Notes need to be taken.
“Family vloggers, mommy vloggers, van life vloggers, pranksters.
There are even parents who consciously or unconsciously stage their children in inappropriate ways,“tinoundleidaksaid.
These are little people, not accessories, and they are entitled to the same autonomy as you.
Until a person can consent to their images being used, they shouldnt be.
So many children now have a huge online presence before they even own an electronic rig.

“There are also ‘social media moms’.
It’s especially irritating if you happen to know for a fact that it’s all for show.”
4.Telling your child they won’t like something is a big one that sticks out forwinterwednesday9.
“My sister has done this to my nephew his entire life.
Now, he’s 14 and refuses to try anything.
No new foods, no new activities (which means he does NOTHING) nothing.
She just did it again atEaster.
LET HIM TRY IT.
He’s going to miss out on so much in life because he refuses to try.”
5.nurseynursesaid it is common for many parents not to vaccinate their kids in 2024.
“Im a pediatric nurse and we see this often.
We just had a neonate who had a heart defect his mom smoked weed while she was pregnant.
Thats what they chose to take a stand on.
So frustrating!!”
“I once called a mom regarding her 8th-grade daughter going on Instagram Live in the middle of class.
The moms reply was: ‘My daughter doesnt have a phone.
We dont allow her on social media.’
…Maam, yes she does.
She is on it every day.
Hell, she once DMed me on Instagram to ask if she left her charger behind in class.”
“I teach preschool and kids are just out of control these days.
They have iPads all the time.
8.Gendered parenting is also still very much a thing.
9.Being your child’s “best friend” is somethingelinumber2says is very toxic.
The same applies to reacting emotionally when your child asserts a boundary.”
By the looks of it, youve never actually disciplined your child before.
As readerapplesauceandchopsput it, “These parents don’t allow their kids to ‘clean up their messes.’
Once they are in their teens, they need to learn to self-advocate.”

13.And scheduling every minute of your childs life can also be very unhealthy, according tojadefishes.
14.Not to mention, there are also what society calls “beige moms.
“hejsoxhhsiduwuexplains, “Beige moms literally hate it when their child becomes attached to something because its colorful.
Ive seen them spray painting toys so that they fit their ownaestheticrather than make the damn kid happy.”
“I knew someone who did their babys nursery in beige and wanted the baby ONLY to wear neutrals.
Its just so weird.
They are learning and developing from seeing it.
Let them enjoy it.
Dont make them your weird aesthetic.”
“Its becoming an ‘anything goes’ society.
Theres a huge lack of empathy, which is unsettling.
Spend time with them and get to know your child.
