Michael and Kyly Clarke’s baby daughter now has an Instagram

Is this parenting in the 21st century?

Kyly Clarke, businesswoman and wife to cricket legend Michael Clarke, has opened an Instagram account for her nine-month-old daughter Kelsey Lee.

While some commentators are skeptical about the move, assuming Clarke is hoping to use the account to promote and endorse client’s products, she says this couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, she says it’s because she was worried her daughter would one day hate her if she didn’t ‘reserve’ the social media handle in advance.

“I never wanted her to grow up and go ‘mum you are so not cool, I can’t believe you didn’t save my name’ [on Instagram],” she told The Daily Mail.

“She doesn’t post any pictures or have any friends besides her family but yeah I just didn’t want to get told off when she gets older.”

Kelsey has 121 followers so far.

But this whole thing begs the question: is this a worthy parenting concern in the 21st century? Or just something celebrities need to worry about? Let us know what you think.
