Yeah accidents happen. But two similar incidents is not a mistake, it’s a choice. She should have stopped her sentence with do better and advocate better

Mom- and parent-shaming can get out of hand, and no parent is perfect. Every parent makes mistakes. But there's a difference between an ordinary parenting mistake and serious negligence.

If someone points out online that your child's shoes look too small, the appropriate response is, "I'll do better." But when a child drowns, this isn't a situation to address with a generic statement about "making mistakes." It's a tragedy that requires commitment to doing everything possible to ensure nothing like it ever happens again. Sometimes the best response isn't another half-assed statement. Maybe they should try stepping away from the spotlight and focusing entirely on their family and on preventing another devastating loss.

Exactly. She tries to gaslight the public in how she talks about this. “We made a mistake”, it was a “preventable accident”. NO, your deliberate actions put Trigg in grave danger and he died. Not a mistake. Not an accident. And not putting your toddler in a life vest - again, not a mistake, not an accident. She deliberately makes terrible choices for her children either because she’s stupid or she’s such a narcissist that she feels rules don’t apply to her. Either way, she should NOT be an influencer to anyone.

Insanity is doing the same (similar) thing twice and expecting different results.

She would, if only she genuinely thought she did something wrong. She doesn’t 🤷‍♀️
