Nowadays, many parents share pictures and videos of their children online – in their eyes, they are the cutest little things that ever existed and they want the world to see it.
However, not allparentsshare such content because of said reason. Some do it for the clout or even financial gain, which was the case with this redditor’s wife. He opened up to the ‘AITAH’ community about having recently found his wife’s secret TikTok account where she would upload videos of their children’s embarrassing moments and even sell them as ‘exclusive content’. The man was seriously concerned, though the mother of his children saw no problem in that and even called him a ‘buzzkill’.

Many children have a digital footprint even before they are born
With so much of our lives being shared online, it’s no surprise that for many people that includes sharing moments spent with their kids, too. After all, the little ones are usually their parents’ biggest treasure, as well as the people they devote most of their time to.

Sharenting can lead to serious detrimental outcomes
According to said survey, only a quarter of parents ask for their child’s permission every time before posting their image online; roughly a third of moms and dads don’t bother to do so at all.
What arguably makes things worse is the fact that close to a quarter ofsocial media-using parents have their settings set to public, meaning that even people they don’t personally know can have access to content featuring their children. According to Security.org, it can lead to serious detrimental consequences, such as criminals using sharenting posts for child pornography, digital kidnapping, identity theft, or cyberbullying.
