AceShowbiz - In a TikTok video, Kat Stickler, 29, addressed concerns from some followers regarding her decision to let daughter MK meet her former boyfriend Jason Tartick while they were dating. She clarified that she always ensured she was present when introducing MK to male friends and that they were always introduced as "Mommy's friends."

"Three things," Stickler said. "She's always with me when these males are introduced in her life, and they are always introduced as Mommy's friends. She doesn't call anyone Dad, as she has one of her own, and isn't confused about who is or isn't her father."

Stickler emphasized that she makes all decisions in the best interest of her daughter. She noted that dating involves meeting people, and she can't simply leave MK behind when she hosts visitors.

"Imagine if we all listened to the judgments that other people had about our lives and based our life decisions on those judgments," Stickler said. "I never wanna live in fear of not doing what's right for me because of what other people are going to think."

Stickler expressed her understanding of her followers' concerns but assured them that she is doing her best. "Just be patient with me, because this is a lot. I know my child," she said. "I know that every single decision I make is with her best interest at the forefront of my mind and I can live with that."

Stickler and Tartick, 35, dated for six months before amicably parting ways in this year.
