Olivia’s comments sparked a divide online, with several people suggesting that her take seemed “selfish.” “Making your kid only watch stuff you are interested in is weird and pretty self-centered parenting imo,” one person said on Reddit. “Seems selfish but whateves,” another user wrote.
“So, she doesn’t want her kids to have access to age appropriate (educational in the case of my girl Ms. Rachel) programming just because it isn’t made for her, an adult?” someone else said. One more person added, “What a miserable way to parent a child. I understand that there are some shows (Cocomelon is one) that are both annoying and do nothing to promote learning, but Ms. Rachel? Blue’s Clues?? Ma’am. Maybe you shouldn’t have had a kid if you didn’t want to actually raise that child and let them have childish interests. This is an extremely selfish take.”
