This woman’s mother, like many people, is completely addicted to TikTok. According to her, all her mom does is lay in bed, scroll through the app, and watch videos all day.

While she doesn’t necessarily care about that, though, she does care about her 4-year-old daughter being exposed to the platform.

Apparently, her mom will hand her daughter the cell phone and just let her daughter scroll through videos.

“And lately, I noticed my daughter just wants to lay there and scroll through her TikTok and watch funny cat videos or whatever,” she explained.

“Just sitting there, mindlessly scrolling, glued to the screen.”

She cannot stand that this habit is forming, either. She does not want her daughter to be on social media at all.

That’s why she wound up telling her daughter that TikTok was no longer allowed, and she instructed her daughter to give the phone back. Still, her daughter wasn’t cool with that and threw a tantrum, yelling, “I want to watch TikTok!”

This pushed her to snap at her mom, who she believed was the root of the issue.

“I told my mom I don’t want my daughter watching TikTok anymore. That this is just the beginning, and I don’t want her to get addicted,” she recalled.

Her mom didn’t really take her concern seriously, though, pointing out how her daughter was just enjoying some funny cat videos.

Still, while she realizes it’s all just fun and games for now, she knows that platforms like TikTok are highly addicting.

“And I don’t want my 4-year-old already begging me to watch [freaking] TikTok,” she reasoned.

Well, this prompted her mom to accuse her of being a “psycho,” and she just doesn’t understand why her mom thinks she’s crazy.

“I get in our world, kids are gonna have this [stuff] shoved in their face all throughout their lives eventually,” she vented.

“But if I can help it right now, I do not want my kid on that.”

Regardless, ever since her mom called her crazy for not wanting her 4-year-old daughter on TikTok, she’s been left wondering whether she’s really in the wrong.

Do you think 4 years old is too young to be on social media? Can you understand why she doesn’t want her daughter to develop a social media habit at her age? Do you agree that she’s “psycho,” or is she just looking out for her child?
