UK Mum Sparks Debate with 'Controversial' Parenting Rules on Birthdays and Homework

A UK-based mother, known as FAITH COE, has shared her parenting philosophy in a recent viral video, sparking discussion among viewers. While applying makeup, the mother of three outlined two 'controversial' practices she implements in her household. Firstly, she revealed that she does not give her other children presents on a sibling's birthday. Her reasoning is to ensure the birthday child receives undivided attention and focus on their special day, fostering a sense of individual celebration. Secondly, she stated that she does not force her young children, aged four, five, and six, to complete homework after an eight-hour school day. She believes that after a full day of learning, children should have time to relax. Homework is optional, and she supports them if they choose to do it, but she doesn't enforce it. She also touched upon not forcing her children to hug others if they are unwilling. The video concludes with the mother asserting that she is not claiming to be a perfect parent, but merely sharing her personal approach to raising her children.
