I unfortunately can relate to this but in the other direction, my experience was one of both extreme overbearing control and paradoxically escalating neglect. My takeaway is, at least from my own experiences that you do not want to be the last child of your parent/parents. You will be both collared like a dog and completely neglected.

"Being naked" and "with daughter" are two things that should never be put in the same sentence.

[@katiklein-j2m]

Unless it’s a sentence along the lines of, “I cannot even begin to imagine being naked with my adult daughter like a psycho.”

[@Ombby]

I'd say it depends on the context and culture (like Finland where families going to a sauna is normal). I don't really mind if my mom sees me naked, but the way these people talk about it is SO icky...

[@zammmerjammer]

I'm 1000 years old and remember when TLC was in fact "The Learning Channel." Then when I was in like junior high, they had this little fluffy show called "A Wedding Story" that would air at noon on weekdays. It was just 30 minutes of a couple prepping for their wedding and then walking down the aisle. It was kind of a hit for this little, rather obscure channel. So then they followed it up with "A Baby Story" -- same formula but with a couple preparing for and then welcoming their (usually first) child. That was a hit too. Then came "A Dating Story" -- that one was much messier and less wholesome and happy. But so much more DRA-MA! I think you can imagine for yourself how this trajectory has led to where TLC is today.

[@hofiboy4499]

If a man would do some of that stuff with his son, he'd be the "headline-offender" for the next 2 weeks and put to jail It's really weird that "Mom is touching her daughters intime parts. Of course they both consented" Is suddenly acceptable, but when you replace "Mom" with "Dad" there will be outcry. In both cases this shouldnt just be accepted, because it raises the question on when this all started. I dont think the kid just turned 18 and suddenly wanted to do that. This probably started when the kids were young, dumb and "shapeable".

[@bunnylacy2097]

I think most people who saw this video are upset by it even with it being women…. So this was probably an unnecessary comment. We know this is disgusting regardless of the gender participating. TLC knew this was disgusting too. They just don’t care, will do anything for views, and cater to an audience who either can’t stop watching a train wreck occur or have extremely gross and predatory fetishes and get their fix with these shows.

[@seacrystal6189]

Unfortunately, that's usually not the case. Cases of incest are often brushed under the rug under the guise of the parent being "overprotective" or "caring too much" or being "too loving" no matter if the abuser is the mother or the father

[@Savantics]

Thank you so much! :D. This means a lot to me. I'm surprised I didn't seem too awkward aha cause it's been such an adjustment I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing with this whole thing. But yes, once again thank you so much for the gift!!

[@fartrulz4854]

@@Savantics all good. Keep up the good work

[@kittykatbeans]

That sweater is really cute !! Found your vid in my suggestions, nice video!!

[@Savantics]

Thank you!

[@vt_973]

being on-camera has given you the chance to play around with creative editing, i feel, and it's really bumped up the cinematography! you have good instincts for the dramatic zoom and such for peak comedy XD we need to destroy the learning channel

[@B_is_dumb]

The fact that she didnt even win mss Connecticut and cried about on tiktok, is crazy

[@michaelchristy506]

I just wanna say for the record that your genuinely and unironically, absolutely beautiful and you shouldn’t be insecure about your face, we all support you ❤️

[@briannem.6787]

This isn't just people embarassing themselves on national TV. It's international TV. I'm in australia and my mother watches TLC, and she has seen this show (and no, she wasn't trying to take inspiration from it, at least I hope not)

[@enskunbansku2622]

After this video I'm even more thankful about the relationship between me and my mom, which is healthy, not even close to the ones in that tv show. And who on the earth uses BREAST MILK for facials?!

[@shmackydoodRon]

This is TLC acknowledging that women get a pass on creepy behavior. Don’t believe me? Where are the consequences?

[@karla401]

This is the reason why I moved out in different town. Even my psihiatryst thought she was to close to me and couldnt listen no without crying. It started at 5, so it feels so normal to us kids. People around me astonished when I tell them about our relationship and I saw nothing wrong till 25.

[@o.o6340]

i remember being forced to watch this show back to back when i was in the hospital and i dropped the remote

[@greatmouse9420]

Terrifying

[@karastarayu]

Now that her face is revealed people can say "BACKKK IN MYYYY DAYYYYY Savantics had a pngtuber instead of a face!"

[@luigioafn955]

The first line blew my mind into 1 million shards of AGONY

[@SulfiricAcid-bx2cw]

Ive been a fan of ur channel for quite a while, I think ur commentary is just the right length of time, u don’t yap and yap but u get straight to the point and still describe everything pretty well. Love ur channel (also ur genuinely so pretty too)

[@SarutaValentine]

I feel uniquely qualified to talk about this because my mother was the same. It does not start in adulthood. In fact, mine went back as far as I can remember. Without using words that KZbin would ban, I will say that relationships like this start out with the mom as a predator and the child growing up not knowing anything different. By the time adulthood is reached that enmeshment is so deep that the daughter may never see it without help. I know I needed help to see it

[@armythecat]

I see you are really making good use of the facecam era of the channel, the chaotic energy went up by 120% and I adore it

[@Michael-y9o5g]

Oh my god, AI has made Savantic's avatar creepypasta-style'd hyper realistic!!! And it's sentient! And... OH NO, SHE'S HOOOOOT!!! For real, tho, keep it up Savantics! Always enjoy your glorious snark!

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

I... Didn't even realize this was Savantics until you said that.

[@charlosei8152]

I hope to the father, the son, and the holy spirit that one day, some day TLC goes bankrupt and gets taken off of cable. This channel and reality tv is what I consider the ultimate sin against television.

[@zongalon7365]

Haven't even fully watched the video yet, just wanna say you're my favorite commentary youtuber, tied with penguinz0 and someOrdinaryGamers. The holy trinity of commentary, although no clip shown in this video is holy. My brain would've rotted if it wasn't for your commentary, so my brain says thank you. Love your vids

[@YourLoyalHighness87]

0:11 omg. Who knew I could be so full of cringe in just ten seconds!? Naked with your daughter? Like why? I mean I haven’t had a mom in my life so I prob don’t have the best idea of a mom to compare it to, but just basic knowledge, instinct… you know this ain’t right

[@rex_ink]

1:19 I'm too tired to actually watch and pay attention to the video (im an eepy boy), but GOD that is SUCH a comment Its like The aliens were frequently checking in on us, saw this show, and went 'okay, lets just... stop"

[@SickoPsycho]

As someone with boundary issues, nothing regarding my family, (thank Godess) id be terrified and im so sorry for these women, first woman is being assaulted and its being filmed, my nightmare.

[@whatever_hi_in_spanish_is]

1:44 That is INSANlLY nasty. Lowkey made me spit out my hot pocket

[@d4mb20]

I thought it wasn't going to change much, but now the vids feel more "engaging/human", doing the big step and putting your face on it really improved the quality of the channel, nice call

[@child_claus]

ex-CUSE me?!? We gotta have a petition to get rid of this 😤😤

[@CaptainCat101]

"Being Naked With My Daughter" is a phrase I never want to hear ever again

[@gl1tchygreml1n]

"People are jealous of your bond" No, I'm pretty sure that I'm not jealous, I'm glad my mom and I aren't in an incestuous relationship

[@edalthjohnson]

Have always liked your videos but you actually being there and having real reactions is seriously so much better. I know you’ve probably been worried about this video, but it’s honestly probably my favorite now. 😊

[@PurpleDragon-nw7vn]

Thankyou for talking about this, it is disgusting how common this stuff really is. My mother is a pervert and touched me sexualy until I ran away and went no contact, ive met many other young women with similar stories.

[@natalie-723]

I've met Christina (she's also on the show but her and her mom's relationship is much healthier) and she said the producers asked her to take a shower with her mom and to film her mom and her husband in bed together. They said no to both of those suggestions and the next season you see another mom and daughter in the shower together. I really think this is just a matter of what these people are willing to do on camera and less about their actual relationships.

[@Ilyaisaweeb]

This is an insanely underrated channel, you need more subs! Love from Iran 🇮🇷

[@trishtrish41]

My mother is very much like these mothers. One minute she would abuse me on every single level then in the next she oils down weird things like this. It was grooming. When I was a little older, she would leave me with random men while she went to collect her fix. I feel like it was a way to make what these men would do, feel normal. I don’t have a relationship with my mother and haven’t in over a decade for these very reasons. The mother daughter duo that really makes me sick is the pair is Mary and Brittany. Ugh

[@Sigh-Clops]

Why did I get Danny Gonzales vibes from the thumbnail

[@fabiolareyes6957]

Been following your channel for some years as background noise and BOY I wasn't prepared for such beauty.

[@Bb-bg8gf]

Those poor girls (now women) don't even seem to notice how unhealthy their relationships with their mothers are

[@coolchameleon21]

yeah i have a very enmeshed relationship with my mom, and i had no idea that any of it was abnormal until a few years ago. when you grow up with it and don’t know anything else, you just think it’s normal

[@alyce6217]

My mom was Miss Teenage St Louis, and went on to be Miss Teenage America 1968. So what, who cares? Take the memorabilia and stick it in a box -is what I’d tell that woman’s mom to do! That’s where my mom’s stuff was, and after she died it’s mostly all still in those same boxes and in the closet. This stuff in that show is sick. TLC used to be decent, decades ago!

[@rittytoonz2022]

i don't even want to imagine edp having his own tlc show 💀 💀💀

[@SecretMagician]

Imagine this, EDP's Cupcake Spectacular, coming to TLC on August 1.

[@EngineerMonkeyBTD6]

They would do it, you know they would.

[@almost_raymond]

imagine having your abuse broadcast on national tv and portrayed in a positive light. holy shit
