346: Should Parents Stop Posting Their Kids?

The hosts of *Correct Opinions* dive into the controversial topic of whether parents should stop posting their kids online, framing it not as a simple privacy issue but as a complex moral and financial calculus. One host argues that sharing children’s lives—especially funny, unembarrassing moments—is not just harmless but strategically valuable: by monetizing their presence, parents can fund Roth IRAs for their kids, potentially growing their future wealth to tens of millions through compound interest. This bold claim reframes parenting content as a long-term investment, not just entertainment. The episode unpacks the emotional weight behind the decision, with one host admitting to mixed feelings about the dark web and potential future resentment, while also acknowledging that their kids are already part of their brand. The conversation evolves into a broader reflection on modern parenting, identity, and legacy—where raising a child becomes intertwined with building a business, a family, and a financial future. The segment is anchored by real listener questions, including a humorous story about training a husband to handle diaper duty by making him pick up dog poop, and a deep dive into the science of pregnancy—like the linea nigra and colostrum—blending humor with genuine insight. The hosts also debate gender dynamics in friendship, the difficulty of making adult connections, and the absurdity of emerging products like protein beer and colostrum soda.
