Tik Tok mortician DRAGGED for this UNHINGED opinion... 

And since I, probably like others too, believed she had some time of credibility in something after seeing one or two videos where she obviously knew something was dangerous, like one where a baby was in a little floating donut in a large pool and no one holding onto them, but honestlg I thought it was JUST some type of joke, not her giving real advice on things

@@goingferalluvsher credibility went out for me when she decided to police others on pool safety when her own child almost drowned because she didn’t have a pool fence

@@MommaKoala95except her incident happened after she had shamed multiple parents for not having a fence. And then she used her sons near death as sponsored content

I'm gagging. She literally says that the pediatrician is bullying her -_- like, no, she's telling you that you're information is incorrect and biased, because it is.

She’s just a mom, why does she think being a mom makes her an expert on everything? When you give birth, you don’t leave the hospital with a certificate saying “I know everything now bc I’m a mom and I know best” like get real. Idk why she can’t think critically and realize “oh I messed up, what they said is not rude, they’re just informing me” instead she thinks it’s an attack and harassment. Like no, relax. It’s called discourse. God ignorant people make my blood boil.

I love when people feel they get degrees once they birthed something. "Yes, you're an expert but I'm a MOM."

Right? As a parent you’re an expert in YOUR kid(s) - NOT all of child safety. Meaning you know your kid best: you know what foods they like, what time is best for them to go to sleep, what sports they enjoy, what games they like, their favorite movie, their doctors name, their best friends name, etc. You do NOT automatically become an expert in car seats, safe sleep, child education etc. Like common sense come on.

@@sarahenglerstone2814most aren’t even an expert in their own kids

It’s crazy because a lot of parents are this way. Look at the outbreaks of diseases that should have been eradicated generations ago.

THIS

''I need to speak to the manager'' vibes

"I'm a mom" was enough for me

and the podcast is called dumb blonde lol more than fitting XD

i WISH just being a mom was enough to keep kids safe 😭

same energy as ppl thinking they’d be as qualified as I am in building kitchens to code as a designer because they remodeled once. like im glad you have some personal anecdotal experience but this is my job, mary.

At my wits end w/ the whole 'bully movement'. 100% over it. Parents, administrators, etc., who push the idea have lost the plot. Great deal of essentially placing 'blame' on another as opposed to first attempting to employ critical thinking, reason & diplomacy skills. Screaming 'bully' seems to now be above the importance of building a child's esteem. Or providing the child w/ a solid emotional & psychological foundation to build upon so they at least have a chance to know who they are w/ confidence. Guess that's old fashioned, these days? They're actively building castles made of sand w/ foundations laid w/ delicate egos. 😏

@@GemmiRiseacting as if the attack on critical thinking is new is just absurd, I'm sorry. Mom cliques are not new and if anything, other women have way more sympathy and understanding for one another now. Back in the day they'd just freeze you out if you dared to "bully" or call them out on their inability to parent their child who is actually the one bullying other kids. The only difference is that we now have the internet and people have way more mom's to connect with and all of the old wives tales are dying out because...we have the research and data to back up our claims. People like this chick have and likely will always exist, they're just a lot more visible now and have a platform to use. But unlike how it was back then, we can actually go watch the videos of the guy who "bullied" her to see that it's BS🤷🏽‍♀️

Also, as a mother of an almost 3 year old, IVE GOT NO IDEA WHAT IM DOING!! And I happily seek out the opinions of experts in the field of child health and safety.

​@@NixieEpplerit takes a village FOR A REASON

I agree! I’ve followed Jamie Grayson for years. It doesn’t matter at all that he isn’t a parent. He goes in depth on his reviews for things and has always had updated knowledge about baby products.

ALSO it’s like saying if you had a pediatrician who didn’t have kids of their own you wouldn’t take their advice. Like?? Okay he’s not a parent but he’s an expert in the field so 🤷🏼‍♀️

​@@jessicastromberg9903literally! My BIL is a pediatrician and became a doctor before he had kids of his own. It would be so silly for his patients to be like, "oh *you* don't have kids but you went thru almost a decade of school so you don't know what you're talking about sorry"

Exactly just being a parent doesn’t make you an expert in anything

THIS

Literally I’m a parent and I take my kids to the doctors and have the doctor and nurses take care of them because they have medical training and KNOW BETTER THAN ME 😂

I've been a parent 10yrs, my youngest is 8, and I still to this day ring my friend who is a nurse to ask for advice when my daughters sick. Sometimes it's not even advice, it's just me going over her symptoms, what I'm doing and just getting that support and feedback from a professional. I'm completely aware that, because of her training, my friend will be able to see things I don't. Like last year, I told her my child had a stomach ache on and off, but it was getting worse, she got on the phone with me immediately and walked me through this little reflex test to make sure it wasn't an emergency situation, it wasn't, but she heard the symptoms I'd described and knew there was a way to check for something more serious, I didn't previously know this. I followed her advice, monitored my child, thankfully it started to get better over night and the next day we went to the GP. Long story I know, but my point is I didn't train to be a parent, I read as much as I could but I'm certainly not an expert on any particular thing, which is why when someone is certified, especially in such a controlled program like nursing or medical doctorate, damn straight that's who I'm going to listen to and ask questions of and learn from.

Eh idk man theres a bunch of cases of doctors and nurses ignoring their patients or not listening to them. Like that one case where that mom was being harrassed medical staff over her daughters chronic pain to the point they claimed the mom had Munchausenand took her daughter away. The mom ever up killing herself cuz of medical staff not taking her daughters health seriously.

Yeah I thought she was a nicer conservative when I first saw her but my lord she really shows her colors. Calling a man weird for having unused car seats and baby products in his home when it's his job??? We should be glad he even stepped up and took a role in it since it's apparently on a decline like he mentioned

@@goingferalluvsthese days there’s no such thing as a nicer conservative Lol but I get u

@@Gumbyloomy I was really tryna hold out some hope that she was the type to keep her opinions to herself 😭

I think her whole stick doesn't revolve around her being a mortician anymore, she just uses those "big boy words" in order to excuse her facebook-mommy opinions & misinformation that is in fact harmful. "But I'm a scientist!!!!" - Yeah no...

@@Gumbyloomypolitical people in general are headache. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend debate as a career path

Exactly! The video of the guy was not even rude to begin with to incite those kinds of response from them. I honestly wanna tear my ear out when they kept repeating "I'm a Mom." As if being a Mom made them more superior than literal EXPERTS. What an echo chamber

Some people never leave the mean girl mentality

She was also called out for being right wing and following a lot of inflammatory and dangerous accounts. She liked a ton of transphobic posts, so honestly wouldn't be surprised if homophobia is also something she has a bias towards. The whole implication of him being creepy for being in the child safety field, while being a queer man...is coded.

It’s called misandry and homophobia

cancel culture

She also follows a ton of right wing and inflammatory accounts, and liked posts with extremely transphobic content. I wouldn't be surprised if she is a self hating queer person. She says she is bisexual (I'm pansexual), and that is usually seen as the most tolerable identity by straight people, since you can just fall back into comp het norms and not offend the masses.

Not only that but on the podcast that other lady said "he's really in touch with his feminine side" in a snarky way, like what was the point of that comment !?🤔

​@@fullname3982homophobia plain and simple honestly

Literally was just going to comment this under someone else’s comment. Despicable.

Nailed it.

Imagine if such logic was applied to any other circumstance. Like imagine claiming a male doctor is less qualified to deliver a baby because he’s never been pregnant before. Absolute lunacy.

to be fair the mortitian totally gaslighted her and twisted the story so much

dumb blonde is the perfect name for that podcast

In her defense she probably didn't know that part and Lauren made sure to not making it obvious.

@@vvitch-mist20 That reaction was too much anyway

yepp! weird vibes for sure

She follows *a lot* of pretty far right accounts on social media. It’s very sus

Yeah, essential oils were never meant for consumption or medicinal use. Says so right on MANY bottles of them. I love them for aromatherapy and some medicinal purposes (never ingested, but peppermint is diffused for when I have sinus issues, tea tree for congestion, etc) but yeah - big big yikes for people drinking essential oils for “healing”

Really?? Ugh

​@@marigoldmeadowsyeah, I am considered a hippie by my friends and I am definitely more on the semi-anti-medicine-holistic-healing side of opinions but within reason, Science is still King. I don't think meds should be the very first solution in a lot of cases but essential oils for healing? No. 😂 That's like suggesting positive thinking and "healing" crystals to a cancer patient.

If she came across that many accident based child deaths in less than a year, she must have worked in a town with the highest child death rate in the country if not the entire 'developed' world.

She shares stories that her father has experienced as well, not all are hers and she does disclose that

her family owns a funeral house and i believe shes stated that shes always been helping her family with that. so shes only been practicing for two years but unofficially shes done what she can

Yall remember that girl who was like 19 and a stripper but had all these crazy stories that more experienced strippers say have never even happened to them? It’s kinda like that.

@@hanna5231it’s not tho. Funeral homes are usually a family business. She watched her dad run their funeral home growing up and then probably did a lot of work prior to getting her degree.

Yeah, and I guess it’s just entirely impossible for cis het people with children to be creeps or predators to children….. oh wait

No, no, no... Don't you remember what she said? She screamed to the world that she's not homophobic or transphobic because she likes people's content that she doesn't actually agree with to show them support. I can't keep the disgust I have for this woman out of my comments anymore. She's vile. Back when I was big into book blogging and was on Bookstagram, I found out I was following somebody who was a right wing ultra conservative religious nut. I followed them for their NaNoWriMo content and didn't really care much about their other posts unless it was a book I read. One day, I woke up to a lot of my followers on Instagram sending me links to this person's recent posts with questions on whether I supported what they were saying. One of their posts was of a picture of the Nazi book burnings in 1933 with an incoherent rant condemning the fact that books written by people of colour, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and by religions outside of their Christian denomination were being published with calls that they should be destroyed alongside the authors who have written them. To say I was disgusted would be an understatement. I quickly unfollowed them and posted an apology to my followers. I did not like any of their disgusting posts. Lauren's excuse that she likes posts because she happens to follow that person is both invalid and moot when you consider the fact that she obviously read through these posts, saw them for what they were, and actively liked them.

moms have clearly never been misinformed, ill equipped, or abusive they just immediately become genius experts the minute their kids are born! /s

👏👏👏👏👏

sCiEnCe Is My JaM

ScIeNcE RuLeS

and shook the camera when she said science as if that was gonna make it mean something

As if morticians are scientists 💀

@@dansyw the field of study is mortuary science... but as someone interested in becoming a mortician... i wouldnt consider myself a scientist in the traditional sense, nor would i brag about my "science" degree. its a different subject, mainly just making embalming fluid, not conducting experiments LOL

Exactly, she's not a doctor. She doesn't do autopsies, nor determines cause of death. She has training in embalming people and putting makeup on them and maybe organizing funerals/viewings with families. She is not certified in any way to "help keep people alive" she literally has two-ish years of experience in making people pretty after they're already dead.

If she was her state's x region pathologist she'd see a lot of children as there's laws that if a child is under 5 when they pass an autopsy is required but she's just a mortician so it doesn't make sense

If she hasn’t practiced in years she probably isn’t even a licensed mortician. We have to continue to pay and practice to keep our license.

The pediatrician was amazing too! Love her

And the way the ladies on the podcast just took what she said and ran with it and started going in on a guy they didn’t even know like…CRINGE

obviously being blonde doesn’t make you dumb but there’s a bit of cruel irony in the podcast being called dumb blondes while they’re spouting all that bullshit. like hun this is a self-fulfilling prophecy

Dude!!! I know. I lost all respect for her. "I'm a mom, I'm a mom!" I get so tired of hearing that.

Literally majority of podcasts now and it’s absurd. Someone in that conversation needs to be either fact checking before the interview or during.

that seems like the general motifs for so many podcasts, just two echo chambers talking to each other. if you take shots to the number of times they say things like "yeah, totally, so true, right?", you'd be drunk half way through those 1-hour talking sessions.

That's why I don't listen or support that particular podcast. She'll have full blown liars on and not bother to fact check a damn thing. She's also an instigator. People haven't realized that yet either. But because she has a pretty face, people support her.

I *hate* podcasters/journalists that don't ever fact check or push back!

This reminds me of that Ulta beauty interview where Virgie Tovar spewed some bs about science and obesity while the interviewer was snapping his fingers as if anything she said makes sense 😂

Also trans men exist

Fr like men have degrees in this stuff too. it’s THEIR JOB to literally know 😅

Small town morticians actually do go to crime scenes for body pickup! There aren’t enough staff members for there to be a separate job for body pickup so the mortician does it themself. At least that’s how it is in small town Texas edit: I also went to school for funeral directing and post mortem care

@@bellamcfaul8259 Well, I learned something new today! That's actually really interesting; now I need to learn more, lol. I'm in a big city, so I guess it's just a different experience:)

@@bellamcfaul8259oh interesting! i live in a small town and our medical examiners still comes to every scene (unless someone just kinda passes in their home of old age). i never knew other little towns did it differently. thank you for this little tidbit (sincerely from someone hoping to be a medical examiner)

​@elly8094 a medical examiner is not the same as a mortician. Medical examiners are forensic pathogists, who are actual doctors. Morticians usually need only 2-4yr degrees and in some places they only need apprenticeship with no formal training.

@@doodlebobsquarepants i know, i have morticians in my family and i’m studying to be a medical examiner. i was saying our medical examiners come to the scene to do body pickup, not the morticians, i found it interesting that their morticians do body pick up for scenes.

As you said in your edit, just wanted to confirm she does think she knows more than paediatrician.

I mean, Andrew Wakefield had a doctorate, so he has to be credible! ...right?

Lmao! She’s probably one who thinks she “does her research” but never took a stats or research methods course and only reads the abstract. 😅

science is such a massive subject that you can study it your whole life and realise you don’t know anything. how does she think a degree in achieve means she understands more than doctors. also… i’m pretty sure a digression in science as a whole does not exist. correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t it usually split up into the pain three? this woman is so weird

​@styrofoam4637 seriously, I mean by her logic a scientist who studies cancer cells is also an expert of physical rehabilitation because they're both scientists and even both medical sciences

I noticed the same😂

Truly. I have a bachelor’s of science in SOCIAL WORK. doesn’t mean I know crap about actual science like this 😂

General Applied Science is a degree, but you'd still say that whole thing prob

I’m a mortician in California. So I know she got a basic mortuary science degree like the rest of us. 😒

completely agree!

@@AngelikaOles and her opinion that only a parents opinion matters is BEYOND wild 🙄🙄

exactly !!! summer walker was literally giving her baby honey

​@@Candicedickinsonllc 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

RIGHT?!?! and thank you so much for the work you do, staff who work to protect children and ensure they have a safe, loving environment to grow up in are literal heroes!!

I mean... Unfortunately, men ARE treated weirdly and poorly whenever they try to work with kids. My mom worked in a daycare center for 10 years, and they outright refused to hire any men at all. Their "reasoning" was that the only reason a man would want to work with children was if he was a predator. It's a really shitty mindset to have, and is incredibly toxic and accusatory.

She is such a liar and she INTENTIONALLY lied and misled the other person on that podcast. She deserves to be dragged soooo much.

I finally got to that part and i was like, what!?!? I have two science degrees, one in Biology and one in a social science and i would NEVER talk about shit i haven’t studied thoroughly especially when it comes to people’s children. Just wild!

Same I literally cringed. I do Biomedical Science and underneath that there's like 10 other courses. Immunology, Biochemistry even Medical Biochemistry. What is Science????

This is so funny because even my business degree is called a “Bachelor’s in applied science” like a degree in science could mean so many things

She's afraid to say the quiet part that her degree in "science" is a 2 year degree. Literally not anywhere close to a degree to give her any credentials to speak on anything other than funeral home practices.

little knowledge is a dangerous thing. she is an epitome of that

The ladies on the podcast were embarassing idiots

the fact that she doesn't actually know what it means either 😭

the way she insinuates that the term is being used to call her crazy too like LMFAO you don’t have to be crazy to form an unhealthy attachment to something

Right! My pediatrician doesn’t have children. & I trust her on medical advice way more than myself as just a mother with no doctorate any day!

and the pediatrician was so polite and well spoken towards her!

why am i not surprised

If they did, she definitely encouraged that assumption with talking about it like she was at the scene like an ME would be

That's so sad. Morticians are not even in the same universe as MEs. A mortician has an AAS (Associate Applied Science) and goes to trade school (WHICH IS FINE), but an ME has an MD and went to Medical School.

irony

as a fellow ScIeNcE degree haver, and former child I can confirm as well; I'm literally God, and am all knowing and all powerful

I have a bachelors of SCIENCE degree (in Accounting) and I’m a mom, so clearly I should start a TikTok account giving advice on care seat safety and vaccines.

She's a damned liar too. The things ppl will do for clout

And don’t forget her undertones of homophobia 🥳

For real!! Plus humans, like animals, take queues from people around them. If the mum is making it into a big deal, they're going to feel like it's a big deal. Maybe your kids are so upset because you call them toxic 🙄 and possibly induce sensory overload with smells, water sensations and loud noises from these detox baths.

So we'll said

Fire stations don’t do that anymore. Some might but the general standard is they don’t. I’m guessing it’s too much of a liability if they sign off on it and then a fatal accident occurs. But many of the moms on my groups have had a hard time finding someone to check their car seats since fire stations won’t do it

How else are they supposed to be the victim? Take that away and they'll have to be... accountable! Ew! 😂

i feel like she was one sentence away from saying “he can’t even have kids! why should his opinion matter!”

Completely the vibe I got

I'm also getting transphobia from the 'men can't carry babies' bit

💗💗

Yes same in my small town; I used to work at an elderly care home and the funeral director and his son who co-owned the only funeral home in town would come pick the deceased up.

I don't think she is or ever was a funeral director. I've heard she barely finished her apprenticeship before leaving

@@vincentwilliamsullivan9112 people do be lying on the internet lmao

@@berks3451 yeah, but it was based on what she herself stated in her tik toks, also I'd rather believe people who actively work in the business, than a delusional tik tok mum

@@vincentwilliamsullivan9112 no I agree lol. I was saying she could still be lying even if some of the things she said were true or partially true
