Anyone who knows you and your family will definitely say that you make the YouTube dads look bad--because you're an amazing dad in real life! Curating one's reality undercuts the truth, and anyone who is a parent recognizes that life involves complexity that includes great times, blah times, and bad times. With more recognition of the truth in all aspects of our society, we can appreciate what truth-tellers express and devalue what liars say.
Agreed. We had a YouTube family in our campground in Alabama last winter. I followed them a bit and what they posted was very little of what they actually did.
Agree YouTube is the new “Saturday Morning Cartoons” except it’s on 24/7. As far as the videos go, I would be willing to bet things are not what they seem. The amount of time they have to spend editing those probably equals out to a normal amount like you or I would spend with our children. Plus, those parents are constantly filming those kids. They’re with them but they’re not *with them,* if you get my drift. Filtered life through a phone camera lens is not the same as direct interaction. I would like the money they get from those videos without actually making the videos though lol.
