Navigating motherhood often means presenting a polished facade. You might have applied makeup, showered, and squeezed into shape-wear before stepping out for a special occasion, be it a wedding or a long-awaited date night. You’re feeling your best, so naturally, you grab your phone for a quick selfie.
However, let’s be honest: this isn’t the carefree 25-year-old you who flaunted new jewelry or showcased a sun-kissed beach body. Instead, you might catch yourself thinking, “Why does she look so well-rested?” But hey, you’ve managed a shower and found a babysitter, so why not capture this rare moment of not looking like a sleep-deprived troll?
This made me ponder how social media would differ if mothers shared the unvarnished truth of their daily experiences instead of just the highlight reels. So, let’s take a lighthearted look at what motherhood might look like through a lens of honesty.
Good Morning, 5 a.m.
#messyhair #wornoutgown
Time to feed the little ones, but they seem more interested in making a mess than eating. If you thought I was harsh calling them “little beasts,” come watch them at mealtime, and you might agree!
#aintnobodygottimeforthat
Forget hashtags like #nofilter; the reality is clear enough.
“Wait, you have to go to work?” #whateverworks
Or perhaps you need to run errands? Regardless, brace yourself for the day ahead.
Personal space? Forget about it! Once you embrace this fact, life becomes a tad easier.

You’ll find yourself snapping victory selfies after short-lived naps.

Or perhaps waiting endlessly at the pediatrician’s office.

And let’s not forget the moments you wear a coat indoors to avoid waking your teething child.
#DONTmove
Food will be thrown your way, and laughter will ensue, even if it’s at your own expense.

The first time you dress up post-baby, you might text friends for validation: “Is this outfit adult enough?”
#WhoaMama
You might find yourself in mismatched clothing, looking like a colorblind gym teacher.

There will always be tears shed, often by someone other than you.

Welcome to Friday night with your little ones.
#CLUBtubbytime
Panic sets in when you realize you need to leave in five minutes and your hair looks like a tornado hit it.
#prayer
But somehow, you manage to transform from disaster to presentable in record time.

And then there are moments of bliss, like sitting in the airport cell phone lot, sipping coffee and reading—40 uninterrupted minutes of personal space bliss.

To all the moms out there sporting boogers on your jackets, know that you are not alone. Remember, behind every filtered selfie, there’s a mother who has likely been peed on at least once.
