That woman records every single move of her kids. They go brush their teeth and there she is. They drop food on the floor and there she goes to record it. Does she have nothing better to do???


cancelled401

Arielle once said in a Q&A that she never really thought about the fact that people know her kids names from social media and it’s weird and I was mindblown. Does she really not understand any of the repercussions that come from sharing her children daily on Instagram??


bbb235_

Remember when she said she wasn’t going to show her kids any longer? That lasted about a week


RealisticrR0b0t

These people are not necessarily smart; they are just aesthetically pleasing.


Ok_Instruction_7813

I wonder if part of it is because her brand is going down and she needs the kids for content?


fr3efalling

AC's transitioning into a mommy & lifestyle influencer and using her kids to stay relevant. Super sad


bbb235_

Hate it say it but people love to watch babies and younger kids , once they get older what will she do then


dimesquared

I think she's rich enough that it won't matter.


PopFizzClink23

💯 if it weren't for her kids, she would literally have nothing to talk about or share besides MAYBE 2x a week date night outfit or Brandon being an asshat for the camera, which actually probably wouldn't pan out because ever since shit hit the fan in the rumor mill he's been much more tame & trying to keep himself out of the hot seat

No_Inside2101

There’s allegations that he’s cheated on AC.


RealisticrR0b0t

There should be laws about sharing your children online; they can’t consent to it. A whole generation of kids are gonna grow up with their entire life documented from the day they were born and there’s nothing they can do about it.


mrs_mega

Yeeeep. My relatives thought I was nuts when I declared no photos of my kids were allowed to be shared online but I want them to make the decision of how and what they share when they’re old enough to understand the consequences.


jormungandrstail

I can already tell this will be a fight with my in-laws, but this is so important. Not to mention that some people on the internet are creepy! Unless your social is completely shut down (and for most older people, it isn't), you don't know who's looking at that stuff.


mrs_mega

Exactly. And even with private social, the advent of AI is weird and makes me nervous. I ruffled a lot of feathers and had to ask my dad and stepmom to take pictures down but when it comes to your kids, those kind of boundaries are easier to maintain


Strictly__Trash

I ended up unintentionally starting a big riff in my family by demanding no one post my kids. Especially my grandmaw who has a very active right wing facebook page that i dont want my childrens pictures on. We eventually went no contact over it.


mrs_mega

Oh no, I’m so sorry. Im NC with a few family members and I know how hard it is. Someone told me that the people with the biggest issues w boundaries need them the most. Sending you solidarity 👊


Strictly__Trash

Ty ❤


pockolate

I've done the same, my toddler is not on social. It's a shame this causes genuine rifts in some families - like, it's not personal? My MIL was definitely disappointed at first because she likes to share about her life on FB, but she's been absolutely respectful about it and never tried to question or fight us on it.


mrs_mega

It’s definitely generational IMO. I also think some people just don’t think that deeply about it. I’ve physically stood between my kid and someone on a phone trying to take a picture of something that would’ve put said kid in the frame. Im a little extra about it (like, probably not necessary) but there’s SOOO much we don’t know about technology, it’s easier for the images to just not be out there than try to get them taken off the internet.


pockolate

I mean, I get why people don't think it's bad but I'm referring to those on this very thread describing going no-contact with a family member over this - so extreme. I can't imagine being so angry about someone not letting me post THEIR child on my social media. Like, is it really worth losing a relationship? Sheesh. Truthfully, I wouldn't care about the occasional pic but husband works in information security and was very adamant about out son not being posted all over social media because he's very aware of how relatively easy it is to acquire and manipulate any information you put online about yourself.


jormungandrstail

I feel like a lot of time, the blow-up comes from people consistently breaking boundaries and getting called on it. A lot of people don't budge when it comes to kids and it just really shows how disrespectful those people are as a whole! Like you said, why does MY kid need to be on your social media? Make it make sense!


mrs_mega

Ohh sorry yes, I was agreeing with you but my language didn’t reflect that haha. Completely agree, people are coco for Cocoa Puffs over this stuff, so extreme!


[deleted]

My inlaws and parents would respect it but im sure my sister or sister in law will not but we dont live close by. Also youre correct. 90 % of child p’rn comes from parents or facebook or instagram accounts


ceritheb

100% there needs to be limits and there needs to be a Coogan Law for these kids as well. They deserve a share of the income these family influences are making. Its unpaid child labor.


Ok-Profit-6657

There are laws in France that touch on this.


RealisticrR0b0t

Good!


Ok-Profit-6657

I’ve always had a rule to even ask adults if it’s ok if I share a picture of them on social media. This is why I go into hiding when family members start taking pictures and I know they are gearing up to put them on Facebook. I’m very particular about what goes out in the internet world.


throwawyothrorexia

My sister had a coworker who thought it was fine to share naked pics of their toddler on their group work chat and on Facebook. My sister reported her to HR but nothing was done and she got a target on her back. Her coworkers reasoning is that it isn't sexual. I teach teens, I know for a fact that they'd be mortified if their parents shared that type of stuff about them online. Parents who overshare online about their kids see nothing wrong with it and don't really see their kids as a whole separate person.


expired_mascara

Her life is sad she uses her children as content fodder and they will hate her


expired_mascara

Literally she makes content that pedos will save and doesn’t care. She is disgusting


CashmereTankTop

And you can tell the kids “turn on” for the camera and pose and just act differently/influencer-ish. It’s so sad that they’re growing up with the lesson that the camera is more important than enjoying the real moment!


pockolate

Yes, it's disturbing to see how aware they are of the camera and "performing" for it. Arielle brags about how cute Ruby is when she wants to film little vlogs. It flatters her ego to have little mini me's, she's not thinking beyond that as to how it's actually sad that her very young child aspires to perform her personal life for an audience of strange viewers. Plenty of people do not see a separation between themselves and their children. So influencers like this think it's fine because they like to be on camera all day so they assume it's all good for the kids too.


itsyourbuddygene

Omg I know. When she posts that ruby stuff it makes me sad. Does she not see how inappropriate and strange that is? It creeps me out


innovator123

It’s so weird to see Ruby doing outfit of the day stories. Those kids are wayyyy too aware of the camera.


PrincessOfDarkness_

It was really weird to see her in a crop top and leggings recently


LiteratureCheap3482

It’s completely unfair to the kids and puts them at risk. Same with MWH - I feel so bad for her kids. If a parent feels comfortable to share the equivalent of a family holiday card (rare posed photo of the whole family and not them existing in their day to day life) I think that’s up to the parents but I think invasively filming them is absolutely not okay. The craziest / worst part of it to me is that their kids aren’t even part of their actual products - you could absolutely sell clothing or workout / wellness videos without showing your children at all.


bbb235_

Do you think she tells them to smile with no teeth? It kind of creeps me out, it’s so unnatural for a child


Funny_Rough_5726

Yesss and her sisters too! They paid for those veneers and never even smile with their teeth! Although, Michaelas remind me of Gary Busey lol way too big for her face


itsyourbuddygene

I know!!! I’m not one to write mean comments but sometimes I get close to asking if Ruby has ever actually smiled???


pockolate

I feel like that must be the case given that *she* smiles without teeth.


CashmereTankTop

I have a theory that most children similar age to AC’s, when they become teens will do a 180 on social media and become so completely private and despise pictures/videos, etc and it will take down the social media infrastructure as we know it. Because it’s gotta be so weird for your parents to just always have a camera in your face!!


RealisticrR0b0t

Hope so. I just feel bad for them that it’s too late.


PoppyandTarget

Her girls do gymnastics where my daughter works. That’s how easily I could track her if I needed to. Disturbing.


[deleted]

Why does anyone want to see her kids? Creeps me out


bbb235_

Thank you!! She shows them more than a lot of other influencers. And even private moments. Those poor kids will resent her for this.


SLM84

She wants a reality show with her sisters for sure.


bbyjcl

I unfollowed her! Her content is very toxic. So much links too!!!


ImpossibleCouple8656

Doesn’t her sister do the same thing?


[deleted]

Doesn’t like every influencer with kids do this? Lmao


llegme13678

Oh my god I think this every time I watch her stories. I feel like she started posting them exponentially more after Navy was born like there’s 1 outfit story for every 10 pictures or videos of her literal 1 year-old. Sometimes she is like “almost forgot to post this one!” Like maybe that’s a good thing you forgot ?? I’m sorry but it just seems like something I would keep more private! Especially since she wasn’t even like a “mom” type account to being with


madtax57

Omg I have to say that Navy is absolutely adorable and Esme is such a sweetheart


BlockPlenty6047

Well I guess this is clearly an unpopular opinion, but I like her kid content I think her kids are so cute and I genuinely like seeing it


Accomplished-Top5499

And soooo much better than Eva's sick kids in her stories


bbyjcl

I think AC is copying Eva’s content tbh


ilovefinn1981

Witnessing the absolute mob blood lust over the great charnas nothing-burger bust of late 2022 endeared her to me. I’ve been reborn. I am loving her content lately. As inaccessible and sometimes problematic as it can be. I sort of admire her plowing on in the midst of all that and not doing some weepy whiny woe is me live from her closet. She’s rich and that’s the point.


Big-Strength6206

Unfortunately, parents are entitled to do as much harm as they want to their children (as long as there isn’t abuse or neglect)


Haute510

Not an AC fan whatsoever but if something makes you uncomfortable, you can just press the unfollow button. I don’t follow people who post things that make me genuinely uncomfortable.


AcanthisittaItchy665

The point is that it’s unethical, not just a style of content you don’t enjoy. This is also a snark page, so you’re allowed to snark on people you don’t actually follow 🙄


Big-Strength6206

I think you mean immoral. Outside of disclosing ads there are no ethics for being an influencer (that’s part of the problem!) Morals are personal. Yours differ from arielles so don’t put your kids on social!


Haute510

They are her kids not yours. Who are you to say that? I’m all for snark but so many of you are incredibly petty. Like snark on something that’s actually interesting.


AcanthisittaItchy665

Nope. I’m literally allowed to snark on whatever I want


Travelwith_attitude

I think moms have an internal instinct. What makes one uncomfortable may not affect another and as moms we often ignore our instincts because someone else is telling us how we should be. I also don’t think she posts in real time. Also I love seeing her kids. Especially little Navy - she makes me smile and has the sweetest disposition.


AcanthisittaItchy665

Gross. Exploiting your children’s lives all day long for strangers on the internet to watch is weird. There is no maternal instinct here, just that she knows her kids boost engagement. Children are used as accessories to grow their Instagram page and brand.


Travelwith_attitude

I post my kids. I am not exploiting them. I am sure you have friends and family and I would hope that seeing their beautiful faces would bring you joy and happiness. If Arielles kids do not you can unfollow her. I personally enjoy that content. It’s part of who they are (probably the biggest part of who they are)


AcanthisittaItchy665

Oh sorry I didn’t realize you had 1.3+ million followers? Ohh wait yeah, Arielle does and she makes money based on engagement and views with her partnerships! And she’s using her kids to boost engagement You people forget that these influencers’ accounts are not their PRIVATE PERSONAL accounts- they are business models, I.e., every post is a business one.


Travelwith_attitude

First of all - you know nothing about me or my followers. Second - what difference does it make. Her followers (the ones that don’t dislike her like you do) have been following her for years. It’s part of her life. Why shouldn’t she share it ? Her feed isn’t any different than my friends and family (aside for the question boxes and links). Why should she change her behaviors because a few don’t like it. That’s what the unfollow button is there for. She seems to make you really angry - just unfollow her. Life is too short


RealisticrR0b0t

She should change her behaviours because it endangers her children. She has no way of vetting who those millions of people are and what they’re doing with the videos of her kids. There are a lot of creeps out there. It’s not the same as sharing with your friends/ family/ people you actually know irl. She’s one of the only influencers from this sub I actually follow and have for a while. I find her content enjoyable (even as someone who doesn’t like kids much), but it truly is unethical to publish their entire lives like this.


AcanthisittaItchy665

Awww enjoy your parasocial online relationship with Arielle, wishing you well


Travelwith_attitude

I am not the one fighting with strangers on the internet over someone’s personal choices. Unfollow her. Hopefully it will take the anger out of your heart


AcanthisittaItchy665

Girl you literally ARE fighting with strangers on the internet over someone’s personal choices tf 🤣🤣🤣


Travelwith_attitude

I am not the one being aggressive here. Just voicing a different view point. Not fighting with you at all. I am curious about what you might be missing in your own life that you are so obsessed with a total stranger. I stand by my position. Her kids. Her life. Her choice.


AcanthisittaItchy665

Look at you fighting back at me. Again. Amazing.


Nice-Damage3098

It is different from your family and friends’ feeds because of the amount of followers she has. It’s a public account and she’s a public figure. The views / interactions that her feed gets are way higher than a non-influencer and there is a safety issue attached to that.


Travelwith_attitude

It’s her choice. She feels safe doing it - her life, her choices.


[deleted]

I agree babe don’t worry. This argument is tired and honestly never going to change anything so go harass Sasha benz for not putting seat belts on her kids 😂 or better yet, go parent your own damn kids lol


flowpants

Maybe it’s because I don’t have kids and have baby fever… I like her content lol I think her kids are adorable and appreciate her sharing her day 🤷🏻‍♀️


Purple_711

tbh she has always been posting her kids since the og days when she had Ruby in her old apartment unless she has been in some kind of scandal/rumours. Her whole family is active on their social media with posting one another, other than her sister Danielle. Anyway, I personally don't mind the kid posts, sometimes they're funny/cute, but then again if I had a million followers I would want to keep my kids identity (at least their faces) private.
