Posting a photo of your child in a car seat on social media often invites scrutiny, especially from those eager to critique parenting choices. Now, consider the pressure on Kimmy L., who has millions of followers weighing in on her every decision. Recently, she shared an endearing image of her daughter Ava in a car seat, and suddenly, the online “concern trolls” came out in full force to point out what they perceived as mistakes.
In the adorable picture, Ava is enjoying a ride alongside a friend. On the surface, it looks harmless, but according to many commenters, there were glaring issues. If you don’t see the problem, these critics imply, you must not be fit for parenthood.
Feedback from the Post
Here’s a look at some of the feedback from her post. Some commenters seem convinced that their advice will lead Kimmy to amend her ways. Meanwhile, I can’t help but roll my eyes at the excessive concern:
- “It’d be wonderful if they secured their kids properly.”
- “The safety guidelines are clear. A quick Google search would help.”
- “I hope you weren’t driving with them like that.”
- “The fact that people can’t see the issue with that car seat strap is alarming.”
- “Cute kids, but please fix those straps! An accident can happen anytime!” #safetyfirst
- “Straps are far too loose and the chest clip is way out of position. This is serious, Kim. It’s your child’s safety at stake.”
- “Has no one taught you about car seat safety?”
- “I’m not a parent, but shouldn’t the seats be facing the other way?”
- “Come on, fix those straps!”
This is just a small sample of the many “helpful” comments flooding in. While some responses may come from genuinely concerned parents, one has to wonder if they really believe Kimmy and her partner are reading their advice. And let’s be honest, is the photo really that problematic? Sure, the chest clip may have slipped a bit, but kids often adjust their straps for comfort. I can relate, as my own children did the very same thing.
No one is disputing the importance of car seat safety, but the level of concern trolling directed at parents has escalated. Social media allows parents to share intimate family moments that once remained private, prompting unsolicited feedback from the masses. While a well-meaning comment could potentially save a life, it can also strain relationships. Unless a child is in obvious danger, maybe we should hold back from pointing out minor infractions like a slightly misplaced chest clip. Just because it’s online doesn’t mean it warrants a comment. We already face enough judgment in everyday life. A little kindness could go a long way, even for public figures like Kimmy L.
