A TikTok video of Alexandra Sabol serving her one-year-old daughter doughnuts for breakfast has gone viral, amassing over 12.3 million views and igniting a heated debate about parenting standards. While some criticized her for offering an “unhealthy meal,” calling her a “lazy parent,” others came to her defense, highlighting the double standards in online parenting judgment.
Critics argued that preparing eggs and fruit would have been a healthier, easier option, while supporters, including TikTok user Bailey McPher, pointed out how popular mom influencers are rarely scrutinized for similar choices. McPher emphasized that no parent is perfect every day, and occasional treats like doughnuts shouldn’t define someone’s parenting abilities.
The debate underscores a larger issue: the intense scrutiny mothers face on social media. With public trust in influencers and parenting content at an all-time high, the conversation continues about realistic motherhood, digital judgment, and the pressure to appear “perfect” online.
