The breakfast had many people in shock, with some calling the TikTok mother a “lazy parent” and accusing her of giving her child an unhealthy meal. Others told her that making eggs and fruit would have taken less effort and been more nutritious at the same time.
Sabol’s video was filled with negative comments that went as far as calling her a “bare minimum” parent. People insinuated that her baby deserved more and told the mother that she needed to do better. “This can’t be real,” reacted a commenter.

McPher spoke about the double standards that were taking place as the “Doughnut Mom” saga unfolded. She pointed out that people were most likely to criticize a mother, like Sabol, who did not have the biggest following or meet the expected beauty and body standards of the well-known mom influencers.
The TikTok user continued to emphasize that there are many times when influencers have filled their shopping carts with groceries worth hundreds of dollars and have some of the unhealthiest items. But since they are deemed as “skinny,” it is easy to overlook these things and notice it in the mother, who is authentically showing a day in her life.
McPher realized that Sabol was being judged for one video and wished people had looked through her profile before making her out to be a “bare minimum” parent.
The TikToker was saddened at the mean comments Sabol received and admitted that as she went through the comment section, she unfollowed other mutual mothers who were being unkind and judgmental towards Sabol.

McPher urged people to introspect. She reiterated that writing off people as bad parents only added to the judgment mothers endured and made it difficult for others to showcase some of the realistic and not-so-perfect moments in their lives.
