I’m currently on maternity leave and I considered starting a tiktok while on leave, I guess because I’ve seen so many people do it and you see women start making money and not have to go back to work etc, but then I attempted filming and I thought… this is really weird, I don’t want to do this, im also not being funny but it isn’t remotely interesting why would anyone wanna watch it? Which got me thinking why am I watching other people live their boring lives!? I don’t want my son plastered all over social media either, how weird. I take videos of me and my son for my own viewing and memories and that’s it. I’m not making money off my child. There’s been research that shows that people who film and take photos for the purpose of external people viewing it enjoy the experience less as well which totally makes sense, how can you enjoy your time when you’re constantly thinking of all the angles you need to get of yourself in the kitchen.. also, imagine meeting other mums at the school gate and having to tell them you make content of your and your kids and post it online, how embarassing? Anyway I deleted tiktok instead, feel SO much better.
