That second pic. They are such an appalling pair. There is a great comment from a very (brave) therapist.Anyone really uncomfortable with FOD posting the picture of Ottilie on the naughty chair? A few comments saying it’s bad but loads of people saying how funny it is. I wouldn’t post a photo of my child unhappy for stranger’s amusement. Never posted on here before but it really disgusted me. Especially when you zoom in on the mirror and see him taking the photo while MOD looks on. It’s so dysfunctional.
Assuming she is a therapist ( you can’t believe all one reads online, I’m hoping she is) the way she’s been dismissed by the oD’s fans is quite breathtaking .That second pic. They are such an appalling pair. There is a great comment from a very (brave) therapist.
Excellent comment by the therapist. MOD seems to be contradicting FOD’s post, to defend herself, by suggesting she rarely uses this method of punishment. There are arguments for and against use of a ‘time out’ place, however what is unquestionably unacceptable is taking and then sharing a photo of a toddler you have caused distress to with 1m random followers on the internet.They are such an appalling pair.

I saw that post before spotting the #AD. My first thought was what strange poolside attire, my second was to question where his socks are, and my third was an observation that his trainers need a wash. If I was Superga I would want my money back for that effort.Omg of course the holiday couldn’t possibly have gone by ad free! Won’t allow me to attach a screenshot but Simon is sat by the pool loving life and it’s a bloody ad for Superga!!! NOTHING IS SACRED!!
Problem with this argument Clemmie, is that your husband posted it for likes and amusement to one million people.He's deleted it.. this is what MOD replied to the psychologist just before it disappeared.
Imagine if someone tried to claim MOD shouldn't give midwifery/birthing advice? Her entire social media presence and selling point is built on that!!
MOD standing there in the mirror knowing FOD was taking a photo to upload and humiliate their child to hundreds of thousands of people is disgusting, after all her assurances that she wouldn't do it anymore. Horrible people.

I’ve just unfollowed someone , they posted stories of their very young , distressed children in the bath. I commented ; saying it was uncomfortable viewing and unnecessary.He deleted it as I was reading the comment from the therapist!
I do think different approaches work for different children but if you put your parenting on the internet you have got to expect opinions - especially polite ones from people who know what they are talking about! And I’d never put a photo of my upset child on the internet.
Just when you think they can’t get worse , they do, realise they’ve got it wrong and delete and pretend it never happened.He's deleted it.. this is what MOD replied to the psychologist just before it disappeared.

Those kids are living in the Truman Show. I can’t see how they can fail to grow up not affected by all of this. Totally confusing messages - we are going to give you time out because you’ve misbehaved, but then we are going to give you lots of attention by taking pictures of you and sharing them with thousands of strangers. I find it so wrong. But what do I know? So many people think they’re the bees-knees
Yes I am, very much. Especially when I immediately spotted both MOD and FOD in the mirror, looking as if they were taking/discussing the photo. Taking the photo is one thing, when my boys were little I am sure I have taken photos of meltdowns etc (mind you this was analogue and no social to post to) but they were for ME. As a future memory for ME (and their dad of course) to look back on and reminisce. And I am equally sure I must have DISCUSSED these meltdowns etc with others, you know, friends, family. But not with the entire world. If they feel they want to discuss child rearing and its ups and downs, can't they do that without showing these images of their own private moments?Anyone really uncomfortable with FOD posting the picture of Ottilie on the naughty chair?

Really well said. MoD/FoD are sufficiently thin-skinned that they threaten legal action to people who call out their bullying, humiliating behaviour and only operate in an echo chamber. Hopefully advertisers will come to see this as a turn off for normal people who don't subscribe to "reality" norms.Yes I am, very much.

And another thing: I was very tempted to chime in when I read the response of the child therapist. Not to voice my opinion on time-outs but on the whole fact they deliberately took that photo and then posted it. But I got scared seeing as that poor therapist was the only one at that point voicing her concern and opinion and the backlash she got. How sad is that, that I chickened out? So maybe that is what I should be telling MOD and FOD: if I feel that way, afraid to comment if it is the unpopular one, then surely there must be more people like me. And ask them if that is not something to think about, for them?
