Let’s have a heart-to-heart, fellow moms. While I truly appreciate and admire many of you on Facebook—your recipes, your craft ideas, and your adorable kids—there are some of you who really test my patience. It’s time to address a few behaviors that need to stop, like, yesterday.
1. The “I-Gave-Birth-So-I’m-A-Parenting-Expert” Mom
Sure, you’ve done the hard work of bringing a child into the world, and that deserves a huge round of applause. However, just because you’ve given birth doesn’t automatically grant you a Ph.D. in child-rearing, nutrition, or health care. Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it doesn’t make you an expert in everything. Let’s leave the medical advice to those who have the credentials, okay?
2. The “My-Delivery-Was-Terrifying” Mom
Please, spare us the gory details of your childbirth experience. I really don’t need to hear about how your child made a dramatic entrance. Let’s keep the graphic stories to a minimum—some things are best kept private!
3. The “Contest-Winning-Baby” Mom
I get it; your little one is the cutest in your eyes (and in your heart). But remember, every mom on Facebook feels the same way about their child. A friendly reminder: there are only so many spots on the front of baby food jars. Let’s celebrate our kids without turning it into a competition.
4. The “Potty-Training Chronicles” Mom
While we all love adorable snapshots of our kids, no one wants to see the ongoing saga of potty training—especially the pictures of them on the toilet. Just because you’re getting likes doesn’t mean everyone is on board with your updates about poop and pee. Trust me, we know what’s happening in that red plastic bowl, and it’s not cute.
5. The “Help-My-Kid’s-Hurt” Mom
If your child has a serious injury, the last thing you should be doing is snapping a photo for social media. Your priority should be getting them the medical attention they need, not broadcasting it to your friends online. Please, think about the right way to handle emergencies.
I know I’ve fallen into these traps myself at times, but let’s be real—regularly sharing these types of posts can get a little out of hand. Before you hit that “post” button, take a moment to think it through.

In summary, while we all want to share our parenting journeys, let’s be mindful of what we post and how it might be received. After all, being a mom is a wild ride, and we’re all in this together!
