“You’re the one who said you like kids.”

She said: “That was really f**king hard. I think what made it worse is that everyone was just laughing at me.
“I don’t need people’s comments and I don’t need people laughing at me.
“I feel like this needs to be a message for people that if you see a mum with her children doing food shopping, then just don’t say anything.
Different parenting techniques
Here are some widely recognised methods:
Authoritative Parenting
This technique will often foster independence, self-discipline, and high self-esteem in children.
It is often considered the most effective, this technique is where parents set clear expectations – enforcing rules – whilst also showing warmth and support.
Authoritarian Parenting
This is opposite to authoritative parenting, as it is where the parent sets high demands but is low on responsiveness.
It involves ensuring the child is obedient and often employ punitive measures. While this can lead to disciplined behaviour, it may also result in lower self-esteem and social skills in children.
Permissive Parenting
Permissive parents tend to be indulgent and lenient, often taking on a role more akin to a friend than an authority figure. They are highly responsive but lack demandingness, granting children a lot of freedom. This method can nurture creativity and a free-spirited nature but may also result in poor self-regulation and difficulties with authority.
Uninvolved Parenting
Uninvolved or neglectful parenting is marked by low responsiveness and low demands. Parents in this category offer minimal guidance, nurturing, or attention. This often leaves children feeling neglected, which can have significant negative effects on their emotional and social development.
Helicopter Parenting
Helicopter parents are extremely involved and overprotective, frequently micromanaging their children’s lives. Although their goal is to protect and support, this approach can hinder a child’s ability to develop independence and problem-solving skills.
Free-Range Parenting
Free-range parenting encourages children to explore and learn from their surroundings with minimal parental interference. This method promotes independence and resilience but requires a safe and supportive environment to be successful.
Attachment Parenting
According to Marriage.com , Attachment parenting focuses on physical closeness and emotional bonding, often through practices such as co-sleeping and baby-wearing. This approach aims to create secure attachments and emotional well-being, but demands significant time and emotional commitment from parents.
Each of these parenting techniques has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The key is to find a balanced approach that aligns with the family’s values and meets the child’s needs for a healthy, happy upbringing.
“Don’t remind her that she’s got her hands full. Like, she’s well aware that she’s got her hands full. People just don’t need reminding, you know, when they’re going through it.”
The video went viral on her TikTok account @ dannimumoffour with over 759k views and 40k likes.
Parents were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “It’s hard but maybe put the camera down might help a bit.”
Another commented: “They’re absolutely old enough to know better than to be running about the shop like that.”
“No one can convince me to have kids,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Jesus, these comments, I have 4 boys under 5. No judgment at all! You’re doing it and doing it well! I have been here so many times and boys are so bad at fighting!! So well done, you’ve done it.”
“Shopping with kids is an extreme sport,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “If I ever see a mother who looks like she’s struggling in a situation like this I always tell her she’s doing an amazing job.”
