Some asking if it's too late to ABORT their teens - and even Shark Tank's Mark Cuban has joined in Parents are roasting their teenage and young adult children with extremely harsh insults in a darkly funny TikTok trend — going so far as to say their kids were unwanted, grew up to be disappointments, and in some cases, should have even been aborted.
The trend, which has taken off in the past week, involves mothers and fathers recording themselves while their grown and teenage children can be seen in the background.
They then superimpose the videos with not-so-nice messages about their children, with some even complaining — humorously — that their kids should have never been born.

Parents are roasting their teenage and young adult children with extremely harsh insults in a darkly funny TikTok trend — going so far as to say their kids were unwanted, grew up to be disappointments, and in some cases, should have even been aborted.
The trend, which has taken off in the past week, involves mothers and fathers recording themselves while their grown and teenage children can be seen in the background.
They then superimpose the videos with not-so-nice messages about their children, with some even complaining — humorously — that their kids should have never been born.
The videos are all set to 'no no no no no no no no' by #fypsounds and follow the same format.
The parents always look completely unamused in the foreground, seemingly over whatever it is their kids are doing.
In the background, their kids either appear unaware they are being filmed, or they are doing something ridiculous.
'This mf forgot to defrost the chicken,' reads one. 'Just like I forgot to take my birth control 18 years ago.
'Does anybody know how to revert this mf back into sperm? This leech won't stop spending my money on Starbucks,' reads another.
Dramatic: Several went as far as to say they should have aborted their kids, or would like to now.
One mother said her 21-year-old son is 'walking around in a fake robe and headband' and she 'should've left him in Vietnam.'
And a couple of gay fathers quipped that they were considering voting for Donald Trump on Election Day so he'd outlaw gay adoption and they can 'return it' — 'it' being their daughter.
One joked that his son was 'an accident,' while another said of his gay, colorblind son: 'Like what rainbow are you seeing?'
Justin Lee, who goes by @juiceboxtincan and is the blind, gay son, told the Daily Dot that the trend is just a joke, and the kids are in on it, asking their parents to partipate.
'It’s nothing harmful, really,' he said. 'In reality, it’s just the creator themselves making fun of themselves. It’s not actually parents talking to their children like that.'
