Mother puts ankle weights on 18-month-old who is too fast. She called it a joke but not everyone agreed

A mom on TikTok decided to make a little humorous content with her 18-month-old toddler — and 100 million views later, things got a little out of hand. Farryn Mathie is the first person to admit that parenting can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with her son, the issue is simply that he’s too fast. So one day, she jokingly put ankle weights on him and posted the video online.

Mathie told People that her son, Milo, had always been noticeably faster than other toddlers his age whenever they were socializing. Other parents would apparently point it out to her and her husband in passing. Naturally, that came with the challenge of constantly keeping an eye on him to make sure he stayed safe while playing.
