To think Baby Sharks family exploited his cuteness?

[SleepingStandingUp]

I mean what kind of childhood will he have really? Performing on all these shows, all the books etc that he has to do press for just cos his family wanted to make money and be famous?
I mean I can't see the other kids treating him the same now

Yanbu. It's all very well using him as marketing fodder now, but what's going to happen when he's old enough to have an opinion about his online exposure?

Exactly Chalk, or his voice breaks. I mean I bet he can't swim in any ocean without someone singing baby shark at him. This kind of thing Erin's childhoods. Just look at Drew Barrymore

Ruins not Erin's

I feel sorry for Baby Shark. Having to sing that same do do do song over and over, having his name changed to Brooklyn to sound more cool. They've even dragged his cousin sharks into it now. I bet its Mummy Shark's doing. She seems very controlling.

100% yanbu

Along with Ryan's dreadful parents! Far worse than Baby Sharks parents

Don't get me started. I do wonder at what point he'll turn around to his parents and be like what did you do to my childhood?? But then maybe the fully paid off uni and the nice house and the big car when he's 16 will make it worth it to him.

My DD said to me the other day "why can't you be fun all the time like Ryan's parents?"

I said "do you think they are really like that when the cameras are turned off?"

And she said, all wide eyed "they make so many shows I think the cameras must always be on"

I always wonder of the toys are sponsored / gifted to advertise or brought? DS, 5, can pretty much replicate a show with any of his toys. Why aren't I rich like Ryan??

I keep banning Ryan, but then see is face all over the toys in the shops! He lives in a huge house already, it will be a castle soon. And now they have twin girls so it will never end 🤯

Isn't there anyway a little brother or cousin?

I have a 5 yo and twins, mine are all cute, I want a big house!! And I'm gonna bloody well sell my kids childhood to get it.

Mark my words, He will be addicted to seaweed crack by the age of 17 and catch crabs.

I'd like to formally object to this stalking and harassment of baby sharks parents.

Thank God legislation is being proposed to deal with incidents like this

You've got to get over to Tattle if you want the real dirt on Baby Shark's parents. I hear they're in a loveless marriage and Daddy Shark has been sexting Daddy Ray. And Mummy Shark has been photoshopping all her pictures to look thinner.

Well I think we've answered the question of whether Mommy Shark is on Mumsnet @Mayorquimby2. Good disguise p. Let your kids have a property childhood swimming round the reefs with his mates and eating fish

Would other sharks recognise baby shark? I mean to me he looks like a generic shark

What a speciesist thing to say! You should be ashamed of yourself!!

Nevermore, to paraphrase what Jarvis said at Glastonbury, even if Pulp are only famous for one song, he'd accept that.

I second Milk. I really think you need to go on one of those awareness courses where we recognise individuals not just their group. Baby is an individual, he's world famous, you're very dismissive of the trains this can cause a young shark. Different animal but just look at how long flipper spent in rehab. And at least Memos Dad tried to spells him as much as he could sitting their docudrama

If you think that's bad, Marlin allowed a full length film to be made made about the murder of most of his family, followed by his disabled sons kidnap. Nemo will be scared for life by the trauma of his childhood, and all Marlins thinking of is cashing in.

I know you should judge people on where they live, but I feel that a lot of ocean dwellers do not have great family values.

I saw it more as a docu-drama of a single father trying to raise his son

If Marlin has been Marla a single mum they would have never made the film. Single mum fish who lose their kids in the big bad ocean get social surferses not "awws"

That's very true actually Zara.
