A mother presents a realistic view of motherhood on her social media instead of bowing to the pressure of presenting idealized motherhood. She admits to cursing, being in foul moods, and having emotional breakdowns while other mothers glamorize the experience. Finally, a rebellion against the faux reality of social media.

Key Takeaways:

• Storm-Manea Ellyatt is calling bull on the facade of parenthood displayed on social media. Instead of posting a highlight reel of her life, she’s getting real about the daily struggles she faces as a mother.
• Still, many parents who make the task of raising children look like rainbows and butterflies online are actually at their wits’ end.
• “Cheers all you amazing parents that dust yourselves off and do it again, with the smile of a thousand curse words, shattered souls and hopefully a strong coffee or wine in hand.”
