In the short clip, Aubrey sits in front of the camera with a fresh face and her hair pulled back.
She starts putting on makeup while explaining her controversial rules, inviting people to think she’s crazy because she won’t change their minds.
“No overnight stays, not even with family members,” she says. “And she’s never left alone with a man.
“I don’t care if you’re the grandparent, the uncle, or the cousin.”
Aubrey also claims her son is receiving the exact same treatment.
“I will treat my daughter no differently than my son,” she says. “For example, I let my son go out late but not my daughter because it’s too dangerous for a woman — I’ll just treat them both the same.”
No secrets are allowed within their four walls either.
Aubrey’s children must be open and honest with their mother no matter what.
“Secrets are not kept from your parents,” she says. “And if you’re one of those people right now who’s like, ‘I’ll give you candy, if your mom’s not around, don’t tell her,’ then that’s the quickest way to never see us again.”
Aubrey grins with delight as she continues to work through her endless list of rules.
She says her daughter doesn’t have to “kiss, hug, or sit on your lap” just because you asked her to.
“And she doesn’t have to respect you if you don’t respect her, too,” she adds.
Aubrey says her children can have mental health days when needed and that she will help them regulate their emotions.
And for these two children there is no opportunity to make friends at school.
“We’re not going to create a public school system where you sit at a desk for eight hours and don’t study anything that’s really important to you,” she says.
She also has interesting ideas about medicine.
“We will always use holistic methods before resorting to Western medicine,” she says. “And I won’t force it [my daughter] to share or finish their plate of food.”
Aubrey’s controversial rules have caused an uproar on TikTok, with people claiming she’s ruining her daughter’s childhood by banning sleepovers altogether.
One shocked user wrote: “Are they never allowed to sleep over with their friends? Those were some of my fondest childhood memories.”
A second troll replied, “No overnight stays is the first mistake.”
But a third defended Aubrey’s rule, commenting: “So many things happened to me on a sleepover when I was a kid!! Good for you mom.”
