Mei Preramya Addresses Controversy: Netizens Call for Returning Monet’s Childhood

What started as an ordinary situation suddenly turned into a heated debate. Mei Preramya, a capable mother, faced intense backlash for allegedly "using her child to earn money", which led to the hashtag #ReturnMonet’sChildhood trending online and sparking discussions around 育儿责任. In response to these criticisms, Mei decided to open up and share her side of the story.

I’ve done my best to adapt to my child’s needs; I can never force him to do anything against his will. He eats whenever he feels hungry, skips brushing his teeth if he doesn’t want to, and walks around freely whenever he likes. When there are many clients or a heavy workload, I handle those situations just like I would with regular clients. If people truly care about him, wish him well, and love him, they should see these work opportunities as a form of freedom for him—this part-time job pays 30,000 Thai baht per hour, and whoever wants to hire him can pay that rate, while those who don’t can pass. Instead of criticizing, people should be happy for him because this is a rare opportunity in our country where he could potentially earn 3 million or even 10 million Thai baht.

My child may sleep 3, 4, or even 5 times a day, and sometimes he stays in bed longer than usual, but I’ve tried my best to arrange everything optimally around his schedule. He also takes naps at noon, and he can sleep whenever and for as long as he wants, all based on what works for both of us. Posting this response isn’t meant to gain sympathy or seek specific answers. I don’t believe those who repeatedly post hundreds of comments are acting out of genuine concern. If someone really wants to know more, they should leave polite messages instead of spamming. I can’t command him to do anything; he eats when he wants, goes out for walks when he feels like it, and I never force him to do anything in life because he’s still so young. It all depends on the workload, and if you love him, you should be happy for his opportunities. If he becomes really popular and gets year-round work, I won’t take any jobs next month—I’ll raise the rates and be more selective about which projects to accept. Why take on so much work to tire myself out? Only those who are willing to pay the competitive rate will get my services, and I’ll turn down others because I can’t handle the pressure anymore. Just see this as my way of loving him.
