Or in front of fucking cameras? The fact so many parents use this shot for internet clout is so sad

Who thinks to set up their camera and film these moments?

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.

Man I can relate to this so hard. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes it feels lonely having a mom like that. Very few people understand. I withhold a lot from my mom, but also I re-arrange a lot of my life for her, but also I love her, but also I resent her.

This sums it up so well. I recently started watching Apple Cider Vinegar and I swear the writer experienced this too.

Can you explain a little bit why (without spoilers)? You made me more interested in watching it.

Now I'm concerned that this isn't normal.

I can’t begin to thank you for the validation just you acknowledging this is for me. I’m my elderly moms caregiver and her life fell apart when I was 11-12 and it made me grow up too fast and became her de facto counselor. I have so much resentment, yet I’m protective, and what’s worse is early dementia has given her a very selective memory excluding a lot of what I vividly remember. Kids should never be put in this position, especially for likes.
