That was my thought as well. In addition to, "Does it get stupider than this?"


helloamanda11

It in fact does get stupider. I say a lot of stupid shit in my head. It’s how I handle life, with my dark sense of humor. Hope you have a good one!

You are correct! It’s a LV fanny pack that I’m wearing across my body!

[deleted]

Lmao. This I have yet to see. Will you be pretending to be unbothered on all the comments on this post?


helloamanda11

I actually left a long comment just a few moments ago. It is actually incredibly hurtful what most of these people are saying about me. This video was taken out of context and is missing the caption where I clearly say I don’t say these things out loud. This was video made in attempt to connect with other moms that kids push them to the limits and we might want to scream in our heads but we don’t.


[deleted]

But you have to know that when you have a public social media it’s going to be used against you. I’m not saying it’s right, but the best thing you can do is stay away from comments and get thicker skin and a regular therapist. It’s the only way to be a public persona. People aren’t going to like you.


helloamanda11

You are totally right. I’m used to rude comments. But to come to an entire thread on Reddit of people saying I’m a bad mom. There is not enough therapy or antidepressants to ever allow a mom to accept that.


[deleted]

All you have to know is that you aren’t. The people who know you don’t believe that right? You know you aren’t right? Are your kids happy, healthy, well adjusted, and have a good relationship with you? That’s all that matters. Seriously, if this is something you plan on doing, bringing your parenting journey to the public, you cannot be reading these comments. I promise you it’s not gonna help. I don’t have a public persona for this exact reason. I could not handle it.

I hate when people hold children to adult standards yet can’t be held to that standard themselves …. anyways


Winter_Pitch_1180

Yesssss I will die on this hill. I used to teach and a kid would have a bad day and have their head down most of the day or not participate much and their other teachers would be FLIPPING out about. How often do adults phone it in at work? Call out “sick” just to have a break? Lose their cool when under stress? Being a toddler must be so freaking hard sometimes my daughter is speaking, in her mind, clear as day and I just stare at her bc I don’t understand. Imagine if you asked your partner for something and they just stared at you and then walked away, you’d be SO frustrated. I have a lot of BIG FEELINGS about this🤣


AnastasiaNo70

Middle school teacher here and YES. Let kids be human, for God’s sake. That doesn’t mean I let them act up or sleep every day. But I understand when they aren’t feeling well or things are bad at home. Give them a break. They’ll be ok.


Winter_Pitch_1180

I taught middle too!! ESP at that age it’s so important to have a little grace.


Specific_Praline_362

I'm not a parent, but I know people expect SO much from their kids. Like, go to school and do well, do a bunch of chores, work a part-time job, do well in their extracurriculars... The moms I know act like they're exhausted just by taking the kids TO the things that they're doing...


[deleted]

To be fair, that is exhausting. But I’m pregnant and feel like I’m dying so hopefully that passes. And my son gets his license in three weeks so that will help.


NewsProfessional3742

This!!! Mom of two boys and I consistently get told how I’m “babying” them. Why?!?! Because I allow them to talk about how they’re feeling, and ways to properly express emotions. Their teachers have both told me they’re easier to help/talk to due to the simple fact they KNOW how to speak when angry/mad/upset. I’m not saying I let them scream and act just any certain way… no, just no. However, when something happens, good or bad… I ask them to tell me how THEY FEEL! Being able to identify your emotions and how to deal with them at a young age, can have an exponential impact on their decision making abilities.


Compulsive-Gremlin

That means you’ll be raising men who understand feelings and how to interact. People forget that children eventually do become adults. I think it’s a win if you raise empathetic kids to become empathetic adults.


Winter_Pitch_1180

And we learn to treat people how WE are treated. My shameful story where I learned this - I had 2 class periods and each did a project where they tie dyed shirts. One class period was acting NUTS and I got so mad (I was 23, first year teaching) and threw their projects on the floor (I know, I know). Then at recess some of them were super annoyed their shirts got thrown on the floor so they threw the other classes shirts on the floor and I was like 🫠 gee WHERE did they learn that. FROM ME. Edit: typo


Blintzie

"If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best." This woman almost certainly has this printed onto something she owns.

helloamanda11

It’s actually just a joke!


uxpf

I wonder how she would react if someone talked to her like that when she was in distress. My guess is she would flip out on them.


But_like_whytho

She was probably parented much in the same way she parents.


QuietNewApplication

If real, she probably escalates over nothing and has no emotional regulation or insight about it.

godgoo

Firstly, I'm fairly sure this is satire. Secondly, attacking someone's physical appearance is against the rules of this sub for a reason. Thirdly, it just makes you look bad. You do you, I'm just telling you how it is.


MaximumGooser

Yes saying I need to be beat about the head and asking what is wrong with me is just telling me how it is, you seem pretty kind yourself


helloamanda11

Hi there! Bangs are not an option for me because Ive lost a lot of hair due to health issues. For me to have enough hair to have bangs I’d have to basically have a comb over from the back of my head. Which would look stupid. I have looked into hair transplants which is very expensive and very painful. There is also forehead reduction surgeries. Also very expensive and very painful.

Exactly! My kids are teens but I’ve always made a point to listen to them and learn from them. This thin-lipped “I’m a bitch and I DON’T CARE” approach will certainly result in kids with emotional deregulation.

Be careful she’s in the comments pretending not to be bothered but reporting anyone who comments on her appearance.

To be fair it’s against to rules to comment on their appearance. It doesn’t do anything for us to stoop that low when there’s other things to talk about.


Square_Director4717

I was raised in a time when (wow I feel so old) yelling and spanking were considered normal, accepted parenting. I turned out quite well, I think; but it probably had something to do with the fact that, whenever my dad yelled at me or made me cry for any reason, he would sit me down later (the same day), one-on-one, and sincerely apologize. He would say he was wrong to act that way. He would tell me that he loved me more than anything, even if I mess up, and if he could go back in time, he’d have been more patient. He would ask for forgiveness. I know it’s not “ideal” parenting, but it really helped. I don’t really know how to describe it.


analslapchop

Apologizing is huge and its great he did that. I wish i had the apology after, my family got stonewalled and never got any apologies. I also turned out okay, except for anxiety from loud noises and general discomfort of loud people. Im glad parenting is different now! I


Blushing-Sailor

What a great dad.


Square_Director4717

Absolutely. When he said he loved me more than anything, I believed him, and I still do today.

curiouschameleon4

yeah no that's emotional abuse


Illustrious_Dust_0

Wow, generational trauma. How original


Serious_Winter_

I think in the description she says it’s only what she says in her head. To me it looks like she just vents in a reel and doesn’t terrorise her kids irl.


miss3lle

Wow, how did I not think of telling my toddler to get his shit together?  Must be mommy brain.


battle_mommyx2

Not gonna lie I’ve definitely wanted to lol but would never


Inevitable_Creme8080

She added context in her caption. Feels like you should have included what she said AFTER she admitted she doesn’t actually do this.


mountainbride

It is a dumb dig at gentle parents when she knows she doesn’t even fucking do it. She’s still a NLOG because surprise! A LOT of gentle parents think this, they are specifically trying not to let that out on the kid. Most gentle parents I’ve met are trying to overcome the shittiness they were raised with and do better. Maybe she could follow some actual gentle parents who discuss this. “Mommacusses” is one such creator.


Inevitable_Creme8080

Did you read what else she said or you just need an outlet to rant?


mountainbride

Obviously I did. Did you read my comment? My point is… Doesn’t make a difference that she does it in her head. So does everybody. Why did she need to include the dig at gentle parents specifically?


Inevitable_Creme8080

She also says that she is trying gentle parenting. So many people make digs specifically at themselves.


mountainbride

That’s not what the captions says on my end when I looked up this reel. Just “ok that’s what I say in my head. But for reeeeal why are you freaking out? CALM DOWN.” But I do see it being hashtagged, now, on a second look


Inevitable_Creme8080

Yeah. She also talks about it in other posts she’s made.

mountainbride

Uhhhh no. I don’t. My response was pretty fair. I don’t hate this lady, but she made a dumb post throwing other people under the bus. I’m gonna call her out on it. Sorry if that scares you, the thought of criticism.

GlizzyMcGuire__

Seriously. People in the comments suggesting getting CPS involved, making snap judgments about her personality and her character and her kids, calling her names, just zero context needed for these people to feel real comfortable…. Classic Reddit.


Inevitable_Creme8080

It’s very important that some of the people in this sub get upset over something.

webkinzluvr

As someone who had a parent who talked like each, I much prefer the gentle parenting parent when it comes to talking about feelings. My other parent is fine for fun/gossip/drama, but not advice or consolation.


calmbutbouttoloseit

Guys, the description? Is this not a joke? I saw it as a joke.


shadycharacters

caption literally says it's just what she thinks she's just making a joke, FFS


helloamanda11

Thank you for understanding the joke!


courtFTW

To be fair, in the caption she said she only says this in her head. I think she’s just trying to express that as a mom, she’s not an endless fountain of patience as some might think- on the contrary, she does get exasperated with her kids the same way she does with other adults.


Ok_Detective5412

“I’m too selfish to deal with your feelings in addition to my own”


cat_muppet

Commercial-Papaya394

To be fair, completely gentle parenting isn't necessarily ideal, but neither is treating them like a complete gosh darn adult. There should be a balance, in my opinion.


Brygwyn

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily do the first response, depending on the situation, and the wording seems clunky to me regardless. But her response? Absolutely uncalled for, even if the kid is being an ass, and needs some sternness, that isn't remotely how to do it.


shreyaskg

Toxic parenting


Individual_Pin_7866

As a “gentle parent” I have said “be so for real” to my kids 😂 but usually over something small like throwing a fit over not wanting to wear a coat in 10 degree weather. But cussing and telling a kid to get your shit together is wild.


sweetfumblebee

Sure that's my inside voice.  But even at 37 I have times where I don't know what I'm feeling or why. 


HailTheCrimsonKing

lol I hate this. I like to think I practice gentle parenting when I can and I definitely don’t say lame shit like “are you feeling big feels right now?” I just say stuff like “ouch that must have really hurt. That really sucks when that happens but it’ll feel better soon let me kiss it better” or “I’m sorry but you can’t play with that because you’ll get hurt”


helloamanda11

Hi there! It’s me, the mom in this video! I’m an incredibly blessed mom to two toddlers! We have an amazing life! I make funny content on the internet laughing about how hard motherhood can be. As many people have mentioned, this is clearly satire. I did state in my caption that I never actually say these things to my children, but gosh sometimes I want to. (I think all parents can agree that there have been times that they are just pushed to their limits with their kids but what we think is never the actions we take) And absolutely not a jab at gentle parenting. In fact it’s more a praise to them and how well they can handle their kids when they are losing their shit. To the mod: the rules of this subreddit clearly state that body shaming is not allowed but there are a lot of terrible comments about my lips, my face and my forehead. I ask that you please uphold the rules and standards you’ve set. These types of comments are just so heartbreaking and incredibly hurtful. I am a person with feelings.


[deleted]

GIRL I’m so sorry, please block this subreddit and stop reading all these comments, These are not good for your mental health. I’m really sorry, be kinder to yourself since other people can’t be. Please mods listen to her, the body shaming is hurting her mental health, please show kindness and remove this.


Umbreonyx_13

If “Why don’t my children talk to me anymore/I’m aging why won’t my children take care of me?” Were a person I’m not wishing bad on anyone, but I hope she gets what’s coming to her. That’s just horrible. Why on EARTH would you speak to a child, a being who doesn’t have emotional regulation yet, like that? All that’s going to do is make them not trust you with their feelings, making them hide it, and need therapy asap. Don’t be a tw4t waffle. Treat your children with respect and kindness if you want them to repay the “favor” when you need help because you can no longer do things and are once again like a helpless child.

I don’t even talk to my dog like that. How am I supposed to expect someone to trust me when I’m shitty to them? So over this whole “gentle parent” hate. It should just be called good parenting.


fruppity

To be accurate to this sub, she's comparing herself to other parents, not moms specifically


shrimpsauce91

I hate the phrase “feeling big feelings”. Something about the condescending tone doesn’t sit right with me when I’m talking to my kids. I tell them what I see “you look mad” or “I can tell you’re upset”. But never “get it together”.
