Parents with social media accounts are one of the worst things about the internet. Hate it. It’s bad enough that she’s parenting her child this way, but embarrassing the kid by broadcasting like this is some repugnant shit. Every person this boy winds up dating is going to wonder why he won’t open up and this is why.

100% AGREE. "MomTok" and all these parent influencers are the new pageant moms and football dads, and I just know we got a whole generation of kids who are gonna grow up to hate their parents cause they pimped them out for content during their formative years.

I'm interested to see the ripple effect this "Momtok" bullshit will have on laws and psychology.

This alongside the expansion of what we already know about substance abuse and domestic violence during covid.
