“Ma young boy,” Kailyn captioned this shot of her son Lux enjoying a day at the beach. In the picture, Lux is as adorable as ever, with his hair pulled back in an adorable tiny ponytail. But what’s less cute is what he’s holding: a bottle of Corona beer.
“I know it’s unopened but why do people think it’s cute to make babies/children pose with alcohol like this? I don’t get it,” wrote user sarah5736 on reddit. “This is in poor taste. Maybe Kail’s baby daddy’s have been the glue that keeps her parenting shit together this entire time,” wrote Infactinfarctinfart. User SadFeminist even pointed out, “Am I the only one more concerned with that baby cutting up his gums if he tries to gnaw on that bottle cap than the fact that it’s beer?”
But not everyone was quite so upset about the image. “Kail is such a bad mom! She didn’t even open the beer for him. Sooooooo selfish lol,” joked emeraldoceanmt. User TieDyeRehabHoodie wrote, “I’m surprised by all the pearl-clutching. It’s just a goofy candid pic. Considering how substance abuse doesn’t seem to be an issue with Lux’s parents, I don’t see what the big deal is?”
Being a reality star means that Kailyn has to be extra careful with what she shares with fans if she wants to avoid backlash. But recently, she’s opened up about adding another major surgery to her repertoire. Her other surgeries came from a desire to improve her self image and the way she appeared in the public eye.
In fact, Kailyn has opened up with her complicated relationship with her self image before. As she revealed in her book, Hustle and Heart, she struggled with eating disorders while she was younger.
