Of course, 'sharenting' is a word.
I definitely read "sharting" at first glance
believe it or not, right to jail, right away.
A right to jail bad parents as other citizens observe them would probably do a lot to change parenting.
There'd be hardly any parents left if you could jail bad parents on whim based on a singular observation.
Then many of those kids would be even worse off...
Thinking back to the very "concerned parents" of my childhood, they were usually the over protective lunatics
Well, note how I didn't say it would improve parenting.
Lol! Touché
Unfortunately, "common sense" isn't common.
1 million years dungeon!
I just read an onion article and thought this was another one.
Good!
It’s super creepy and disgusting how some parents use their children as props for social media “content” 🤮
Ruby whatever her name was comes to mind.
This is really important imo. Kids grow up predisposed to stupid oversharing of their private life. It cripples their ability to experiment and make mistakes if they have to fear being exposed to a giant audience.
I remember reading something about how gen Z, the first generation that had social media from early childhood, are more avoidant in making big life decisions than previous generations due to the sensitivity to publicly making a mistake.
Risk aversion is good for many things, but a lot of the best life experiences/accomplishments you can have require taking a leap at some point.
If you fell on your face before the camera phone. Your 2 friends laughed at you. Nowadays the whole school laughes at the video of you for a week or more. I am not at all suprised that young people are risk avoidant. I feel so very priveleged that I grew up in the slim timeframe while the internet was new and exciting and made modem warbling noises. And not now in the time when we are permanently connected, and absolutly everything on the internet is trying to exploit you, and have a team of psycoanalysts to make it most effective on you.
For sure, im not even a parent yet but this stuff is so complicated to deal with
I tell you what, I said a lot of things as a child that I would vehemently disagree with today. If I had to be branded with that staining my image for life, I don't think I could deal with the shame.
It's like a panopticon, but purely mental and inbuilt since their first memories.
This will lead to some heinous things down the line, probably started by those who by some luck of the draw weren't exposed to the panopticon.
Also some parents just don't know any better.
A friend used to routinely post about her children on Facebook and other SM, until someone claiming to be a grandmother tried to pick up one of her children from school. Fortunately, the school had safeguards in place and followed protocol. All those posts and pictures were deleted immediately.
Its so sad that stuff like this needs to happen before people wake up. The kids dont deserve failures like this as parents.
She was a decent enough, but doting mom. She was proud of her kids and thought the whole world should be blessed with their antics. It wasn't attention seeking or income generating. She just had a blind spot, assuming that because she wouldn't dream of doing that, no one else would. And it is sad, to me, that she was robbed if that innocence in a very visceral way; but she did learn a valuable lesson and never forgot it, either
I think we need to agree to disagree here. Being a parent in this world is (depending on your social status) a dangerous project that asks for a lot of responsibility.
A billion things can happen and it can kill, maim, traumatize or change your kid forever. I know because I have been one of those kids who grew up under „naive“ parents. Its hell. Life is hell afterwards.
So this is definitely triggering for me and I‘m not gonna give in to my instincts here since nobody deserves to go through what I went through. Suffice it to say that naive parents are not fit to be parents imo.
Most people are not fit to be parents.
IMO the problem is that we expect at most 2 people to share the responsibilities of parenting, when we should be sharing that responsibility across like 20 people or even more.
The idea of one or two people solely raising a child is insane, for most of human history children have been collectively raised by the tribe/village.
We're not solitary predators god damnit, we're one of the most social species on this planet! If even cats share the responsibility of raising children whenever they're able to, it should be pretty clear that we're not made to raise them on our own either.
I'm sorry for your experience, and do hope you find the healing to alleviate triggers. I wish you all the best on your journey.
Thank you very much!
It's a super difficult line to walk.
I don't mean to minimise the problems you've encountered at all.
I'm a new parent and just trying to figure all of this out. There's always competing guidance, information, and interests to be weighed. It's not easy to make the right choices.
Yes, its one of the reasons I decided not to have children. the most people arent this naive or even plain abusive or negligent. You saying that its actually not just easy to do shows that you're most likely not the problem. the people who are the problem immediately discard it or make fun of it.
Sharenting.
Close relation with Sharting
I would go for shit parenting
The Shartening
I wonder what they consider oversharing. Where exactly is that line?
Interesting because I think most family channels do it for money now, though as part of a college fund may work. If you have multiple kids and parents in a video how will it be divied up?
We don't really need college founds in Italy, the fee for a middle class family is around 2k a year
That for 4 years and living expense ain't nothing.
Sure, but nothing close to 60k a year
Thought sharenting meant split custody situations, was confused. Am a little high.
That’s a good idea. Think I’m gonna get high myself
How'd it go
Pretty great. I munched a brownie, made pancakes and watched a movie.
Same. And I wasn't even high.
Yhe fuk is sharenting
I was confused as well, so I went out of my way to find this article which explains it.
From the article:
It's a portmanteau really - unless this is another American English difference.
I'd rather see them put a lot of effort into educating folks instead. If they're well educated about how everything works, this issue, and others in the future, would be addressed.
The parents are already "burned" and wont change from some info campaign. The abuse starts before school or even kindergarden age so there is no chance to educate the victims.
As someone who's always hated being publicized, yes pls.
