Disney stories are actually quite morbid
So I have a Disney book subscription and they send a mystery book each month, we received Bambi this month and I proof read before I read to my baby and I realised it’s quite shocking?? Like the idea of the mother being absent or dying, and I realised a LOT of Disney stories have a dead mother - Aladdin, Snow White, The little mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo and even more!
I’m actually quite disgusted I don’t want my child to be normalised to the idea of mothers leaving or dying so I will definitely be writing over the pages to change the stories to INCLUDE the mother!
(Maternal attachment is crucial for babies, providing a secure foundation that fosters healthy brain development, emotional regulation, and resilience)
Just wanted to point this out to other mums who also might think like me
