All smoke and mirrors with SS. Imagine if a family in less fortunate circumstances didn’t bathe or have a bedtime routine and let older (one not even a pre teen though ) children live at the bottom of the garden
She’s an adequate parent but as someone who was a single parent from when mine were toddlers she’s a selfish parent as it’s all about her. I get it’s her source of income but that’s her choice the kids can’t say hold on I’m going to get bullied at school or feel like have zero privacy.
I have to be honest, I really struggle with the way Stacey blindly posts just about everything on Instagram, seemingly without any thought for the consequences for her, but more importantly her children.
I don’t know if it’s ignorance, the fact she’s oblivious to the situations or at least the potential for situations that could arise, or actually arrogance on her part that means she feels a) everyone is interested and wants to know the tiniest minutiae occurring in the bizarre world she inhabits and b) that announcing nearly everything that happens in her life to the world, complete with videos and/or photos wouldn’t ever be problematic, again not just for her but for the older boys especially!
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t know that, whilst the majority of parents do put their kids first, some don’t, but what I find so troubling about Stacey is that she seems to have no filter or boundaries of what is considered appropriate, or conversely, inappropriate to post on the ‘gram, literally for anyone to be able to see. Most parents I know, especially given the age we live in, wouldn’t dream of arbitrarily posting photos or stories about their children without asking their consent first, if at all and should the child/ren not be of an age to give or understand consent, then give it even more careful consideration. They also wouldn’t post anything that might cause their children embarrassment or upset by proxy either, so carefully manage what is available online about themselves too. To me that’s just what being a responsible parent is; it’s putting your child first.
I’m not commenting on whether Stacey loves her children as I’m sure in her own way she does, but I do however wonder how much she considers them, if at all, when she puts videos and photos online of, what I consider at least, very personal and intimate family moments. I agree with what has already been said in that it seems a very selfish way of parenting and it’s more about what her children can do for her, than what she can do for her children, on Instagram at least. I just wonder if her posting habits will change any now she’s got a daughter?
