A video of a baby stroller left outside unattended sparked conversations about the practice of letting babies nap alone in cold weather. Australian TikTok user, Olly Bowman uploaded a video titled, "Another day in Norway, another group of babies left out alone in the cold." In the video, Bowman films himself and a group of baby strollers lined up on the street behind him. No parents were seen in the frame. "It helps with their breathing and makes them more independent," he said. As reported by Insider, social media users were shocked at the concept, with many interpreting this as a positive that parents feel comfortable leaving their children unsupervised without worrying about any possible danger.

Two months ago, the phrase “eldest daughter syndrome” started to go viral. It seemingly began with a TikTok video from Kati Morton, a licensed marriage and family therapist, that spawned countless tweets, Instagram posts, clubs, hashtags (#BigSisEnergy), think pieces, and yes, even merch. The reason for its virality can be debated, but more likely than not, it’s because being the eldest daughter is a hyper-relatable, shared experience that spans geographies, ages, incomes, and creeds. Morton herself said she felt it resonated “because it spoke to people about a specific issue that they couldn’t put their finger on.”
