In many of such instances the reactions of parents seem to be overboard or emotionally charged, often far in excess to the situation. The “Pink Tote Lid Moment” are usually shared in the form of videos, photos or text posts, and often border along humorous or emotional and underline how parental reactions to seemingly minor instances can have deep and often disturbing effects on the child’s emotional growth and the effects could be permanent.
The genesis to the trend can be traced to a since deleted post by a user @pvgtix46336. In the video the user detailed an argument which ensued with her mother who had asked her to bring “pink tote lids” to her room. Maybe the mother did not detail the requirements or the girl did not understand her mother properly, she ended up bringing the wrong items and it led to a conflict with both her parents.
