As a mother, life can often feel overwhelming. It’s disheartening when you put effort into cooking a meal from scratch that no one touches, or when you clean the kitchen floor only to have it sullied by a chocolate milk spill moments later. And let’s not even talk about the chaos of laundry day, where just as you finish folding the last pile, the kids create a mini flood in the bathroom—thanks to your distraction from their antics while you were tackling their clothes.
Sometimes, amidst the chaos, you get a rare night out—away from the kids, music blasting—and you return feeling rejuvenated, albeit a bit hungover. But the next morning? Scrolling through social media only to find an unflattering photo of yourself mid-yawn or, worse, mid-bite, is the absolute worst. Seriously, I don’t have multiple chins—just a bad angle, right?
So, my fellow mothers, let’s establish some ground rules for sharing photos of each other on social media! After all the effort we put into looking half-decent when leaving the house—especially when there’s a toddler asking, “Whas’ this? What ya doin’?” while waving mascara around—it’s crucial to avoid having embarrassing pictures floating around online. Here’s my unofficial guide to social media etiquette for posting pictures of your friends:
Rule 1:
Never share unflattering pictures of your friends. If you’re looking great but they’re not, just crop them out. It’s not rocket science.
Rule 2:
Posting ugly photos of others may result in bad photo karma. You could end up with a lifetime of awkward poses and half-open eyes. Go ahead and test it if you don’t believe me.
Rule 3:
Follow the girl code. If my bra is showing or my pants are unzipped, for the love of all that is good, tell me so I can fix it before snapping a pic!
Rule 4:
Everyone in the photo should look at least decent. No drunken snapshots unless all parties approve. If you captured me belting out a tune during Karaoke Night, send it to me first. I’ll decide if it’s share-worthy because we both know I only sing Madonna after a few drinks.
Rule 5:
If you’re unsure about a photo’s shareability, just don’t post it. It’s a simple rule to live by.
Rule 6:
Visible undergarments? Instant no-go. This includes everything from the tops of thongs to Spanx peeking out.
Rule 7:
If you look fabulous next to a friend who doesn’t and you can’t resist posting it, then you’re heading straight to social media hell. Seriously.
Now go ahead and take those group selfies, but please, stick to my guidelines—or face the consequences!
