“It’s insane to me how parents think it’s ok to document their children’s worst/most private moments.” Hi, I’m Michaela Bramwell, and I'm a Junior Staff Writer here at BuzzFeed, covering everything trending news, from your latest viral TikTok to the chaos of today's politics. "I wrote that everything is good and I don't have any problems with them. She said they would only deliver a cake as a small act of peace. I agreed and thought OK, that would be sweet." "The girl began muttering about taking responsibility and putting things right, but it appeared as though she wanted the Earth to engulf her. Then her mom quietly said, 'Now give him the cake and ask if he accepts your apology.'" "She started arguing with me, saying that I could have just let her finish properly, but in the end, I just went home. Girl mom is upset with me now and doesn't even say hello when she sees me." "This lady was 10000% going to post that on social media. Right message, if you fuck something up, make it up to the person, but totally wrong way of going about it," redditor lostmymarbles1177 said. "It's insane to me how parents think it's ok to document their children's worst/most private moments and then eternalize them on the internet." "Not the asshole. You accepted the girl's apology; that was enough. Refusing to be filmed is your right, plus you saved a kid from looking miserable on a video which would probably go online," redditor Karla_Pacheoa said. "Parents using children as props for social media should be outlawed," redditor Flat-Replacement4828 said. "Not the asshole, but I'm very concerned for that girl if this is how her mom is treating the situation. After you've already said it was ok, you didn't charge them, and you're moving on from it, and she basically insisted on making a spectacle of it," redditor Feminine_Rage87 said. "I can't imagine how that poor girl is being treated at home over simple accidents or mistakes. You're not wrong for not wanting to be in a video, regardless of the reason. That is just weird for the mom to even think of."
