Influencer Lauren Cameron Glass is going viral—and raising eyebrows—after posting a TikTok of herself getting ready to attend her teenage son’s prom.
What began as a seemingly lighthearted "Get Ready With Me" quickly turned into a viral talking point as Lauren revealed she’d not only be joining her son for prom, but also the Y2K-themed after-party.
While some viewers hoped she was joking, follow-up videos and comment replies suggest she’s serious, sparking widespread debate and a wave of parody content across TikTok.
Critics have accused Lauren of embodying the “crazy boy mom” stereotype, even referencing emotional incest—a psychological term for when a parent seeks emotional support from a child typically reserved for adult partners.
Therapist Allison DuBois recently unpacked the psychology behind this dynamic in a viral video of her own, linking it to blurred boundaries and unmet emotional needs.
Now, the internet is split: is Lauren just leaning into a bit, or does this point to a deeper cultural issue around parenting and identity?
