Have you noticed that American breakfast is sometimes just dessert disguised as a healthy meal? Your appearance has a lot of influence on how people perceive you on social media. Two parents doing the same thing will have different reactions from the audience. You can see pretty and rich privilege in action when looking at TikToks featuring moms feeding their kids donuts. There’s been a rise of influencers with beautiful aesthetic lifestyles that have given us unrealistic expectations of parents. Especially with the rise of overconsumption and the popularity of fridge restocking content. You’re Not a Bad Parent - You Look Poor #edvasian

[@Edvasian]

"Edvasian looks imbecilic in new video!" - Pop Crave 2024 So I accidentally used music that got copyrighted and had to sub in a different song. Some of the audio got cut out so here's captions for what I said: 4:28 "...beautiful curated lobotomy core content like this?" 4:58 "...realistically, no"

[@docryujivt]

How did someone misspell handsome so badly? Imbecilic looks nothing like handsome.

[@DarkEbullition]

I'm sorry, but you sadly have no idea what you are talking about. Sucks that the American influence has damaged you this badly. There is a huge difference between feeding your toddler only junk food and giving your kids a few sweets every once in a while. And really? Who cares if those weird "aetheics Moms" are fancy? At least their kids won't be rolling around, trying to catch diabetes. It's not about judgment, it's about stopping uneducated folks, like the Donut Mom, who seems to think that it's okay to give literal garbage to their kids.

She's not posting videos of her kids herself so shes already 1000% better than so many ~aesthetic~ mommy influencers. Also let people be "ugly" online, I'm dead serious about this.

[@M0bZ0Mb13]

I don't disagree about the posting kids online thing but I 100% disagree with everything else! It's not about her being "not atheistically pleasing." The fact is that according to the FDA a child CANNOT HAVE processed sugar until at THE VERY LEAST the age of two years old, and it is highly recommended to wait until they are THREE YEARS OLD before introducing ANY processed sugar or heavily processed foods into their diet. This should be no way shape or form be considered "more realistic" or "normal!" It's not about "food shaming" or "overcriticizeing parenting choices," people need to realize this isn't normal, or at the very least shouldn't be! This mother is just spoiling her kids rotten while neglecting their actual needs which seems to be a big trend in today's society with all these ipad babies and it's completely heartbreaking. And for all the people saying that it's "more realistic" because normal people don't have the money or time to make a pp&j from scratch, your point is not valid. Donuts aren't cheap and neither is buying an ENTIRE BAG of marshmallows for each child you have! This woman has money, she makes money from her videos and gets TONS of views! I grew up homeless and my mother never gave me or my 5 siblings donuts for breakfast because for one, she cared about our health, and for two that wasn't even in our price range! She would make us rice cereal or pancakes, that is called a cheap breakfast. And if time is the issue give your baby a banana and a gogurt! There are so so so many easy breakfast foods that are actually healthy! There is literally no excuse for this behavior unless literally all you have is donuts because they were donated to you and you need to fill your kids belly. I hate these people defending her because in reality you are either just trying to defend yourself because you're a mediocre parent at best, or you don't even have kids like this guy and didn't do any research whatsoever before trying to normalize blatant neglect. If it was really about ascetics than people wouldn't be trying for so many years to get mom influencers like Ruby Frankie behind bars. It doesn't matter if you're a ritch skinny white woman who lives in a beige manson and your entire house looks like an Instagram feed, if your kid is eating donuts for breakfast people are going to point out that that's horrible parenting.

[@LockhartLore]

@@M0bZ0Mb13 This is misinformation - at the very least, it's vast overinflation and tunnel-vision of actually solid health advice. It's not that toddlers cannot have sugar point blank, it's that they shouldn't have it because 1. it has the possibility of setting them up to prefer sweet things to healthy things and 2. more sugar can sometimes mean less nutrients. However, it is classist to be totalitarian about this. Point blank. You cannot go to the store and find very many affordable breakfast options that do not contain sugar. If you can, congratulations for not living in a food desert. I've lived in a city that had nothing more than a dollar general, and you best believe the breakfast shelf was just pop tarts and donuts. If you wanted fresh produce, you had to go far. The fancy Wholefoods selections? Not happening. God forbid you have a job or no transportation, which is also a reality for many. The bottom line is, no, this isn't normal. But stop being a see you next tuesday to the people who have nothing to do with it. Start shouting at the companies who lobby to keep this cycle going. Rich or poor, we're all victims to the junk food epidemic.

[@cassicampbell1033]

@M0bZ0Mb13 are you okay? To rant in run-on sentences, in multiple different threads, alll bc your "mom was poor and didn't feed ME donuts." Wondering, if it's possible for you be any more self-absorbed. Good for you. Good for your mother. You are literally insane if you think feeding a child DONUTS for breakfast, is "blatant neglect." The fact that you claim people have been "trying for years to be like Ruby Franke" is super worrisome ON YOUR PART. Because EVERYONE I watch, have been calling Ruby on her bullshit, FOR YEARS. Just because someone can feed their child, homemade food, in comparison to someone who feeds their child processed food, does not change or affect how much they care and love their child. If you think the type of food, is more important than the parent supporting their child, you need to get off your high horse, & take a deep, hard look at yourself.

i mean, just look at 8 passengers vs the daddy of five situations. ruby franke abused her kids in public for years but they had nice things, lived in a pretty house and drove new cars. she is only just now going to jail after years of abuse. whereas the daddy of five family came off as trashy so when they got caught being abusive it got shut down so fast. the double standard is insane and has very real consequences.

[@pixam345]

This is not a case of a double standard. The first mum looks extremely annoyed and uncaring about her child’s breakfast (she is basically throwing the food around) and is giving the child 3 donuts for *breakfast*, while the other mum seems much more engaged and is using the donuts as an opportunity to take her kids out on a fun outing, to get a *snack*. Donuts are fine as a fun snack, not as a meal. The difference in aesthetics is not the key difference here, it is the situations.

[@elizrebezilmadommdo1662]

[@aaronmontgomeryward2447]

DaddyofFives whole channel was them openly showing the abuse of their kids for content that’s why they were caught so fast. At least from my understanding Ruby Franke tried to portray that her family was fine

[@kichikitsu]

@@aaronmontgomeryward2447 no, both of them openly abused their kids on camera for content and views. the only difference is that it took one of her kids escaping to the police, starved and traumatized after being locked up, for ruby to be shut down and tried for child abuse. daddyofFive got views and it took years of public opinion hating him, and the two kids' bio mother fighting tooth and nail for custody, to get his channel taken down & custody handed over to the mom. to my knowledge, he hasn't been legally prosecuted for his abuse, nor even tried for it, and he STILL has custody of his eldest (possibly step?) boys. he's also back on youtube through his son's channel. so i mean... honestly this case is more misogyny than anything lmao ruby flew under the radar because she was a woman, and obviously, mothers cant be abusive (sarcasm). despite the fact she made content that often shamed her kids & promoted starving, and other abuse, as punishment. but when she did get exposed? it was by the legal system and there is no chance of her slithering her way back into being a family vlogger. meanwhile, daddyofFive was exposed way before any action was actually taken (and the only legal action was his ex taking custody of his two kids) and he still manages to make a "come-back."

[@MaryArts]

This this this! My brothers and I always were called ungrateful cause we would cry about our parents being abusive. The argument: "See what your dad gifts to you."

Nah man that's an american thing, I can guarantee you the rest of the world is shocked by both the influencer and the "I hate my life" mom Especially the comment abt how "poor people can't buy veg and make things look aesthetic" made me angry. Most cereals and pre-packaged food is way more expensive than bananas and apples. They just don't like the taste. That's it. Sugar and fat and sugar, they don't have any clue about a healthy diet or how to cook. And that's not a money issue. Information is out there in the internet and most veg is cheap. If you show emotions while interacting with your child that suggest you hope it drowns in it's cereal bowl, that's not a money issue. Veg is cheap, education is everywhere, love is free. Don't blame circumstances and others for those shortcomings.

[@L83467]

@@LaNoir. i do think there are systemic issues at play here but i cant believe people are essentially denying that basic healthy food (not bougie stuff) is cheaper. im not from america but i just did a quick comparison (using the us prices on the target and walmart websites) between the breakfast of 3 donettes and a motts applesauce pouch vs 2 slices of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and a banana. the donettes meal came to $1.02 and the toast meal came to $0.54. the healthy food would actually save her money and is also just as easy to prepare

[@TheHestya]

@@LaNoir. As a fellow non-American I think we also need to be aware of the food situation in America before having any comments on how people feed their children. America DOES have food deserts, which is areas where fresh produce is non-existent and all you have is tinned, pre-packaged, processed stuff, and not the biggest choice in what's there. America also has processed foods way cheaper than fresh produce in areas where it's available. I don't know if that's the case everywhere in America, but it is the case in many places. And buying pre-made, super processed chicken nuggets is for a lot of Americans way cheaper than making any meal from scratch. We can not judge their choices by what our prices and availability are. We have to look at theirs. The reality is that America is processed food central. If we just compare white bread, what I will find anywhere in Europe (and what you will likely find where you are if it's not Europe) will 100% be better and healthier than any bread an American could possibly find in USA. Their bread is sweet. They add corn syrup to everything, including basic bread. The only way to eat healthy in America would be to eat fresh veggies and fruits, because buying anything at all that doesn't look like it came from the ground or tree, or bush, will be processed, will have sugar and make you hungrier as a result. So you can consume more.

I work in education and in the last few years the child abuse workshop that all EDU professionals are supposed to take has an extra section added just to emphasize that poverty does not equal abuse, and that one is not supposed to report people for child abuse because their family is poor and makes the same lunch each day / has an old-looking backpack / has worn-looking clothes, etc. The hate on poor people is so strong that they had to put it into childcare providers' mandated training.

i think this really just comes down to classism. as a person who grew up in poverty i can tell u first hand how hard it is to eat healthy + spend a ton of time in the kitchen cooking AND take care of ur kids full time when you have no assistance, when you're a single mother, and people around u are shaming u 24/7 for something u cant help (being poor Especially as a single mother) just makes me sad that instead of maybe helping this woman out financially (or even by recommending cheap healthy recipes) in order to get fresher healthier ingredients, they resort to fat shaming and being classist. which really helps no one and probably just makes this mothers life harder

[@TabbyWithMittens]

Instant stuff or stuff that can be cooked easily (like spam) was our always to-go because were raised by a single Mom who was out of town (plus my older sisters raising us, one working while one was still in High school). Of course I can look back on it now and be like "well this cause my sugar addiction" or "wish I ate better", but the reality was there wasn't really anytime for anyone to cook or provide that healthier replacements. When our Mom did cook (which is mostly on her days off, if she isn't sleeping) it be something that can be saved and use as a leftover for a while. I wouldn't say she was the greatest Mom, but the last thing I'm going to complain about is "well she could had provided better food for us" ☠.

Can relate! As a kid my mom barely had the energy to make a healthy supper for us and eating out was very often the next best thing. My sibling and I didn’t really have any education regarding our nutrition so what was healthy was the furthest thing on our minds which in part contributed to bullying from being overweight and later health problems as adults. Do I wish maybe we had a better nutritional starting point? Yeah but you can’t blame your parent if they were earnestly trying their best at the time and didn’t always have the best information. If fresh produce and other foods that aren’t heavily processed were affordable or even free and we all had access to nutritional education then I like to imagine this wouldn’t be a problem. Hope you’re having a good day!

I'd scream and pull at my face and head. So she'd often run to McDonalds to get me an Egg McMuffin. It was the only thing I could stomach for a very long time until we figured out I had actual diagnosed migraines. Not just "bad headaches". And strong tastes and artificial sugar (too much and I'm gone for the day) were a huge trigger. But the thing is, you have to feed a child. Going hungry isn't acceptable. She had to run this by the doctor because... I just was not eating. It was doctor approved! This helped me learn to love eggs and other more savory breakfast foods which are still my choice today. I can better tolerate sweeter foods now, but just barely. I can only imagine how many people would try to ridicule my mother for trying to help a child who was screaming in pain after eating certain foods and we could settle on one item that we knew wouldn't hurt me, all because it came out of McDonald's.

I thought she might be half relatable, half milking it for rage content. So I don't know. Sometimes the reality and satire are indistinguishable from the outside.

So it’s not like I’m just a lazy or bad parent like, as you know others will assume or judge. But it really is a case of (for my younger autistic child) he’s eating chicken nuggets and chips (at home) every day because he won’t eat much else. Thankfully he does eat fruit daily. But really he will starve himself. We try and try to give him new foods but most of the time he refuses or spits them out. I can’t force him to swallow something. He did just start liking steak and pork chops thank goodness so at least that’s something new. People really just don’t understand until they too have an autistic child. They can judge all they want they just don’t understand.

I’m autistic and I have 1 autistic kid and 2 with adhd (hubs audhd). The 7 asked me why I always eat all of my bread crust first even though I say that I don’t like my bread crust. I explained that I don’t like wasting food, so I eat the things I don’t like first and the things I like best last so I can have a happy end to my meal. He’s been doing the same thing since, and the other two have followed suit. “Why you eating (food)? You don’t like (food).” “Because (food) has (nutrients, ie calcium), which helps my body (what those are for, ie building strong bones).” And bam the kid stops complaining they don’t like it like 85% of the time. It helps that they like a lot of healthy stuff.

It's not americans. It's a white thing including europeans. I'm spanish and never met anyone my race in my life that ate salty things for breakfast. Normally here kids eat milk and cereal for breakfast, then they may have something like a sandwich later in the morning during recess. It's not particularly unhealthy as long as the rest of your diet is balanced. It's just a cultural thing like how european sweets are way sweeter than asian sweets. Personally i can't stomach much breakfast at all and never could so drinking some cereal milk (or dipping some cookies in cofee now as an adult) is the best i can do

[@hobog12777]

​@@tenneluna6948 It's not a race thing, White Europeans consist of like a million different cultures (same way Africa consists of a million cultures etc.). Nobody eats sweet breakfasts in my (Central European) country. "American" is also not a race, it's a culture, hence why Americans will share similar breakfast habits despite ethnicity, especially if we're talking about 2nd-3rd+ generation Americans.

[@hobog12777]

Also, a big influence of what we eat for breakfast is just marketing. What is sold as, and marketed as, "breakfast"? Pop tarts, sweet cereals and pancakes are marketed and advertised as "nutritious" breakfasts in many countries, the US especially (being the spiritual birthplace of "convenience breakfast", such as cereals). In my country, there is a type of cracker called "Good Morning Crackers" that are basically just sugar, yet they are advertised as nutritious because they have a couple pieces of oats sprinkled in. For years, I ate that thing thinking it was a breakfast substitute. No problem with eating whatever you want. In the US, you yourself will bear the health consequences, not public healthcare. But feeding your child donuts for breakfast, and putting that burden of compromised diet and thus health on them, day in day out, is wrong.

[@tenneluna6948]

@@hobog12777 There is no serious health consequences to eating a sweet breakfast vs eating a salty breakfast. It is cultural and it doesn't make people who eat one thing healthier over the other. Western europe does have sweet breakfasts, from adults to children consume them and we have some of the longest healthiest lifespan. While some people will get sick from sugar, others who are used to it like us need that rush in the morning to wake up and will feel heavy instead eating a greasy "proper meal" like eggs, bacon and baked beans. It's your diet as a whole that matters. The problem with most americans is that they eat many heavily processed, "junk" type of foods and not much fresh produce to balance the sweets they get in a day.

For me to get fresh fruit, I have to walk for 1h or drive 15 minutes on congested roads to get to a place that sells fresh fruit and vegetables at a price that doesn't demand me to sell my firstborn and my kidney too. Powdered donuts however are a 5min walk away. Are you gonna drive this woman around and pay for the expensive fresh produce? No? Then sit down and think about the reality so many parents are in.

They all just tell me to make their kids whatever is in their fridge and just leave me a list of what their kids have allergies for.

At least they paid me extra for that

[@CrazyMama75]

With my first born I was so careful to make her organic home made healthy baby food from scratch, when I had no work and just one baby before my health really declined. By the time my second baby came alone I was just happy if my kids were fed and healthy. Then as they got old food sensitivities became an issue. So some days we had "normal" breakfasts like cereals, waffles, toast, etc. Some days we had biscuits or left over cake from a party the evening before maybe, or doughnuts as a treat. Cinnamon rolls were a family fav. And and some days we'd have left over dinner from the night before, such as rice with chicken but a smaller portion (great when enough left overs for light lunch or brunch size meals but not for a main meal). Breakfast is just food to give your kids the energy they need for school and you for work, it's any good will do so long as it's overall balanced. Ironically, as a Brit, we rarely have fry ups, we all picky eaters due to sensory issue needs and "traditional" breakfasts for our culture are rarely cooked in ours. Cereals bars or breakfast biscuits. And then we had a phase when all my kids would eat, for every meal, was plain porridge and custard cream biscuits lol. Thankful for vitamin tablets rofl.

You are right that the larger woman is being unfairly targeted, but those breakfasts are still AWFUL and not okay. You can absolutely be poor and eat healthy. I do it for myself, and a child, toddler or baby would need a fraction of the calories I (an adult) am consuming. I think one of the reasons some of the other people don't get called out is because they're making rheir content more about "aesthetic" than about parenting, which again, yes, is unfair, but we can say that without pretending the woman giving her one year old sugary processed crap for breakfast every day is okay and "relatable." Just because a lot of people do it doesnt mean it's okay - thats a fallacy called "appeal to popularity."
