Coco received accolades online for her resourcefulness. “Yep! If the sink is big enough… I have a two-year-old, and if he could fit in mine, that’s where he would be most of the time! So I’m not bending over hurting my back, lol,” one viewer commented. “Sink baths are the best,” read another comment.
However, Coco faced criticism for her actions in lengthy and detailed comments. “I’m not jealous; I’m just a mom looking at this as if she is still treating her little girl as a baby instead of as a grown-up young lady. She needs to be in the bathtub like all the other kids,” wrote one mother. “She’s too old to be in the sink… that was really awkward to see,” another commented.
“The problem with all this is there is a place to wash your food, clean your dishes, and there’s a place to wash your butt. … We as parents are supposed to help our kids grow in different areas and stages in their lives. … So there is no excuse of why she shouldn’t be in the bathtub or it’s convenient to be in the sink; that’s a cop-out for being a parent,” another incensed parent wrote.
Coco, however, took the criticism in stride, responding with a clap-back days later: “Wow, just Wow! Here we go again! Giving my little girl a bath in the sink went Viral? SMH! People, you gotta know by now that I’m an unconventional mother. I do what works and is easier on me. Some may want to take some pointers rather than rag on me!”
