Family's Home gets DESTROYED by FLOOD!? 

Story #4: for those saying 'they're family's - no they're relatives, family actually cares about and accepts you (and aren't necessarily connected by blood) while relatives simply share a tree

Story #2: The only thing the wife did in that situation was go to the bathroom to escape an awkward conversation. The FIL and MIL were bringing up inappropriate topics, the FIL didn't back down and kept at it even when asked to drop it, and the OP's husband was the one that made the decision to have him and OP leave that situation. She literally has nothing to apologize for. What is she supposed to say? "Sorry for going to the bathroom and leaving with my husband afterwards??"

Story #4: Hearing OP’s niece being so overtly homophobic, and then hearing that she is 20 YEARS OLD? Like she is literally a year younger than me??? Hearing someone who’s almost the same age as me be like this, especially being a gay man myself, had me REELING! That was a WILD story, good grief 🤯 OP is the good apple 100%. Gonna go pick my jaw off the floor now

Story #1: I am a parent, and my profession also involves risk and risk mitigation. There are two components to risk. The probability of an event occurring, and the harm caused by the event. The risk to older people may not seem that bad, because the probability is relatively low of something happening based off a facebook photo, but the harm could be devastating. Protect your kids, period.

I honestly would have done the same thing in the story with the officer, because I originally thought it was going to be a gun, weapon or bomb if there were police officers looking for something important after seeing someone walk in with a different backpack and leaving it

Story 1: I grew up in the era where Facebook was becoming huge and my mother posted her entire life there. This included me, she wanted to portray this perfect image when at home things were far from perfect. It was a way to say, look at my great family and life. I was extremely insecure about my weight and looks in general from a young age and was told I HAD to be in photos or you never let me take photos of you or was made to feel awful about not wanting to be in photos. All I'd think is how loads of random people would see these awful photos of me and it filled me with so much anxiety. I think that's another side of that culture. It's selfishness and a need to show off regardless of how your kids feel about it.

The stepmother from story 3 is how you get a kid that doesn't understand consequences like in story 4.

I know how hard it is to form that 'backbone'. As a fellow "sure I'll sit here quietly while you shred my soul/self esteem" conquerer I'm so proud and happy for you.....and also apologize on behalf of the internet horrors that have contributed to it

I only have a comment for #1- if MIL wants to post a pic, do a back pic. Those are so adorable. A sweet pic of them walking together, or MIL holding the baby and you maybe see 1 or 2 features of the infant. Put it in B&W and tell her these are ok to post. Only use baby’s first initial, etc. those are clear boundaries that if she goes against them these will be the consequences. You could also help her to set more appropriate privacy settings. Just some options.

Story 3: You can't convince me the step mother didn't buy OP's cousin the vape, there's no reason she'd be that mad otherwise Story 4: SHE IS 20 FREAKING YEARS OLD! She is in fact old enough to know actions have consequences. I hate it when people use that argument for people over the age of 13

Story #4: Niece should have learned that 'actions have consequences' back when she was 14 and was being rude to her family members the first time it happened. The fact that she didn't learn that lesson for her actions toward OP and his husband in the 4 years her parents had some measure of control over her behavior speaks to the lack of consideration for OP on part of at least one parent (I'm guessing the mom based on the story).

Story #1 is way more simple than the way you went, though that discussion is 100% needed too. The parents set a very basic rule, and the MIL can't abide by it. That makes her in the wrong and probably should be banned from taking photos of the child until she fully accepts the basic rule. Story #2: The OP did the responsible thing and left the toxic situation. The FIL just called her ugly and beneath all the girls her husband dated in HS. Instead of reaming him as an AH and a clown, she left. The sister is in full panic mode because she's going to be facing that kind of stupidity alone now. Definitely not go back until they both apologize because honestly the MIL wasn't blameless in this either. Story #3: Blaming the tattletale for the vaper getting caught doing something wrong is wrong. Did she snitch intentionally? I agree with you. But if everyone adopts the "Snitches get stitches" mentality, we're going to have a massive surge in crime rates because everyone will think they can get away with it. Story #4: Oh no, not facing the consequences of your homophobia! That's too much to bear. ;) And she can stay in a hotel. She can stay at her friend's house like she is currently doing (unless she's wearing out her welcome there too which isn't surprising). 4 Good Apples!!!

Where did this "but theyre familyyyy" mentality come from?? When I was growing up it was always be respectful or gtfo. Nowadays people just expect kindness when they dont deserve it. Absolutley crazy

I love how the brother in story 4 understood his brother’s decision!!

I hate that most of my baby/ toddler pictures are of me topless because mom didn’t buy me cotton clothes had me in random clothes that government me rashes but never got me a bra until I had my heart surgery & needed the extra skin sensitive layers over my scar. (To better understand, I was 2 years old in one & looked like a dwarf with fully developed breasts & that’s the one my aunt & cousin use to flood the baby pro folio of me & my cousin as babies) if I bring it up saying “why that picture?” “Why not crop me out” my readiness there were boys from our classes there in her party (one guy in general stalked me till college) but no one cared about that consequence.

Story 4 hits hard as someone who is Queer (and is also Transgender) I don’t want to associate with bigoted family members

Side note to story 3: She didn't say she KNEW what they were looking for was in the book. She just said she saw SOMETHING. Also, all it took was her noticing the different backpacks. That's usually enough to grab one's attention and look more closely on what's going on....

This series makes me excited for every Tuesday

Not related to any story, but I know you would understand my pain, Rebecca… I just had to take my cat for her last vet appointment today. I’m 28 and have had her since I was 11-12. She stopped eating, barely drank any water, and stopped grooming herself. I will miss her so so much

Story 3- if a police officer came into my class looking for something I would not assume it was a vape of all things. I would be expecting a bomb or a knife or drugs or something a lot worse? Vapes are bad ofc but even if it wasn't that bad I would be concerned in this situation if anyone did not point it out unless they knew what it was. In uk schools there are so many drugs that I don't think vapes are really cared about at all because staff and police are too busy looking for stuff like ket and weed etc

I'm the girl in the third story and I swear I didn't! I kinda have a bit of a history of my mother forcing to lie to the police and my sisters got badly hurt because of that. That was a fresh thing on my mind at the time. I actually have a good relationship with her, a better one than others from that side because she understood the abuse that was going on. I still didn't agree with most of the things she did, but I understood them. Also, they weren't as bad as my step sister. I also guess I forgot to mention that yeah, I'm both a military and police force kid. That didn't help matters. Would I do it again? Most likely not. I personally give myself crabapple after seeing so many different views. Also, also! You have no idea how excited I was to have my story here. And to help you with your apple pie. 😉

Last year I had a student get up, walk over to the door, get something from a person in the hallway, walk across the classroom, and put that something in another student’s hoodie pocket. It was a vape. And I was flabbergasted that they would be so obvious about it. And I told them both that this was the dumbest thing that they possibly could’ve done. It is absolutely crazy how many young teenagers think it’s cool to vape just because their friends and family do. It’s exactly like when we were younger and cigarettes were “cool“.

The stupidest part about vaping is that I heard the original Vapes didn't have any nicotine and them whatsoever and in fact that was the whole idea.

I agree. 4 good apples!!! That girl in story 4 has such gross behaviour!!!🤮

My favorite series on RU-vid!!! Thank you Ms. Roger ❤️

I already posted to a story but I wanted to say I love all your videos from the shorts, to the apples to the new Karen videos. Your smile and energy is amazing 😻 So thank you it's needed most days 🫶🏻😸

Is it wrong to say that I want that niece to hit rock bottom just to get a hard dose of reality about being kind to people? She’ll only be good to people once it’s convenient for her and they have something that can help her, but hopefully she will unlearn that!

Story 1: As someone who was recorded dancing to my favourite song without my knowledge and consent, who only found out the bad apple who recorded the video restored it from his recycle bin when I caught him showing it to my favourite teacher, it matters. That feeling of powerlessness is the worst feeling. Especially as it took telling that teacher what happened for this guy to FINALLY take it down from TikTok. But it had been shared so many times already that when it came time for our leavers assembly at school THREE YEARS later, despite my repeated pleading in the previous weeks, it was shown among the 'funny TikToks' section. Let's just say there's a reason I left that place as quickly as I could. TLDR: Privacy matters. Don't take photos or videos of people without their permission. That's just mean, and quite frankly, rude too.

I love this series!!! Keep it up girl!❤

I would just like to say Happy New Year to Rebecca Rogers and all the rest of the people who are celebrating!

I'm addicted to this series

I'm not a parent, so with the 1st story, it's a tough one! My brothers that have kids post them quite often. And on their bday's. They usually make a really nice post describing my neice or nephew. It's sweet! Having said that, to each their own. I agree with you and yeah, there are all kinds of creepy people out there! #2: I like what you said about high school yrs! High school wasn't great for me. I used to be jealous of those that said it was the best 4 yrs of their lives. I like your answer! Good for you on learning to stick up for yourself more! #3: I probably wouldn't have outted my cousin, but at face value, she didn't do anything wrong. #4: Agree! I wish the parents of the 20 yr old addressed this sooner! I don't understand why she'd want to stay with him, now!

Love am I the bad apple Edit: In story two that husband is amazing

The Intro had me thinking bad apple but the story and the explanation at Apple #4 had me at good apple 100%. The Intro all the way at the beginning of the video really had me. It got me. lol Good Job Misses Rogers.

I almost always forget these are uploaded on Tuesday so it's a nice surprise when I go to my subscription feed and see these episodes.

OMG I agree with all of your choices this week!! Lol all good apples!! These stories are so amazing this week. (as far as the decisions) 🍎🍏🥧 I'm not really a cat person but I get tons of funny cat videos and baby videos on my FYP.

So, the In-laws in the second story are angry that the poster politely removed herself from an emotionally volatile situation. OP is absolutely the good apple

I love watching you content it always give me something to listen to while i go about my day! 😊 it is also nice to hear your thoughts, sometimes it gives me a new idea on things myself!

Family or not - aany disrespect means that person is not allowed in my home.

First story: Same exact thing happened with my mother-in-law. I had to have a serious conversation with her after she posted a NAKED PHOTO of my son!!!!! I almost lost my mind on that woman, she had a public account! She's even friends with complete strangers on purpose!!!

Firstly, if you're going to make a physical apple pie, Marie Callender's Dutch apple takes the cake... or the pie, I guess. Also, I work in a building with a preschool and the teacher was reading a book about Fall and my ears perked up when one of the characters in the book said "let's go apple picking!" Made me happy that it was Tuesday 😊 Hope you're having the best day!

Story 3: fuck a snitch. These are high schoolers, it was a vape… not a gun , not a knife. Is vaping a good choice? definitely No. But is getting your cousin a fine and a punishment going to help them? Also no. If anything, it’s gonna make shit worse for them. Talk to your cousin after school, if need be , go talk to your aunt, tell her you are concerned. But don’t rat her out to the school cops.

OK, Rogers, you got me with that opening clip. Upon hearing the last story but before hearing your opinion, I was ready to go to war in the comments. What kinda bait and switch was that??? 🤣

One of my biggest pet peeves isn't even when kids decide to do things like smoke or drink, it's when they decide to try to get away with it at school. I can't tell you how much I hated when someone I sat beside would "subtlety" spit into an empty Coke or Dr. Pepper bottle while chomping on chewing tobacco. And then leaving it in the room! There was a time I specifically remember someone taking it from their mouth and wiping it on the wall because someone was coming to inspect or something. If you can't go without in a place it specifically doesn't need to be in, then get yourself some help because you have a problem.

As a kid that has been groomed on the internet don't put your kids on any PUBLIC account and ask them before you post their pictures on private accounts for anything that could seem embarrassing (naked baby pictures for example) people underestimate how dangerous it can be. I have also heard stories of children that nearly got kidnapped because enough of their life was on the internet that someone could walk up to them and pretend they were a family friend Edit-i saw someone else say back shots and I agree!!! If you want your kids on your social media do not post their face until they are old enough to consent do photos from the back!

As a mother... who's mother doesn't have any respect for boundaries. She's a good apple! You do what is right for your kiddo!!!

I love your bad apple and podcast episodes!

Just a friendly request (story 1 focus but also good habit)... Please don't exclude foster/adoption parents. Or grandparents who are acting in a parental capacity, or another family member. I think it's much easier to use guardians over parents...

ooooh is it petty of me that i really want a video of Rebecca replying to nasty comments and handing rude people their a$$es on a platter? because i'm not gonna lie, i would absolutely LOVE to see that! 😊😂 edit after the video: usually there's at least one story where i disagree with your judgment based on my own life experience but i don't disagree on these at all! especially that last one. i don't blame OP for not wanting that kind of person in his house, and i'm impressed that OP's brother fully understood and sided with OP instead of his daughter. but if the SIL wants to make the argument that the niece didn't know her actions would have consequences, even though she's a legal adult, then SIL needs to take accountability for not parenting her better. that is literally a parent's job: to teach their kids right from wrong and that actions have consequences, and to do their best to make sure their kids grow up to be good people. so if SIL wants to push that excuse, she needs to take responsibility for her failings as a parent (at least in regard to that particular child).

Story 1: I get the advantages of connecting with family, but some older adults do not belong online. Let's put aside the pictures (mostly) for now, since that can be parent to parent. What's NOT is internet and information security. Think about all those questions you get asked while setting up an account... birthdays, favorite pet names, teacher names, first jobs.... half of keeping your accounts safe and/or preventing identity theft is keeping personal information to make or gain access to accounts safe. And, oh yeah, for some people now their face is a security feature to unlock their phone/account, sooooo... parents are a Good Apple there. Grandparents are a Crab Apple, but not because of maliciousness, more because they don't think like a criminal. Story 2: Good Apple. FIL is gross, rude, and way out of line. Sure, a certain degree of honesty regarding exes can be more healthy mentally, but at the same time it's a taboo for many for a reason. And not only by extension is FIL talking about it, they're at the same time saying OP isn't attractive enough to even earn a look from the husband in high school? Talk about "I don't mean to be rude, proceeds to say rude thing." Story 3: Absolute Crab Apple, Bud. I get it, police are scary, and we get conditioned to do what they tell us to while we're young, say 13 or 12. Minors vaping is bad for a lot of reasons beyond the nicotine (the nicotine alone is bad, but mostly due to irritation, potential for future addictions, basically a whole host of psychological reasons developing brains under 25 really should avoid it, but thankfully the carcinogens are other chemicals in tobacco.) Depending on the quality of the vape you have, you've got other issues to worry about like popcorn lung, heavy metal deposits, and an increased propensity for pneumonia and bronchitis. This is mostly just an issue for the person who vapes, though, unless they're enough of a bad apple to hotbox other people. I'd say rather than police, this should really be a problem dealt with by social workers, counselors, and addiction specialists rather than police. If police are involved, it should be on the distribution level, figuring out who's illegally supplying these teens. But to get off this rant on the ineffectiveness of modern drug enforcement and get back to OP, snitches get stitches. Much like if you see someone shoplifting food, no you didn't. Story 4: Good Apple. You have no obligation to bring someone who hates you into your home. Being the bigger man is one thing, love being the antidote to hate is one thing. But you don't have to let someone like that into where you eat and sleep and are most vulnerable if you don't want to. If you don't feel safe, don't do it. Hell, if you don't like her, don't do it. Deradicalizing people from hate is a specialized job, don't pick it up out of a misplaced sense of obligation.

I was not filmed on RU-vid I was however part of a family band from ages 10-15 and I loved performing and meeting people however I do feel like it made me have to grow up and mature quickly and this made me feel like I lost a lot of my childhood years

1. Good apple. Your kid, your rules. It’s not her place to post your child or any of their information. I’m a parent and grandparent, and though my kids are grown, I don’t post my kids or grandkids without permission. Plus, I’d hate for childhood pictures of me to be shared. 2. Good apple. Hubby is a Good Apple too. FIL is an ass. Don’t apologize. I’d have slapped the jerk for that. 3. Good apple. 4. Good apple. Your home, your rules. You don’t need to let anyone into your home who disrespects you.

Story #3: as a high school teacher where SO MANY of them have the "I ain't no snitch" mentality, I APPLAUD this girl 👏

Story 3: good apple. Why does society hate when people tell the truth? Terms like tattle take, snitch, and whistleblower are common things used to describe someone who tells the truth to an authority figure or gives the truthful information to someone, organization, or the general public. Yet these terms have negative connotations surrounding them. There are plenty of examples of people with both good and bad intent getting the truth out. An example of 1 with good intent is Kathrine Gun, a former British intelligence agent who spoke out about the US and UK’s plan to go to war with Iraq in 2003. She was trying to stop a war from happening (which sadly didn’t work), there is a book about her called “The Spy who tried to stop a war.” An example of 1 with bad intent is Julius and Ethel Rosenbergs (allegedly), were American spies who were convicted of selling secrets to the Soviets during the Cold War (allegedly). Can we as a society stop the negative stipulations and stereotypes around just telling the truth? In this story a MINOR has something that (depending where they live) is illegal for them to have. regardless of whether OP knew about it or not, a police officer and the VP come into the room with 0 context and just ask “where is it” yeah you point out the suspicious thing in the back. OP telling the truth just made things easier cause if no one said anything then the cop and VP were gonna search the room which would have taken longer and just been a pain for everyone.

I agree, all good apples. For #4, I can see being the bigger person if the 20 year old apologised. But even if such an apology were sincere, there is no requirement to accept someone into your home that acted that way towards you and your husband for SIX YEARS.

Story 4 - I say, let her in and proceed to be super lovey-dovey with your husband.

Great videos as always and keep up that hard work! Just one question though when is our friendly neighborhood lawyer man coming to do stories again! I love seeing both sides of the stories!

Thank you Mrs. Rogers for a great video of Apples. Thanks for looking out for our health too. :) From a High School student who watches your videos!

I agree with you for each story! Oh oh! Ideas though, you should have an animation go across the screen that's an apple pie 🥧 when all good apples! AND, when all bad apples, make a stinky pie animation lol! 😂 Just a fun suggestion!

I'm not sure how relevant other folks may feel this is, but I had a photo of me graduating from college shared by an estranged grandparent. I was Very uncomfortable with that. They were able to get the photo by a family member I'd reconnected with but shared it with a tag making it seem like they were such a proud grandparent and the comments congratulating them. I was an adult and had no objection to the actual photo, but the who/where/why made it really sketchy and uncomfortable. For my kiddos I'm protective of what is shared, by who, and where. I have a small Facebook that I watch privacy settings on and share photos there but am becoming more... hesitant? As the kids are getting older as where the line is between me sharing about my life and getting support around parenting things vs protecting the kids rights and autonomy. I don't think it's straight forward. I think we can look at certain things and go, "Oh no that is not appropriate". But I think knowing what the "right thing is" is much more difficult.

"Let's not forget where my family comes from, okay?" When I tell you I GASPED! That was the perfect response!

For the first story, OP is definitely a good apple. I am not a parent. I am a former teacher and I was the adult sibling to child sibling. I was in high school when the internet started to be used in schools for research purposes and did my college bachelors thesis using traditional and digital research. My little brother grew up with the internet growing with him. By the time he was about 8-9 years old Facebook and smart phones were becoming popular. My mom looked to me to educate her about technology. I told her to be careful with what information she gives out because the internet wasn’t a safe place for kids. Catch a Predator was a popular show. Since my brother was old enough to give his opinion on what he wanted to be made public. My mom felt that she had a right to share what she wanted on her account and it was safe because she had her privacy set to friends. It took one post being commented on by a stranger for her to realize the danger. From that point on my brother was given the final say on anything he was mentioned or pictured in. If he asked for a post to be taken down my mom advocated for his wishes to be honored.

I totally agree with all 4 stories, 4 good apples

this is nice to watch while sick 🥣🤧

I manage a Vape shop. You have to be over 21 with a physical id just to be inside the store and if a group comes in and even one of them doesn't have an id, they all have to leave and we can't serve them. We have to turn away kids all day who come in trying to buy stuff. Someone has to teach these kids that they aren't grown and that these things aren't good for you or cool or a trend to be followed. Its dangerous. They're still growing and developing. They don't need these things and it won't hurt them to wait until they're 21. I don't feel bad for children who lose their vapes. They shouldn't have them in the first place. Were also extremely over the disrespect and our time being wasted by them coming in knowing we can't serve them. Were already busy and don't need people wasting our time. I've actually been cussed out by angry parents and grandparents for not letting them buy for their kids.

17:39 as a student, we have people CONSTANTLY vaping in the bathrooms. It is so annoying, and I feel disgusting after seeing them do it. But also, I personally always choose to ignore it and not meddle in that business. I don't really think there was an issue with her telling the cops. Good apple, but I would not personally have done the same thing

~Each Apple I’m Going To Comment Separately So I Don’t Have To Worry About Retyping lol~ *Apple #4:* GOOD APPLE NEVER EVER Apologize For Being Yourself & NEVER Lower Your Boundaries In Your Own Home…. Yours & Your Husband’s Home Is Supposed To Be Your Oasis From The Drama & BS Of The World & Where You Feel 100% Comfortable As Yourselves. The Niece’s Mom (SIL) Is A Crab Apple Saying It’s Ok To Bring Her Daughter Who Is CLEARLY Homophobic Into Her BIL & Husband’s Home PERIOD.

Story #3, I understand that this is probably not the case but keep this in mind because of who wrote the POV: in high school my boyfriends ex girlfriend put a vape in my locker and then told the disciplinarian to try to get me suspended. Thank god they checked the cameras when I kept insisting it wasn't mine 😅, again this probably wasn't the case here but just some food for thought.

The biggest danger in regards to social media is that you never know if someone is who they say they are, i know this from experience. When i first got a phone i was 14, and at that age i was naive, and didnt fully understand the danger of social media. I wasnt careful and encountered a pedo on both facebook and snapchat. Things could have gone horribly sideways, and i still worry about it. Parents and kids out there, please be careful with what you share online

My house got flooded last week, 😢(noticing the title)

Apple time! Love it! I agree, 4 good apples.

1. Good Apple 2. Good Apple both OP and Husband 3. Crab Apple 4. Good Apple all around

Story #1: I’m a parent who is cautious of what of my children goes online. We are fine posting some pictures of our kids on our personal social medias, but because the Internet is huge and scary we are pretty picky of what pictures do go on. We don’t share their names (they each have a “nickname”. And we never share personal information like birthdays. And we ask our family to check with us before posting any pictures. Several years ago, my grandmother (the great-grandma to my kids) posted pictures without my permission and I had to talk to her about why we need her to ask us first and to never use their names. I’m not sure she truly understood, but after a couple of times of talking to her, she now always asks first. The Internet is huge and there are so many crazy people out there, so it’s totally fair to be cautious. It’s not us being scary, but being cautious and protective. And I don’t want them to look online one day and be like, “mom, why’d you post that? I hate that.” When they are old enough to understand and consent to their pictures being posted, I will ask them, but they are young and don’t understand the Internet yet. Also, it’s totally okay if you personally don’t care. And it’s okay because some people don’t share pics and names, or just share pics, or just will post their name but no pics. Whatever you do is okay. But if people are questioning you and think you are crazy, then you need to stand up and advocate for yourself and your child.

I'm a mom and a grandparent, I used to put pictures of my kids up all the time years ago, one day my son who was like 14 at the time asked if I Could stop, he didn't want any pictures of him on the internet. I said ok from that day forward, I never put pictures of my kids on the internet unless they say yes you can share that picture on FB/IG or text it to so-and-so. If they say no, it's fine, I save it. With my granddaughter, I as her mom if I can share a picture or video, I do whatever she wants. I feel I have NO right to put anyone's picture on the internet without their permission, blood related or not.

Ok... i love this channel ❤

Story 2: agree on good apple We have to remember our tastes change with age. I am not attracted to the same type of people I was 10 ago. As we grow we start cherishing different things more. We also learn what doesn't work for us. And the fact that OP's husband didn't stay long with any of the high school girlfriends means that neither of them was really "his type". He married a woman he clearly loves and cherishes (standing by her side) and that means she is his type at the end of the day.

Right on with story #1 and 2😊 Maybe crab apple for story #3 due to your reasons

As a grandparent, it is ABSOLUTELY NOT up to me whether or not I can post my grandchildren on the Internet. I respect my daughter and her husband and will honor their wishes. It's best for all concerned.

Wow. At the start of some of these I really thought I was gonna go bad apple, but no. I just totally agree with you this week.

From the title im just like.. "am I the bad apple for losing my home in a flood?"

I am a parent of a 22 year old and a 19 year. I'm also a grandmother. I always ask my daughter before I post anything about her baby. I even waited for her to announce her pregnancy before I posted how excited about being a grandma. Posting the babies birth date is inappropriate especially for a stranger. I'm going with good apple for the mom.

Love your content ❤❤❤❤

Right now my stomach and esophagus are having a similar reaction that Rebecca would have when she's reminded that for a lot of people that's the exact opposite of "well" wishes.

bro I had everything boz on and as soon as he said yeah i clicked on this video and she says hold on at the same time

Story #1 I am a parent of a child who is constantly mistaken as being older than she is. I mean this as she was not even a tween yet and mistaken as a 20 year old. I am very careful on who can see pictures of her on the internet. Nothing that shows where we are or what we are doing. I say good on the mom for keeping her child safe. Do what feels comfortable for their household.

20:33 they started doing this at my middle school this school year 🫠

MY Mr. Johnson was my 7-8th grade Science teacher and he was 9ne of my favorites. My 1st, 3rd-5th, 3 of my 7th grade, all of my 8th grade teachers were all my favorites. And that in only Ele-middle. They were the best and treated me wonderfully. I just wish I was better behaved...

Apple #1 - My daughter asked me not show my grandsons face on social media. I have no problem with that as a Mimi.

Apple picking day

Honestly I find it funny you brought up a Mr Johnson because I had a Mr Johnson in high school and was such a hard teacher to work with

I am a grandmother who hates that my grandchildren are put on Facebook by their parents. I have worked in mental health and in the prison. Their is just so many more predators out there than people realize. However, I’m a grandparent and it’s not my decision. I am not the parent. If I was there would be a big problem with someone else putting them on Facebook.

The story about the vape - I would not say anything , don’t throw someone under the bus for that! OP wasn’t the teacher. She wanted her cousin to get in trouble . Girl with the vape wasn’t hurting anyone other than herself in the long run

Story #4 The deciding factor for me is that nobody is apologetic for the daughter's actions. Multiple people are making excuses. It's not safe for them to let her stay there. Odds are the daughter is going to do things and say things against them. Not the bad apple.

With you 100% on the all good apples.

I don't allow any of my kids info online. We ask everyone not to post pictures or details of them. We grew up without our image being public and I'd like to maintain that as long as possible for my kids.

As a mom and educator, I used to post about my kids to friends and family only. But that all changed when some random person, called my cell and accused me of falsely claiming to be related to him. I had no idea who this was or what he was talking about. He knew where I lived and he was threatening to sent the cops to my house. It was bizarre. It turns out he had just done an internet search on his ex-wife and my name had come up as a possible connection (completely not related in anyway). We wound up calling police who got in contact with him and said to not attempt to contact me or my family in anyway otherwise we’d need to escalate the situation legally. Since then, my accounts are all under a fake name, and photos of my kids are not shared. Too many crazy people out there. Instead we share photos and videos directly via text to specific people.

I hope your for you page is full of cute animals too!!!❤️

Story 1: I love posting a few cute family photos online with my daughter in them, but i keep it on private chats or profiles. My in laws aren't online, and my parents work in IT so i trust they have their online security down. I have however seen this go bad so i try to be carefully even if i trust the people around me. A family friend posted her then 12 yr old daughters first ever love letter to a boy on Facebook, lanughing about how cute young love was. She was friends with the parents of hwr daughters classmates! It was lucky non of them saw. Her oldest have turned 18 recently and have gone no contact with his mom. I just try to support the two younger kids until they get their freedom too.

No one has a right to post my children's pictures on the internet. My children's schools are strictly told only in school on the school website, nothing on school trips, and nothing externally, only internal photos. When photos are taken for external use, they either have to blur out their faces if names aren't attached or my children can't be in the photo.

Apple number 2: Apologizing when you aren't in the wrong can have a negative affect if the in-laws have any mental health problems. It can falsely reaffirm that they were right and do more damage to the relationship. Also standing up for yourself isn't wrong.
