Constantly talk about their parenting style, rules and beliefs online? It’s exhausting and so dull. I have no issue with the way anyone parents their own dc, but I just don’t see why they feel the need to tell everyone else about it. The Tik Tok trend of ‘controversial ways we parent’ which never are really controversial, it’s all within the realm of standard parenting. Or ‘things I judge other mums for’ which is just gross.
But even people I know are at it - long winded explanations on instagram stories about how and why they don’t allow their dc screens while eating in public - again, don’t disagree but why do you need to tell everyone your rules? Why do you assume they care? I know someone who is apparently on a one woman mission to educate the entire world about the dangers of forward facing and internet usage in the under 13s. I’ve had to mute her.
Has this always been a thing? Back before social media did mums stop each other in the street to talk about their particular parenting style? Often in a oneupmanship kind of way as well.
With the exception of obvious neglect I really couldn’t give two shits about how others bring up with their own kids. It’s one of many reasons im thinking of coming off social media.
