Hey there, fellow moms on Facebook! Let me take a moment to share my thoughts. Most of you are fantastic, and I genuinely admire your creativity. Your recipes and DIY projects? Absolutely inspiring! And your kids? Adorable beyond words.
However, there are a few specific types of moms that really need to reevaluate their posts. Let’s dive in, shall we?
1. The “I-Gave-Birth-So-Now-I’m-A-Professional” Mom
Yes, giving birth is a monumental achievement, and you deserve recognition for that! But let’s be real—just because you’ve had a baby doesn’t mean you’re an expert in everything related to parenting. Birth does not grant you the title of pediatrician, nutritionist, or therapist. So, unless you have actual qualifications, please refrain from doling out unsolicited advice.
2. The “My-Delivery-Was-A-Nightmare” Mom
I do not need a detailed account of how your baby made a dramatic entrance. It’s enough to know that you had a challenging experience; your tales of colon-pulling and other horrors are a bit too graphic for my taste!
3. The “My-Kid-Is-A-Model” Mom
I get it; you think your little one is the cutest thing ever, and that’s sweet. But let’s remember, every mom likely feels the same way about her child. So while it’s adorable that you want to share your child’s photo in a contest, let’s be realistic—there are a whole lot of other “cutest babies” out there too.
4. The “Potty-Training-Diaries” Mom
Sure, we all love seeing your child’s milestones, but there’s a limit. No one wants to see pictures of potty sessions or hear about diaper blowouts. If you think those posts are getting you likes, know that for every “like,” there are likely five eye-rolls. But hey, if it doesn’t bother you, keep posting!
5. The “Emergency-Diagnosis” Mom
Ah, the classic scenario: your child has a visible injury, and instead of seeking help, you snap a picture for social media. I understand the impulse to share, but really? How about focusing on getting them the care they need first?
We’re all navigating this motherhood journey together, and I’ve definitely shared in some of these behaviors myself. However, let’s think twice before we hit that “post” button.
