.

Why are dog owners the most extra people alive? Dogs have fur for a reason, they don't need a full North Face parka to go out in 60-degree weather, I think they'll be fine.

I feel like if you have those curtains for your bathtub there always has to be rose petals sprinkled in the water. Heck, that water better be spritzed with lemon flavoring as well. This might also be the opening to some sort of bougee Narnia-esque world where everything is made from pure gold.
