Pink and Carey Hart have had to defend her parenting choices time and time again — today is no exception. The parent-shaming trolls are back on the prowl! This time, because Pink and Carey’s son was seen on a boat without a lifejacket.
Pink and Carey get criticized far more than they deserve on social media for their parenting choices.
Back in April, Pink actually announced she would no longer be posting photos of her kids on social media.
Trolls attacked Pink for not putting a swim-diaper on her son at the beach — and that was the last straw.
She clapped back at the haters in a comment.
“There’s something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there,” she wrote.

“I deleted it because you’re all [expletive] disgusting,” she said.
“And now I’m turning off my comments and shaking my head at the state of social media and keyboard warriors, and the negativity that you bring to other people’s lives,” she wrote.
In an interview on “The Ellen Show”, she explained her decision.
“I cried so hard after that because I like to share my family. It’s my proudest achievement in my whole life,” she said .
“I’m prouder of my kids than anything I’ve ever done.”
“And I won’t share them anymore. I’m not posting pictures of them anymore,” she concluded .
Evidently, that didn’t last.
She posted a photo of her children running through a Holocaust memorial in Germany, which naturally, set off the haters again.
The Holocaust Memorial is probably not the optimal place for children to be running around — so, of course, fans made sure to call Pink out on that, calling her “disrespectful”.
Anyway, it’s happening again.
But this time the heat is being directed toward Pink’s baby-daddy, Carey Hart, after he shared a video of himself on a boat with their son, Jameson, on his lap, lifejacket-less .
Fans seemed genuinely concerned for Jameson’s safety — urging Pink and Carey to put a life jacket on their son.
Most of the criticisms didn’t seem judgemental or unnecessary. People were just straight-up worried.
Accidents do happen!
Other fans were marginally more stern about voicing their concerns — but sending the same message.
They also pointed out the possibility that they took Jameson’s lifejacket off for just a few seconds to record the video.
Another person kindly commented, warning Pink and Carey that accidents happen all the time.
The trouble just does not seem worth the risk of not wearing a lifejacket.
Safety first, people!
This fan first showed Pink and Carey some love before hitting them with some serious knowledge.
Apparently, they can actually face legal repercussions for not putting a lifejacket on their children if they’re under the age of 12.
Like I said — the risk does not seem worth it.
Another fan clapped back at the parent-shaming allegations.
Is it really parent-shaming if they’re simply looking out for the safety of a child?
Shades of grey…
Other fans stuck up for Pink and Carey, brushing off the life jacket comments as being overzealous and self-righteous.
This person actually anticipated the preachy comments.
This person thinks that instead of pointing out the faults of other parents, they should focus on their own faults.
In a nutshell: stay in yo lane .
Let us know what you think of the latest parenting criticisms Pink and Carey have faced.
Should Jameson have been wearing a lifejacket?
Is it better to be safe than sorry?
Or are fans just overreacting?
