Nobody wants to be cancelled – least of all by their own child. But it happens.
I was speaking recently to one parent of two teenage girls. She relayed a conversation she’d had with one of her daughters who had mentioned ‘the f slur’. Not knowing immediately which word she was referring to, her mother made a suggestion out loud, at which her child apparently screamed “Oh my god, Mum you can’t say that!” and stormed out of the room.
