So many do it though and it makes me so cross. They try to justify being a YouTuber/instagramer by saying it allows them to be a "stay at home mum". Fine. But they put their kids to work every bloody day by featuring them on instagram ads or vlogs. And some even have the gall to call themselves working mummys. Since when did doing shitty haul videos and taking a photo of your kid chewing a vitamin gummy constitute working. Its insulting to mothers who WORK regular jobs, some of us working mothers are out in the elements, wind, rain, snow. Some of us are nurses, doctors, bus drivers, check out staff, posties, cleaners.
I would never exploit my child for any freebie, nor put them to work just because its far more convenient to set up a camera and make money from affiliate links. My child should never have to provide for me or for themselves. Its my job to provide for them and protect them from weirdos.
