Mum shares how she was labelled a bully after posting a video of her son attempting to eat a banana with floaties on.

Many people accused Kate of being a horrible mother, and told her that she should be ashamed of herself and that she should never have reproduced.

Why? Well for one reason because her son has a red face!

Kate tells Kidspot,”I completely understand that people are concerned and make the assumption that he is sunburnt, but he has incredibly sensitive skin and was teething at the time (certainly not sunburnt). Even when I went on to explain this person still claimed that I was lying.”

She added, “Some were claiming my son was malnourished (please, look at him) while others were just saying that I was cruel, terrorising him. Let me just be clear, he got out of the pool to take my banana from me, which I let him do, obviously.”

“How did a 30-second video about a little boy attempting to eat a banana make people so angry? If anything, it teaches him persistence or problem solving, to try a different option. Resilience, determination and stamina. Come on!”

  • I’d be frustrated too if I was restricted. Don’t make fun of the kid on social media though.

  • Perhaps not a great idea to put it on social media knowing you will get negative comments.

  • I have to admit my first thought before reading the article was he had got sunburnt which can happen just from the reflection of the water or even any reflection..
    Be aware that you baby could be allergic to the sunscreen you are using. I’m speaking from experience on this matter. I know a young girl who had suncreen on because they were going to go out but decided to stay home in complete shade under a sheltered verandah behind a solid wall. Her skin went bright tomato red, even more so on her ears and the small gap in the back of her dress. She was taken to the Dr. because they thought it was something really serious – like a disease.
