This is going to sound v judgy, but something doesn't sit right about a video on Instagram and reposted to Daily Mail.
Celebrity singer is filming her daughter who is about 7 dancing with her new partner. Child asks "mummy are you filming David and me?" And looks self conscious.
Celeb mummy says "no, haha I'm filming myself for a selfie"
Daughter dances on. Between celeb mum and her partner they have over 7 million followers.
Aibu to think that it's not really kind to do that to your child???

This isn't about you

Says the person who started a thread about someone else's child 🤣🤣

Ok if you have a reason you're happy with to covertly film a family member, then go for it!

There's that judgement again. And not "a family member", my 11 year old daughter. You can try as you might to make it sound like a bad thing, you have no idea of the circumstances.

This isn't about you
Correct. It is about you and the fact you believe you are right person to judge someone for their choices.

Well done difficult! I'm proud of you. That was a good point and clearly made. Points deducted from stealing it from a previous poster though.

I thought YANBU but then I've actually just watched the video and she doesn't look self conscious at all! She almost looked like she was asking because she wanted to be filmed!
