One Of Those Problems...
I must be getting pretty obsessive if I cannot let even an error in a comic strip pass ...
But here goes. The first speech bubble should read: Mom, I never thought I’d be one of those parents who are always screaming no at her kids.
That’s because the speaker is One of X, where X is those parents who are always screaming no at her kids.
In grammatical terms, who are ... her kids is a relative clause, and the relative pronoun who refers, of course, to the plural head noun parents — hence it takes the plural are rather than singular is.
