People Are Sharing The “Normal” Parenting Rules That They Think Are Emotionally Damaging

“I feel like it’s abusive to post photos of your kids on social media, especially when it’s done in reference to something embarrassing or discipline-worthy that they’ve done.”

“Like, people on my friends list will post photos of their kids with captions like ‘X cheated on a test so now we’re doing extra chores’, with a picture of the kid cleaning, or similar situations like filming and posting when a kid has a tantrum or meltdown. 

To me that feels needlessly cruel, considering that kid will eventually be an adult and the internet is forever. They will grow up with a negative internet presence with a bunch of embarrassing photos, videos, and text posts out there that they never consented to, which could affect their social lives as they get older. To be clear, I think it’s wrong to put your kids online at all because, data privacy really isn’t a thing in most of the world, but it is really gross seeing people punish their kids online like that.”
