It's no secret that we use the term "trauma" a little excessively these days. While it's true that someone can be traumatized by seemingly innocuous things, the rate at which internet users publicly accuse strangers of traumatizing their kids is mind-boggling. If you're a mom who works instead of staying home, you're traumatizing your kid. If you let them watch TV as toddlers, you're traumatizing them and making them stupid. If you let your 5-year-old watch your baby while you pee for approximately 90 seconds, you're parentifying her and traumatizing her. There's just no winning if you have a trauma-obsessed fixation on strangers.
One mom recently went viral for her tweets about feeding her kids a charcuterie board dinner every Tuesday. She teaches a class that night and doesn't have time to cook dinner. Despite feeling guilty about not cooking, it was her kid's favorite weekly dinner! That didn't stop one Twitter user from accusing her of traumatizing and gaslighting her kids.
