I am so proud of my two little girls , who are not twins but happen to be so close in age ( 12 months ) that they do appear to be twins . They play make believe all day and I enjoy when they just play and not constantly watching television . But in their spare time they spend a lot of time on youtube (kids) yes there is a difference.
I never knew that I could film them playing with their toys and make millions of dollars. Who knew that this could even happen? And why didn’t anyone tell me back in the 80’s when I made up all those songs in the bathroom while my Dad yelled at me to stop the madness. Listen people if I had known I could make money filming myself, I would film all of these conversations I have with my Mom while I’m still in the bed and she is excited about what she’s talking about and I still have one eye shut. I bet that could make a lot of money. Heck it is not too late , stay tuned.
Anyway back to the matter at hand…my children are obsessed with these youtube stars Nya and Ellie and although they are some of the cutest girls I have ever seen I wonder what type of affect are they truly having on my baby girls . For an example, PK and Cuppie don’t even call themselves by their given names instead they refer to each other as Pkya and Cullie , yes its a play on the other girls name. They play make believe all day which isn’t too far out of the ordinary , the problem is , the play doesn’t stop in church at the grocery store, at the salon , at the nail shop, the dentist and suddenly Pkya has invited this journey into make believe to her kindergarten class. And that’s where I had to draw the line .
Not only do we have Nya and Ellie we have other grown women that dress up in outfits and film themselves playing with different toys. Am I the only person who thinks that that some kind of unfulfilled dreams that they are living out and because of that am I wrong for not allowing my kids watch these weird youtube videos? Another weird thing is these adults who film themselves playing with dolls, puppy surprises, and surprised eggs. Because I am a hover mom I do watch the videos and I have been just a little shocked to watch as spider man and barbie became parents and actually had a spider baby. Now remember these are adults. I guess its adults who write and produce these cartoons that are so adult too.
I would like to hear your feed back what do you think about this new sensation? Please comment
Loving life!
