Frances Haugen and Stuart Armfield. They are all over social media. I try blocking their pages, but they pop up everywhere. It is nothing to do with them being two gay dads. It’s just the nauseating constant attention seeking, and using the children in content to make money. There was another content creator a bug life or something, where the kid was quite cute, but is it wrong to put your kids all over the internet when they have no say in it, just to make a fast buck? By the time they decide they don’t want their younger years documented and shown all over the world it will be too late. A clip came up this morning and one of the two dads was posing in his underpants, quite provocatively, for attention, and the next scene showed the kids. Yeuch….. What do you think?

Anyone who shares their children on a public social media platform is a fool.

You aren't wrong to dislike it, but you are wrong to think your opinion should matter to them.

I mean, it’s hardly a new take. People have been complaining about others using children on their social media for a decade.

It should be illegal.

The sooner they bring in laws to stop "family influencers" the better.

I hate them all.

Especially that Jonathan Joly one, I've had him blocked for years and years.
