“These blissful versions of motherhood that are bought and sold on social media are more lucrative because so many American mothers are desperate to hope for something else.”
That comparison conundrum is real, whether a teen, a disgruntled/disillusioned college student, or a craftsman/hobbyist, or, clearly a mom. In my house, 50% of us follow a variety of momfluencers. That Mormons presence is real, and I’d love to read more about the what, why how of that phenomenon. Similarly, and more closely related to this post is the niche of “moms with disabled children” IG accounts - again 50% of us follow several such accounts. Would love to learn more about the why and how behind it all. Keep up the great writing and work.
