I don't get it. I *know* I don't understand. I have two tough DSs so I am not trying to see this judgmentally. But why would a smart mother allow their 10.5 year old DD to have an oversexualized public youtube account? The parents are incredibly smart and nice. They seem terribly handwringing about this child's mental health yet they are fully aware of how she is spending hours and hours a day in inappropriate clothing with full makeup acting sexy on a public channel. Is this the norm?
The parents are morons. You don't need girls to know this is terrible parenting.
Agreed. I have DDs and they are not like this.
Are you sure they know about it? You'd be amazed at how ignorant some parents are about their children's online activities.
how do you know so much about what someone else’s kid is watching? The equivalent complaint might be that kids that age are playing video games that some might find inappropriately violent.
What are you on about?
Your question still applies (how does OP know? probably through her own kids’ watching? ) but she is concerned about the kid -posting- videos, not watching videos.
@SilenceDogood a video game is nothing compared to having tits and bits out on display 😒
I don't think it is the norm, but I know several kids who have public you tube channels doing crazy things. I think the parents are hoping they will be the next Youtube stars and make a lot of money.
That's so declasse
Parents are trying to be progressive, not realizing that in the process they are negligent and failing to be parents.
My mother was similar, in a way. She wanted me to be cool and popular so badly in high school that she let me do horribly inappropriate things. I took advantage because at the time I thought it was great that I could drink with impunity and stay over at boys houses.
They are bad parents.
Agree. I think there is an idea that their kids will be famous youtube stars so they eye-roll all the way through it but the truth is they approve and aspire
I don’t see that yet but I see young girls 12-14 wearing the shortest /tightest shorts And tiny shirts. Like why is that ok with these parents ? I have boys so I don’t know , it’s fucking bizarre to see girls their age dressed like this. 12 yo boys are not looking at them, old Pervy men are!
Exactly!
