To think family vloggers should not film their toddler's poo?

[MarySmilingAndHerBrassieres]

I remember last year there was a thread about the Saccone Jolys filming their two year old daughter on the toilet. Their vlog tonight contains a long story and spectacle about their two year old pooing supposedly in his father's hand and then later the poo turning up under the bed. Let's not even go there about the dubious story. Said poo was even filmed.

Am I missing something here? This little boy has no say in being filmed every day and now he has an embarrassing moment on the Internet forever. This blatant disregard for their own children's dignity makes me sick, tbh. However, commenters on the video (who are admittedly mostly kids) are saying that he will probably find it funny when he's older. Am I overreacting here?

Ok, I've had chance to watch the video now. I don't watch the SJs as much as I used to but I'm familiar with them and still watch now and again.

My opinion is still the same, though.

The problem these days is that everyone is so serious about everything. It's lighthearted! These things happen day in, day out in households with kids. Yes, the SJs have put it out there, but they've chosen to do that because they make a living by sharing their lives online.

All this about them exploiting their children makes me hoot! Eduardo pooed. He's being toilet trained! Millions of children have pooed on the floor whilst being toilet trained. Or, picked up a poo and put it on the floor, whatever!

People are far too quick to be all PC these days. As I said before, if you don't like it, don't watch it! Maybe you could put some of the energy you put into bashing other people into making sure your own children are happy and healthy.

Okay, turquoise. You're entitled to your opinion. It doesn't make sense to me that you think because millions of children have had poo accidents during toilet training, it's okay to broadcast that to the world and set a child up for future humiliation, but there we go.

Do you honestly think that he's going to disown his parents when he's older due to the humiliation that has occurred from a five minute segment of a family vlog?

Just think about it. I think you're making mountains out of molehills, OP.

We'll agree to disagree.

The Saccone Joly adults in this family stand for everything that is wrong in this world.

They are the worst type of people.

Attention seeking idiots.

I mean I don't think online oversharing of kids' carryings on necessarily means that the sharer is a complete dick but it does seem thoughtless and I don't really understand the motivation behind it.

I suppose it's no coincidence that the majority of the loyal viewers of these videos are girls of 14 or so, rather than other families.

It's entirely possible. I would, personally. And I'd expect my own children to have enough self respect awareness do likewise, should the situation occur (it won't).

I have only heard of these people on MN - they sound like the typical attention seeking twats. However, the best thing to do with people like that is don't watch the shit (no pun intended) that they post - hopefully if everyone were to do that, they would stop doing it.

Starting threads about them and linking to their vlog is giving them much-craved attention.

Just to clarify with you all, I asked HQ to remove the link as it had done its purpose and the troll-hunting was deleted.

WimbledonMum, what a list. Can you really say all that is overreacting, turquoise? Seems like massively overstepping boundaries to me.

Ok, WimbledonMum. All those things obviously really concern you.

So, what are your next steps? Why don't you complain to their management of you are concerned for the children? How do you know about all of these things, anyway? Could it be because you watch them?

These people make money by people watching heir videos. So you're actually ensuring that they are earning more by watching them, despite you being disgusted by them.

None of them shock me at the moment, because they are written in such a way to sensationalise an event. In other words, I'd have to actually see the video and/or what the SJs say about the issue before making a judgement on it.

If the first one shocked you, why continue to watch the rest? Why give them the time (and money) you don't want them to have? This is what I don't get. Again, if you don't like it, don't watch it!

We all have different standards as parents when it comes down to what is acceptable and what isn't. The SJs are in charge of their children, and what they put on the Internet. As you are, of your own children.

We live in the world where there is already so much crap going on. There needs to be less bashing of other parents and more focus on what you can do to better yourself and a parent to your kids. Stop worrying about everyone else's lives and worry about your own!

I know, of course, that this isn't what you want to hear. Saying 'if you don't like it, don't watch it' is blunt but it also brings closure to an issue and you don't like it because you can't continue on your 'omg how RIDIC' spiel.

Stop watching the SacconeJolys if you don't like them or what they stand for.

There are serious issues that arise from these vlogs and we are free to debate them as parents and say what we like. Maybe you are in the wrong thread.

As I said before, if you are seriously concerned, then report it.

You're not 'debating' anything, you're bashing them for things that they have decided to do or say that have no impact on you and that you are not made to watch.

You know what? I agree. I think this is the wrong thread for me, now. I'm not the sort of person that looks to criticise other parents for leisure or to make myself feel better.
