"Controversial things we do as parents" is the title of a video that TikToker Lottie Weaver just uploaded.

Some of them, the mother revealed, include normalizing PDA with her spouse in their home and, gasping, not raising her children as religious.

The mother continued by saying that she helps her girls with their math homework in addition to other things.

"I will help do my kids' homework with them," Lottie revealed.

“I know every parent like helps, but if my kids are busy, or if they're rushing, or whatever, I will do it.”

"Because I'm not going to have them stress over four fr*ckin' math problems that they don't have time to do or whatever."

She continued: "I'll do it! Screw it! I mean, it may not be right, but I will help.”

The mother went on to say that some of their tasks are just too difficult for her kids, on top of the time limitations.

"And I do a majority of their projects for them because some of these projects these teachers give... like they're seven years old,” she concluded.

Lottie, where were you during my exam period?

Many parents acknowledged in the almost 350,000-view video that they provide more than just a helping hand with homework.

One person wrote: “I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does my kid's homework when they have other things going on lol.”

Another said: “The parents should be a team and the kids should be a team! You’re doing the right thing!!!”

A third commented: “You are so relatable. Not only in my life as a mum but my mum also. I remember when she would do my Spanish homework for me. Barely passed.”

While another shared: “100 percent agree!! But I also don’t understand the concept of hw [homework] when they are literally in school for seven hours to begin with.”

Numerous people also complimented the mother for her parenting style, with one writing: “This is such an amazing parent. I aspire to be like this when I’m a mum.”

While another said: “I want to be just like you when I’m a mum.”

Her approach to completing her children's schoolwork as a means of reducing stress has drawn both support and criticism. While some see her actions as a way to support her children, others question whether it fosters independence and personal responsibility.
