Alex Auder’s mother Viva Superstar was a Warhol girl. As a parent, she thinks kids need less micromanaging by adults.
, reads like a story of the kind of upbringing most people today conscientiously work to avoid giving their children.
I spoke to Auder recently about reconciling her childhood with raising kids today, the challenges of having an “open door” policy at home, and what it feels like to push a child on a park swing. Anyway, there we are at the Bleecker playground, and I actually got into a verbal argument with another parent. My son was like 3, and he’s standing on the bottom of the slide, and there’s a kid who can’t slide down. And that kid’s mother is, like,. I was ignoring her. Sometimes I would pretend my kid wasn’t my kid, just to avoid these exchanges. She was like, “Mysay that to another parent! I’d just let my kid figure it out.
My husband was tracking my book sales during the week it came out, and there was a fun moment, where, very briefly, my book was No. 1 on Amazon in the “Parenting Girls” category. I was like, “Fuck all y’all!” I wanted to make a flier and throw it on the lawns of all the parents I knew when my daughter was in high school.
I think it’s an absolute nightmare. I think with my parents — I hate saying this because it sounds very annoying — but it was art. The kids on social media today, it’s branding. It’s late-stage capitalism mode. For women, for girls, the hypersexualized dances and stuff on TikTok? I think it’s only negative. Sorry, I’m not into the whole, “It’s all sexual positivity.”
It’s a systemic issue — it’s the school systems, public and private. Basically, your public schools are funded by the real estate in the neighborhood. It’s systemic racism and economic injustice, represented in the schools.
