Hi ladies I’m Mia, and I’m a proud HOT MESS 😩! Have social media platforms like IG made us think we have to be perfect mamas? Why do millennial moms try so hard?

Even if it weren’t for social media, my own mom was a super mom and totally set the bar high for me! 😅 She tells me I’m a great mommy all the time but I know o don’t even compare to that super woman!

I try so hard to keep everything In check with work and home but when my son wants to play we play .... everything else is secondary....we work hard for our families and if my kid just gets ignored what’s the point of me working hard ?

Idk. I’m definitely not super mom, but I love crafting, sewing and baking. Plus it saves a lot of money when I’m not buying all these cookies and cakes out of the home.

You’re following the wrong people on social media! Lots are honest. Lots are working moms just like us trying their best!

I got off FB and instagram because i was tired of trying to live an instagram worthy life! It’s been 7 months and I’m not planning shit to do just for a cute picture anymore. Highly recommend the book simplicity parenting ✅

Fellow millennial mama here. I definitely find myself comparing my life to those on IG and FB, but would probably compare myself to my neighbors without Social Media.

Am I the only person who hates the phrase "hot mess mom"?

I don't. I just do me

I try to be a good housewife, stay home mom, homeschool teacher… my husband does not expect me to be as the above pictured. But I feel like I have to be perfect too like you said. I’m not sure what it is. I guess just this desire to be the best I can be and also be the best mother and wife I can possibly be. But we have to make sure we are taking care of ourselves so we can be better in every other area

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Friends??

Heyy!! My name is Marie I’m 24 and I’m a ftm and sahm to a 5 month old baby boy🩵. I find it really hard to make/keep friends 😅. Honestly I’m kinda inconsistent, like we could text for days and suddenly I stop texting for a while (hence why it’s hard to keep friends) but I will always be there and answer whenever you text!! I’m from MA but I’m down to lone distance friendships🫶🏽

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now
