I love her! How refreshing to have an honest conversation about motherhood instead of one upmanship.

Good on you Candice for your honesty – love it! Rock on!

Social media can’t put more pressure on us to be something we are not, that is something we do ourself. You can take Social media super serious or ignore it, your choice.

I do think social media puts pressure on mums. The key is to love yourself for who you are

Everyone is different and people can choose to present themselves in whatever way they choose. We do not need to feel pressured to look a certain way, it comes down to choice.

Some mums like to dress up it helps them feel that there is more to life. While others prefer to dress to what they want.

in (a) I leave my office job and now I am getting paid 98 Dollars hourly. How? I work-over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was forced to try-something different. Two years after…I can say my life is changed completely for tthe better! Check it out what i do.

  Should this post be deleted? It’s clearly scam.

    I think it should be and I suspect it is on MOM at least twice.

good for her to be a “sporting wife/celebrity” and being honest – I think this is totally correct and there is a huge pressure to be thin while pregnant and sleek days after giving birth. I get that for some women that is their job (the way they look) but maybe honest mums with muffin tops can post their instagram photo’s and feel proud #ihaveamuffintoptoo!

You know we are all different…..no matter how bad my day was I always had eye makeup done. My hair might be a mess but i had great eyeshadow. I did it for me because it made me feel better. I didnt do it to impress or please anyone else. If you are dressing up to make yourself feel good then go ahead. If you are doing it to impress someone else then you need to stop and think about why you feel that need to get pats on the back from others.

Thank you Candice! So agree! It can be a lot to take as a new mum!

Each to their own! I think if a mum dresses up and it makes her feel good even if uts for a pic on Instagram, then all the power to her!!

  All about choice and being individual.

I think that the media in general puts huge pressure on women to be the perfect mothers and it\’s just not reality.

Well, it doesn’t help when you’re having a “lck myself in the cupboard” day!

It does seem unrealistic at times,l’m sure the photo’s have been changed to a degree!

i totally agree. although like any one of us, we only like to post photos of us that are good, while out having a coffee date, make up on, in nice clothes. it makes us feel good…

Sometimes photos look as though they have been “doctored” to look different.
You see photos that look as though they have been taken at the same time.
A child looks the same in a photo, you see it on social media or two different sites. The hair colour is slightly different, the clothes lightly darker in one that the other.

The majority of celeb with baby images are so very far from realistic, its a joke! So agree with Candice on the gym gear comment – that was pretty much me for years! It would be different with child carers, cleaners, babysitters, gardeners, car washers, cooks, dog walkers etc.

i think anyone or anything, social media included, can only put as much pressure on us as we allow. it is not up to any mother to say another mothers life as a mum isnt real. the fact is what is real to some mums isnt real to others, we need to stop judging!! i looked like crap after having my kids, some mums look incredible!! its not up to me to say who is more ‘realistic’ . i think its wrong to pick on anyone because they look different to how we look, our lives are real for us, the kardashians life is real for them, beyonces reality is hers. we will only truly be happy when we stop comparing our lives to others. im in competition with no one, my life is my life, it is no more or less real than anyone elses. we need to stop putting others down for not doing things the way we expect them to. we’re all different lets just stop with the judgemental attitudes and support each other

It sure does out pressure on is. With all the photo editing people do before posting with lots of different filters – makes women feel they need to meet expectations which are unrealistic

I don’t think its social media putting the pressure on, its been around for years, look at any number of womens mags with the headlines about this celeb or that and how they got their post baby body back.
‘Normal’ mums could easily be the same with a dietician cooking for us, a nanny giving us a break so we can nap, and possibly having a little “mummy makeover” surgery procedure immediately.
Who doesnt want to just chill with their newborn in trackies?
