One mom wants to normalize asking parents what they're doing before launching into a personal rant about their kids, noting that every kid and every parent is different. There is no universal experience when it comes to parenting at certain ages.
Sam highlights that typical responses to her child’s age ignore her personal reality, mentioning how comments on her parenting experience can inadvertently make her feel inadequate or anxious.
She warns against generalizing children's behavior based on age brackets, emphasizing instead that parenting experiences should be individualized and responsive to the unique situations each parent faces.
In her TikTok, Sam calls for a shift in the conversation — from making age-related comments to genuinely checking in on parents' experiences and feelings.
