Teen Mom OG's Farrah Abraham sure does catch a lot of heat for the things she does. Whether it's the decisions she makes, the words she says, the photos she posts -- all of it definitely get put under a microscope, and the Internet is always more than happy to share how it feels about what she does. And yes -- that involves her parenting. Some folks think there have been far too many instances in which she's been inappropriate with her kiddo.

There have been moments throughout Farrah's time in the spotlight in which people have accused her of being inappropriate with her little girl, Sophia. Whether or not she actually was inappropriate is up for debate, of course.

The important thing to remember is that Farrah is a mom and she's trying her best. Sometimes that means making mistakes along the way. And for Farrah, those mistakes happen to be made in the public eye -- which can be very unforgiving, of course.

"I can be stupid, anyone can act stupid. I keep it real. I'm not allowing my daughter to be spoiled or not responsible for her actions ... It's difficult with grandparents and cameras around for my daughter. My daughter is very bright and wonderful and I keep it real on Teen Mom OG with real feelings and thoughts in my everyday life."

When She Said She Makes Sophia Interact With Fans

When Sophia was 6, Farrah told Cosmo about Sophia and their fans:

"Sophia is so quick to be like, 'I don't wanna take a photo,' or, 'I don't really want to talk to them. I understand that there's a lot of people on us a lot of time and it's a lot of giving, but I also want her to know that these people probably waited hours to meet her ... So it's just really helping her be more, I guess, empathetic, with her fans, and really knowing what they're going through to meet her."

When Sophia was 3, Farrah apparently said on Sulia about waxing Sophia's eyebrows:

"So here I am faced with a standout historical moment in motherhood when I can confirm to myself that my little, adorable, most cuddle-able cutie, baby girl has a Unibrow :( , I felt bad for her, and I started asking friends ... is this hair just going to fall out ... is it just hormones at this age?, well the hair didn't go away and others started saying it was here to stay. ... The next morning I showed her and told her how well she did and she didn't even know. She was more intrigued now to be ok with upkeeping her non-unibrow. I could tell she was proud."
