Parents fume after mum writes 'insulting message' on her toddler's lunch

Parents have blasted a mum after she wrote an 'insulting note; on her daughter's dinner - but others have rushed to defend her.

An anonymous TikToker was branded the 'world's worst mum' after uploading a controversial video to the social media site.

Titled 'when your toddler won't nap', the video shows the parent serving a meal of cucumbers, tomatoes, and some kind of biscuit to her daughter, reports the Mirror.

But on the biscuit, in bright, colourful letters, she'd written 'd**k head', and now people have blasted the anonymous woman for the 'joke' saying that it was cruel.

The video, uploaded to the account @fophii, has been viewed over three million times and attracted thousands of comments.

One user said: "Why is it in to be anything but nice to children? Like I don’t get it and I’m glad I don’t."

Then a second wrote: "This trend is a little mean, but this toddler seems a little mean too so whatever it just evens out."

And a third added: "Am I the only person that thinks this trend is a little cruel? Like I get the humour, but still."

"Would you send your kid to daycare or preschool with a lunch box note like that?" Asked a third. "Hmmm I think not because you know it’s wrong."

But not everyone disagreed with the mum's actions and some thought that if it made her feel better then it was fine.

One wrote: "Look, if writing that on your toddler's food helps you stay calm enough to be a good mum in ways she does understand, do it!"

"I'm old school and flip my kid off when her back is turned," added a second user.

And a third added: "Do we love our kids? Yes. Do we like them? No."
