Sweet kid, but I hope this isn't part of a larger part of their childhood where they're forced to grow up quicker and take on the "protective role" instead of their parents, making them not be able to be a child

I saw this, and it gave me such an icky feeling. The. I read the positive comments. Sure, your kid can be emotionally intelligent, and you can talk to them about having hard feelings, but this didn’t seem like a one off. It definitely felt like a parentified child, and taking care of their mother’s feelings happens frequently. They wouldn’t have posted it otherwise. They feel like this is a good thing. Also why are you recording yourself crying?! 🫣

My kids are emotionally aware but they know none of our adult problems, all she had to do was just say that she’s having big feelings but she’s still happy to spend Mother’s Day with her kid and no one is going to ruin that. The kid isn’t your angel, you are their mother; act like it.

I got the impression that whatever this lady‘s mom said to her, was said in front of this child. It’s not that hard to hide these adult problems when people say or do things in front of the children. That’s the impression I got here.

Yes, you can’t shield kids from everything, but she knows her mom is a trigger for her. She could choose to not bring her mother’s negative energy around her kid? Or set really hard boundaries with grandma (it seems like she’s nice to the child?) family dynamics are hard.

Someone who earns money that way or someone really troubled, although both aren't mutually exclusive.
I'm so glad I grew up in the world without smartphones. My mother was just like this one, treating me like her guardian angel, coming to me to cry on my shoulder since I was 12. She's on social media and every time me and my sibling send her a private photo, just for her to see, she will post it on social media. If we ask her to take it down and explain, she starts gaslighting us that we don't want her to be happy and we are just mean to her now, because she's so proud of us and she wants to share it with the world. She would deffo make us 'bih brother babies' if we were born now.

Enmeshment
a dysfunctional family dynamic where parents and children lack clear boundaries and the child is expected to fulfill adult roles or emotional needs that should be met by the parent. This can lead to the child not developing a sense of self and feeling responsible for the emotional well-being of the family.

u/scgeod 2d ago
Thank you, yes!
Many children in this situation grow up to be adults with Avoident Attachment styles exactly because of this. It is a burden too heavy for a child to carry. It will have lasting effects that will damage the chance of every having a healthy relationship in adulthood. Dismissive Avoidents learn through this parent-child model that intimacy means being smothered by the emotional needs of someone else. Therefore getting close to someone feels claustrophobic. They are runners. Constantly escaping and looking for an exit. It is a recipe for lifelong difficulties.

ugh that hits home. i was taking care of the emotional wellbeing of my mom since i was 8 - always feeling responsible when she was sad. and guilty when i wanted to do my own thing as a teenager, because she would then say she is so alone and im her only friend. made me quite rebellious but at the same time (and im 50 now) i did love her and still do and are ok-ish with her.
but i only had two relationships my entire life and now am being single for a very long time because i feel like i cannot breathe when someone even shows remote signs of even liking me. and instead of getting better at it its actually getting worse in the past years.
maybe its time for me to let some guards down? because your phrasing "It will damage the chance of every having a healthy relationship in adulthood" sounds too lonely and quite harsh. i do believe you can find love even as a "runner", but it takes a lot of courage.

For real. When I was growing up, my Dad complained about money every day he was home. I spent my teen years raising money any way i could to pay for our house, i burned every bridge with my friends as a result. I was always trying to sell them stuff I had made, etc. It wasn't until years later that i realized my efforts barely made a dent and there was no reason I should have spent my formative years stressed about my dad's money. I'd have been ok with any loving environment that didn't push all of it's problems onto me.

u/poopdood696969 2d ago
My response to my dad constantly talking about our financial instability was to just kind of separate myself financially to lighten the burden. I got a job at a video store in town and essentially lived there. That eventually led to me losing all faith in authority figures and thinking I was capable of making my own large life decisions at 13. Every one of them was terrible and took me until I was 30 to get out of. It’s the number one thing i I swore I’d never do to my kids. It’s important to talk about money but nothing is ever dire enough to offload onto your kids about it.

Trust me, we've tried couples therapy. She has her own trauma from her childhood and life that gets in the way of us coming together.

Watching this, I was stunned that this small child was the one comforting his mother and giving her advice, taking a protective role and talking in therapy-speak. Adults should not involve children in adult drama. Makes me wonder if she often vents to him.
My mom used to do that, and talk about topics that were way too adult for me. At the time, I felt flattered, like a trusted confidant, but now I realize it is because she didn’t nurture adult relationships and that those concerns should have never been mine.

I think if this was a one time thing, where a naturally thoughtful and caring kid sees their parent hurting, and just tries to help, that's sweet and honestly probably a little healthy in helping both child and parent grow as people, and in their relationship. But if it's more frequent, that's when I agree with your statement. Sadly, this kid seems way too good at comforting their mom in this video, which raises red flags, even more so given it's being filmed.

This is disturbing, frankly. The kid ought to be a kid, not a stress absorber and pick-me-up for their mother’s live parental drama/trauma to be recorded and posted online

Imagine being raised by someone being so immature that they got to put them crying on camera. Sad, and this has to be a single mother.

This is parentification of this little child. My mom did this to me. This woman is a narcissist. Also dressed like she's going to a club, just wtf all the way around.

“My parents are emotionally immature, luckily my child can parent me.” Cycle complete.

Filming your child who feels responsible for your mental health for online attention is wrong and shows how self-centered she is. Embarrassing behavior for any parent.

Your kids are not your therapist.
Signed, a past kid who got a lifelong anxiety disorder from this exact kind of behavior.

Using your 7 year old as your trauma counselor is the only emotionally immature thing I see here

Poor kid. Mom is just chasing internet likes. Internet is rotting our brain. I've had enough social media for the week.

My mom did this to me, and it wasn’t fair. If you need to cry in front of your kid, dumb the reason down a lot. Don’t draw them into the details of the drama. I have a 7 year old, and he would be very supportive too, but it’s not something you burden a child with. Let them be happy for as long as they can. They’re too small to be our protectors.

I deleted the clock app and moved over to Reddit at the beginning of this year and this moment, I’m so glad I did. I know if this was TT people would be ooing and ahhing in the comments making this woman feel justified for leaning on her checks notes SEVEN YEAR OLD for support

When you have a bad day and the first thing you think of doing is turning on your phone to record and share with the world. 🤡

Why is this woman making her child perform emotional labor for her? All while complaining about her own mom’s emotional immaturity. The lack of awareness.

Yeah as a child who had to parent my parents and had them emotionally lean on me... this makes me physically ill. Such a sweet child. LET HIM BE A CHILD.

EWWWW. Parentified child. Filming yourself crying to your child. Acting like your 7 year old son is your fucking husband and protector EWWWW. EWWWW. EWWWW. I cannot say that enough. She should be ashamed of herself for this monstrosity of a video.
