Have your little ones ever startled you awake at 4 a.m.? Or claimed they hail from another lifetime? And let’s not forget about those unsettling antique dolls with their dark eyes and porcelain faces! It’s not just kids that can send chills down your spine; we’ve all felt uneasy when a stranger stands too close in line at the grocery store. Or when you casually mention needing a new rug, and suddenly, your phone is flooded with rug ads.
Creepy vibes are everywhere, and it’s crucial to trust your instincts to identify them and keep your children safe. At the very least, we should banish any unnerving toys from our homes. That talking alphabet puzzle that comes alive in the dead of night? Yeah, toss that in the trash. Victorian-era toys are particularly creepy—I can’t fathom how children back then weren’t petrified by those bizarre playthings.
Confessions of the Creepy Kind
Confession #25761948: I find reborn dolls unsettling, yet I secretly desire one.
Confession #25758171: My first-grade teacher sobbed while reading, “I’ll Love You Forever,” and I always thought it was a creepy story, even at age 6. Sorry, but I won’t be that kind of mom.
Confession #25792957: I suspect my daughter has lived a past life. When she was two, she told me I was her second mom and that her other mom had passed away long ago. How do you parent a soul older than you?
Confession #25809050: Kids and their toys can be super eerie, and yes, a story about a mother breaking into her grown son’s house to hold him is creepy too!
I don’t get the Halloween obsession. The cemetery and coffin decorations around my neighborhood? Creepy AF.
Confession #25800170: It creeps me out to watch a baseball game on TV filled with life-size cardboard cutouts of fans.
Confession #25792777: My husband’s habit of combing his beard constantly is unsettling—why does he think that’s cool?
Confession #25775706: And then there are things others love that freak you out. Like the odd beard-combing or those cardboard cutouts we pretend are real to escape the pandemic for a couple of hours.
Confession #25787529: Daddy/Daughter dances seem creepy AF. Why can’t dads bond with their daughters doing something non-dating-related, like fishing? Gross.
Confession #25786011: Since my grandfather passed over a decade ago, my mom posts about him regularly, using a pet name she never used while he was alive. Just creepy!
Confession #25775294: My son’s paternal grandma insisted on calling him “lover.” I lost it and told her she wouldn’t see him again if that continued. So creepy!
Confession #25765789: Do you have that one uncle whose gaze gives you chills? Or an inappropriate mother-in-law with no boundaries? Bizarre daddy-daughter relationships that feel borderline incestuous? I can relate.
Confession #25762923: I found out my trainer has a sock fetish and has been covertly taking pictures of our feet. I think it’s creepy, but I’ve been wearing wild socks to troll him. Not sorry.
Confession #25753456: My creepy neighbor installed cameras pointing at our house. Can’t wait to move!
Confession #25752203: I enjoy my morning coffee at Dunkin, but there’s this one man who always sits next to me, despite plenty of other options. So creepy! I reported him to the manager, but my gut doesn’t feel right about it.
Confession #25775001: While waiting for lab tests at the doctor’s office, I got a targeted ad that said, “What are you doing there? We’re just 4 miles away and much cheaper!” Have I mentioned how disturbing targeted advertising is?
Confession #25775001: And that unsettling feeling when you sense someone’s watching you—whether through a camera or from just a couple of feet away? Creeeeeeepy.
While we can chuckle at the harmlessly disturbing Victorian dolls, if someone in your life makes you uneasy, trust that intuition. But you might have to learn to accept your husband’s quirky beard-combing if you truly love him and his beard. It’s your call.
