[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My DD is a college freshman. She was born in NY and started kindergarten at 4. When she was in elementary school we moved to a different state with a much earlier deadline which is why she graduated high school at 17 and will not turn 18 for several more weeks. I am very against social media- I am not on it myself and we did not allow DD on it until she was 16. Today a friend asked me if I knew about DD’s social media and sent me a link to her Instagram and TikTok accounts. She has enough followers to qualify for a LTK account. I am very disappointed. The majority of the posts are “get ready with me” videos, shopping hauls, or showing what she is wearing. I don’t like seeing her spending so much money and being so commercialistic. One video was her in her corset Halloween costume, which I am angry about because she is still underage and if she were a senior in high school living under my roof, I would never let her go out like that. She was an academic high achiever in high school who is attending a competitive school.  I believe should be spending her energy in more meaningful pursuits. I don’t know what to do- telling her to delete it would hurt our relationship, which is very strong. I just don’t like the idea that I raised an “influencer.” [/quote]

Please have this conversation directly with your daughter. Your feelings are valid, but you need to communicate them to her.[/quote]

I mean/ daughter hasn’t shared this with mom- how does the non social media mom broach this subject? “My friend was snooping on you and sent it to me who snooped, why didn’t you share this with me?”

Well duh mom because you’re a creeper with creeper friends who then turns to the internet at large for advice rather than knowing how to speak to and connect with me as your child?”
