Amber Hollingsworth breaks down a Ruby Franke parenting clip where Franke says children "don't get personal space" in her home and she needs to "know everything about you." The segment asks viewers to identify which parenting practice crosses the line.
If you've ever parented anybody over the age of about 10 years old, you've probably pulled out the old as long as you live under my roof statement. And hey, sometimes you just have to establish who's the boss. But sometimes that gets taken just a little too far. Take a look at this clip from that 8 passenger mom who was recently arrested. Ruby. Frank, I want to know where in this statement do you think she crosses the boundary line?
No. In this home you don't get personal space because this is my space because I'm the parent. If you want your own personal space, you'll need to get your own space. This is mine. And as long as you're living in my home, it is my job to know everything about you. You don't get to sneak, you don't get to hide. You don't get to have secrets. Not in my house. Do you see how loving that is? Now, if you're in distortion, you're reeling right now. If you're in distortion, you're ready to pull your hair out right now.
Do you think it was A you don't get personal space, B it's my job to know everything about you, C C you don't get to have secrets, or D that big gaslighting bomb you threw on at the end.
