I'm savaged for being a strict mum – my kids can't go anywhere without me, people say it’s too much but I trust no one
A MUM has been slammed by trolls for saying that she will never let her children have a sleepover.
Mum Tara went viral on Tiktok when she explained that she doesn’t let them go to sleepovers, have friends over for sleepovers, or have any social media.
The mum has not revealed how old her children are, but she said she has a boy and a girl.
Explaining her rationale for banning sleepovers, the mum said: “Usually, I’m there with them, no matter where they go.
“We have probably two families’ houses that they’re allowed to go to just themselves and it’s because I know that those families are as strict as me if not stricter.
“I still do not allow other people’s kids to sleep over here. I talk about how quickly something can ruin your life.”
Tara was savaged for not allowing her children to have sleepovers, and she responded to the hate.
She said: “The absolute hate, and I mean hate, that I got for my parenting video. People are coming for me, coming for me.
“I mean, making troll accounts left and right, sending me nasty messages, wishing death upon me, all because I don’t allow sleepovers.”
She has concerns about what might go on at a sleepover at someone else’s house: “You don’t know what’s going to happen. You cannot be positive that something won’t happen to your children at someone else’s house.
“They could have older siblings, parents, friends staying over, there are a million other factors”
Regarding “false accusations” happening at her own house if other children stay over, Tara said: “I have a son and I have a husband, it takes two seconds for somebody to say something that will ruin your life. Period.”
Some commenters could see the mum’s perspective.
“I agree with you 100%, my kids do not have sleep overs either”, wrote one parent, while another said: “I don’t believe in sleepovers either.”
Many, however, thought the mum was being overcautious.
“That’s like saying to never let your kids go outside or play on the playground cuz they might get kidnapped”, said one critical commenter.
Another agreed: “I’ve literally never seen one study that being a helicopter parent was beneficial for children.”
“My parents were just as controlling and I became a wild child as a teenager, good luck with that”, warned a third.
