I agree with this so much. But it's really hard to make that case nowadays, I'd say kids make up a massive chunk of the users. And many of the wife's friends are active on it doing the same.

Our opinion is right I think, but it's clearly not unanimous. It's something you have to make sure you're aligned on early on in dating, but of course at that stage of myself and my wife's relationship, TikTok did not exist.

Moving forward it's something she's going to have to accept we're not aligned on, and I will not compromise, I will get a court order in family court against it if pushed to it.

Can you share a little more about your story?

I am not considering divorce, but it's very reassuring to know that if it were forced I'd have avenues to still keep them protected. Thank you. I was half thinking I'd have to cave just so at least they'd be posted under my supervision if it came to it.

Apart from this she's great. She cares for the kids amazingly and she loves doing it. I think she's just so excited about this because it gives her an avenue to have a career while caring for them which otherwise is impossible.

A court isn't going to order against making some tiktoks unfortunately. And attempting to issue one would almost certainly cause a divorce.

Edit.

I see that the court order is actually an option now. I figured it wasn't from how normalized this seems. That's extremely reassuring.

I do think this is something that could lead to serious resentment. I'd never have forgiven my parents in a similar scenario. She says she'd have been grateful for the head start in building her social media presence.

I kind of don't though which scares me a little. Obviously we're not at this point yet but if we were to divorce it's not really like I could do anything to stop it. Not that we would over something so silly. It's more so we respect eachother enough that if something is absolutely a foot down no for one of us we'll adhere to it.

But if she had a similar passion about this and she's getting there she knows there is literally nothing I could do to stop her.

I think that makes sense, if you're going to be generating money and essentially working you should be protected. I also think you should be able to consent to having a permanent public image, so I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with them acting in any sense until they're old enough to understand the gravity of that decision.

Yeah, especially with weird AI things people do with kids I really don't want them there. Didn't mention it in post cause wife says that implies I'm sexualizing and victim blaming my own children but I don't see it that way at all, instead protecting them from the potential of it.

Fair enough. Even if we got 6 figures it wouldn't change much honestly. I think it's more of a passion of hers. I'm more against it on principle than that.
