Okay. So let's get real about the IG mom "community". It stopped being a community a long time ago.
I've only been a part of it for a coupe of months. Since January. And in that short time I've seen more and more how much unnecessary bullshit drama there is. It makes me sad to be honest. When I found this community I was happy! Finally I would be able to post pictures of my cute son & family without judgement. I could FINALLY relate to some people & talk to other responsible moms. A whole bunch of things I was lacking in my physical life.
As a teenager and a mom where I live, it usually entails partying every weekend. Getting high. Letting grandparents take care of the baby. Not caring about school And finally baby daddy drama.
NONE of that applied to me. I didn't (& don't) party or leave my son with my parents for them to take care of. I love school. And finally, I'm happily together with my son's father. So needless to say, I never talked to any of them.
But APPARENTLY, IG drama isn't all they different. People still act like they're in highschool and go on with high school drama and games. A huge thing lately has been bullying. If you have a problem with someone, don't spread smut about them. Don't talk down to them. Be mature and talk to them privately. And if things can't be resolved, drop it.
The mom community is supposed to be there for support. For love. For mutual interest in all our beautiful families & kids. I don't know when it stopped being about that.
Now some people are "too good" for others for whatever reason. Follower count mostly.
Let's just have a reality check. Big accounts once started from 0 followers and gradually grew. And whether you have 100 followers or 100k followers 697 aren't any less or more important than the next person.
Them theres fake pages and hate pages. People. Really? Hate pages? It's pathetic. Yes. Some moms (or dads) make horrible decisions when it comes to their kids and personal lives. That doesn't however give you the right to create an entire page solely dedicated to tearing them down. Ever.
We have to remember it's not about followers. It's not about who's better than who. It's about family. Children. Support.
And until we FOCUS on that and drop the rest of the crap going on, IG WON'T become a community again.
Till next time,

ReplyDeleteYour right there isn't a "mommy community" anymore. All I see is the same big accounts doing sfs over and over just to gain followers. I'm tired of seeing the same moms.I found that the smaller accounts are where it's at there's better pictures, interactions and your actually able to make a connection with moms.
