Martha Kalifatidis faces criticism over parenting video

Reality TV star and influencer Martha Kalifatidis has faced social media backlash following a TikTok video in which she was seen raising her voice at her three-year-old son, Lucius. In the footage, Kalifatidis, who is also caring for her five-month-old daughter, Sunday, tells her son to ‘stop screaming in her face’ and to leave the kitchen after he began interacting loudly with his infant sister.

While some followers criticized her parenting style as being too harsh, many others defended her, citing the challenges of being overstimulated while managing a newborn and a toddler. Kalifatidis responded to the criticism with a follow-up video, mockingly addressing the ‘perfect parents’ on the internet who were judging her online.
