Consent and My Daughter | That Dang Dad

Loving these videos Phil!

This was my essentially my stance on circumcising my son. He cannot consent and I don’t want to do something as traumatic and permanent just for him to regret it later.
I’m on my second so having a second go of it all has opened my eyes to how little control children have. Mostly for their benefit however, I don’t think their voices and opinions are given the weight they deserve.

Really enjoying your videos 😁

I think that's a good call. I think embarrassing photos are sort of a right of passage but they should never be shared without consent... hell I gave up putting my things up on Facebook because who knows what people will do, let alone 20yrs from now if I want them scrubbed. Then again... I'm a sucker for analog so maybe that's just my Gen Y showing.

I don´t have kids but if i had i would not put pictures up of them on the internet, especially if i where a public person. At least not without their concent. So yeah id wait

as a 19 year old who still remembers the times when my relatives would bother me to pls show up in more pictures i think ur right here, everyone should have a right to consent or not consent to as much as possible and no consent should be presumed if someone is not able to give it.

The topic of children's consent is difficult, because we as a society rely on their parents to give consent for them in medical areas and trust that their parents will do what (they think) is best for their children. I think the question of posting children's photos online before they can consent has no good answer, but a helpful guideline would be that parents can consent in their child's stead, but that children deserve dignity. So, posting the photo of your daughter vomiting all over herself violates her dignity now, irregardless of how she may feel about that photo in the future, but posting a photo of her smiling, or her first steps, still protects her dignity and also allows you as her parent to celebrate her with others.

I don't have children so I don't know if this means anything but it's something I've been thinking about as a person who grew up just before everyone started sharing every photo moment online and who also has (at least one) embarrassing naked baby picture that I would never want on the internet. Children deserve to have their dignity preserved and their privacy guarded.

I have an interesting thought on this. Some of my wife's gen-x friends got cool onesies or shirts for their kids to wear when they were really little. I know it might seem silly to harp on this but....I don't think your baby likes Black Flag. In fact I think Black Flag would probably literally scare the shit out of your baby.

I: You sound like such a wholesome parent; kudos, and keep it up, sir. It´s truly heartwarming ^^

ps: I agree with your stance in this video - but don´t all babies look the same anyway? /half-joking

Of course, not literally, since there are bigger and smaller differences in facial features, skin tone, and the posibility of birth defects - but aside from that, most people´s photo as a "fresh" baby would be virtually indistinguishable in essence from millions of babies in other photos. But I can´t talk for anyone as to how much something like that would matter to them in particular, and why/why not, though I would be curious to know

100% overthinking it
And I think you’re probably exactly right too.
So stick that in your pipe and …you deal with it buddy!
Seriously in a world of people that just don’t think, overthinking has more value than it used to, it’s just often detrimental to those that overthink…
Cheers

I haven’t liked a vid in like 2 years… it sparkled and flashed…god that was rewarding!
To think I’ve been denying myself…

yo, brev, what about child actors, especially those child actors acting out embarrassing situations. Should there be child actors at all
