Dad Has Two Times As Many Followers As Daughter After Replacing Her Racist Selfies

How would you handle the situation if you discovered that your high school daughter is sharing provocative selfies on social media? Conventional wisdom suggests asking her to take them down, confiscating her phone, and grounding her as a consequence. However, many parents are aware that such punishments can sometimes backfire and lead to even more rebellious behavior.

Every parent has a unique approach to raising their children. Instead of simply instructing his daughter to cease posting risqué selfies on Instagram, Chris Burr Martin opted for a more unconventional response. Rather than engaging aggressively, he decided to respond with a touch of humor—by recreating his daughter’s provocative selfies with comical ones.

We must navigate these situations with grace. Unconditional love and support should be the foundation of our relationship with our children without resorting to shaming. Finding a balance, offering guidance, and hoping that they make informed decisions are essential components of parenting.

We previously highlighted Chris Burr Martin, a 48-year-old father of three from Washington, who humorously mimics his daughter’s sexy selfies, adding a dad-joke twist to teach her a lesson. Beyond the amusing jests, his approach gained traction, and he managed to playfully embarrass his daughter, Cassie, by amassing 60,000 Instagram followers—almost double her count. Undoubtedly, his efforts are noteworthy. Take a look at Chris’ amusing and cheesy jokes and actions below and choose your favorites.

In any situation we face as parents, giving our best effort is paramount, as it will always be sufficient for our children.
