'Unpopular opinion but more parents need to hear that they’re doing a bad job': Dad criticizes parents for posting their toddler's meltdowns on TikTok

Parent's willingness to post private moments online has shifted in the past couple of years. When I was a kid, it was embarrassing if your mom posted about you having a bad day at school to her Facebook friends. While it was kind of humiliating for 300 of your mom's friends to see an ugly picture of you, it was at least contained to those 300 people. Today, parents post their kids' worst moments on TikTok and Instagram before they are even old enough to speak. Famously, anyone can see these posts if your account isn't private. In days of yore, parents wouldn't want to document their toddler's blood-curdling screams at Thanksgiving dinner. Still, today's parents are filming such moments and posting them under the guise of "education" and "entertainment." One father decided to criticize this gauche invasion of children's privacy, and the parents of Twitter ripped him a new one over it.
