We Speak. I m Feifei.

And I'm Roy!

Wow, Roy! You've grown your

beard back! I thought you'd shaved

it off. I saw this picture of you on

social media without a beard. Here, look!

That's not me. That's a picture of

my son. He does look like me, but

he's a lot younger than me.

Every picture on here is of your

son! You're really guilty of 'sharenting'.

I am not sharenting! I know what

that means. It's for people who share

way too many photos of their children!

I do not share too much! Besides,

he's really cute!

He is cute, because he looks

like his mother! But you need to

be careful how much your share.

Let's talk more about sharenting

after these examples.

There are many pros and cons of

sharenting. We need to think

about them before we post all

these photos of our children.

He needs to stop sharenting -

I see so many photos of his daughter.

Eric, I'm tired of your constant

sharenting. Aren't you worried

that your son won't be happy

about this in the future?

This is The English We Speak

from BBC Learning English and

we re talking about the expression

'sharenting'. Sometimes parents

who commit sharenting are known

as 'sharents'. Roy, you are a sharent!

Haha I am not! I'm just really proud

of my son. I do agree that you need

to be careful when sharing things

about your children.

Yes, there has to be a barrier

between public and private life.

That's why I only share videos

and photos of him doing things

like playing football. Have you seen

how good he is? He's like

the new Pele!

I have - he's really good.

And I don't think that's sharenting,

and I suppose even though you

post a lot, there's nothing

too personal. So, I'll stop

calling you a sharent.

I think 'sharenting' is related

to too much information. But

we also need to think about

what we post, because in the

future, my son may be very

angry if I embarrass him with

a silly picture of him dressed

up like a giant parrot.

But there is a photo of your

son dressed as a giant parrot!

He looks ridiculous! You

should remove that photo.

That's not my son it's me.

I like dressing in

animal costumes.

He really does look like

you, Roy. Bye!

Bye!
