As a mother, I often find myself navigating the chaotic landscape of family life. Whether it’s cooking a meal from scratch only to have it ignored, or mopping the kitchen floor right before a chocolate milk disaster, some days can feel like an uphill battle. And don’t even get me started on the joys of dealing with my period while tiny humans knock on the bathroom door. But every so often, I get a chance to escape, to recharge my batteries while listening to my favorite tunes. Unfortunately, the next morning can bring a rude awakening: a poorly timed photo of me, captured mid-bite or during a yawn, making me resemble Jabba the Hutt.
I swear, I don’t have that many chins in reality. I checked multiple times after hastily untagging myself from the unflattering post. So, ladies, let’s establish some ground rules for sharing photos of one another on social media. After all the effort we put into looking presentable amidst the chaos of motherhood, we deserve better than to have unflattering images floating around online.
Rule No. 1:
Don’t post unflattering pictures of your friends. If you look great but your friend doesn’t, just crop her out. It’s that simple!
Rule No. 2:
Posting unflattering images can lead to some serious bad photo juju. Trust me; you don’t want to find out what that means for your future pics.
Rule No. 3:
Follow the girl code! If my bra is visible or my pants are unzipped, please let me know. We can easily fix it and snap another shot.
Rule No. 4:
Everyone in the photo should look at least decent. No embarrassing drunk shots unless everyone agrees first. If you’ve got a gem from Karaoke Night, send it to me first so I can decide if we’re sharing it.
Rule No. 5:
If there’s any doubt about whether to post a picture, just don’t. It’s easier to err on the side of caution.
Rule No. 6:
If visible undergarments are involved—like Spanx or thongs—you should definitely not post it.
Rule No. 7:
If you post a picture where you look stunning but your friend looks terrible, you’re heading straight for social media hell!
Now go ahead and take those selfies, but remember these guidelines. Following them ensures that we can all enjoy our social media presence without the fear of embarrassment.
