The great mum divide: should we show our kids online? | Witching Hour

Welcome back to Witching Hour – the show where two mums and sort of cousins figure out how to make work, work. Today on the show:

Should you show your kids’ faces online, or not? What started as a simple privacy decision has become a full-blown cultural divide.
Plus, we chat about women’s rights that are more recent than you thought.

—

In this episode we cover: kids’ privacy online, share-enting and digital footprints, mum-shaming and judgment culture, posting children on social media, online safety for kids, consent and parenting, influencer culture and family content, children’s rights and online boundaries, plus how modern motherhood shapes our digital identity and the pressure mums feel to get it right in every direction.
