Raising children under the watchful eye of millions on TikTok is never easy. But for Colorado native Emily Wallace, the scrutiny is a trade-off she’s willing to accept because, as she puts it, “It’s important that people that have empathy can see what (other) people write.”
Emily and her husband, William, are raising six children: Harrison, 12, Wyn, 11, twins Griffin and Sawyer, 9, Posey, 8, and Lindy, 7. Their TikTok account documents the ups and downs of raising a large family in contemporary America. Most of their videos are lighthearted — opening toys, swimming, or everyday family moments. But a recent video about preparing for a summer road trip exploded to more than 28 million views, bringing with it an avalanche of criticism.
