“Silky Mom” Lists Everything She Lets Her Kids Do, The Internet Is Not Impressed

Not necessarily lazy but irresponsible, uninformed and plain stupid. Bad eating habits will have consequences later on in life, if not now. Too much screen time has effects on learning, focus and all kinds of things. Just because you coin a name for being a person with no self control, doesn't mean that you are a good parent.

This is frustrating. So, we didn't put a lot of restrictions on our kids. We wanted them to be able to make choices for themselves from an early age. I feel like we dictate everything kids can and can't do from day one and then get all upset with them when they struggle to do things for themselves when they're older. So, my kids were allowed to eat whenever they were hungry. BUT, I got to choose what the pantry was stocked with and it wasn't junk food. They got to choose how they spent their free time. Screens were unlimited, but if we saw they were seeming to spend too much time on screens, we'd suggest something else. We led by example. So, we would go out and do sports, go hiking, play board games, do an art project. Eventually, they were able to basically self regulate to the point that they were choosing less screen time on their own. We never wanted screen time to be "bad" because screens are used for everything.

"Hey, mommy, I'm 6 and weigh 200 lbs. Why?"

I had to look up 'Silky mum'. What a ridiculous term for what is simply poor parenting. Those poor children. Kids need guidance on what is good for them, healthy for them, and how to behave and live. Not endless snacks and screens.

"I'm a silky mom, I don't believe in boundaries because it's hard. In 20 years, I'll be shocked my kids dont talk to me, are insecure, in bad relationships, and don't know how to take no for an answer."

And here I am struggling to become a mum and this thing gets them and treats them this way. Can't even look at her she makes me sick oh let's make my kids unheathly and obese and spoiled

If she didn't have all that in her house, the kids wouldn't have access unless they went to a friend's house. Children need limits and she's not giving any about anything. Bad parenting 101. Society will be stuck with them.

She is proud of something she should be ashamed of... just gross.

I used to know several kids like this. Now their obese, have poor social skills, and failing grades.

All I heard was "I'm a sh*tty mom". Lazy*ss mom. That's not something to brag about when CPS comes knocking on your door when your kids don't go to school bc you let them do what they want.

" I'm a silky mum so of course I'm a lazy b***h who doesn't care about my kids"

CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES!!!!

" A silky mom is often described as a modern mother who uses technology and products that make parenting easier or less stressful." Prime definition of lazy

I'm sorry but this is actually a form of neglect. And neglect is a type of abuse. She flat out posted a video about how she abuses her kids. That's just flat out wrong. You need to raise your kids, not let them raise themselves.

Does 'crunchy mum' really embrace suffering or mean children are allowed only limited free time? Where is the author getting this?

With tablets and phones, you decide what goes on them. My son's iPad has a ton of educational apps, music apps, a drawing app, an app to help with his speech and no access to the internet apart from about 3 sites. At 7pm everything locks out. Though he is not on it all the time but it is a good way for him to decompress after school.

From the looks of her, she can't even maintain a proper diet for herself, how could she organize on for three children?

There needs to be a balance. Too restrictive and that can lead to problems but so can being too lenient

Wtf I mean really

I'm a slovenly mom.

I have a bit of a balance between this and the other term they use that is the opposite. My kids have snacks but they have a mix of healthy and junky, meaning they have chips and they have fruit and depending on how well a vary the fruit options, it'll be their main choice of snack until it's all gone. My 10 yr has a tablet and my 9yr used to until he broke it and I didn't replace it because he didn't take care of it the first time. I don't have any video game consoles in my house. When the weather is nice and their friends down the street are home, they spend the day outside and that's by choice. I don't have to force them. Even when they are watching TV, it's mostly background noise while they play with their toys. Getting they to help pick up is the big challenge I face.

I think the most twisted part is her putting in on tiktok as a brag / attention. Just speaks volumes about her and lack of parenting style.

When did the spelling for "PIG" change to "SILKY"?

You can be a silky mom on a day when you're sick.

Great day woman!! Why even bother to get your lazy @$$ out of bed?? Just let everyone live in nasty old pj's, eat garbage and never see the sun or run and play. Call it what you want, but I see absent mom. Poor kiddos.

Okay if this is lazy parenting then I want you to stop using your phone for everything, I want you to stop going to Starbucks, I want you to no longer go to a restaurant, and I want you to stop watching Netflix Hulu and other TV services. No more games. Nothing else other then hiking sleeping and going to work. K? K 😁

Lol ya'll are freaking out about this? I've seen WAY WAY worse parents. Is this the best? no of course not, but it's nowhere near as bad as any of you are making it out to be either. Absolutely NOTHING here is anything that CPS would even bat an eye at. Go f*****g worry about children that ACTUALLY need f*****g help.
