Like movies, none of that actually happens in real life; similarly, social media is social media. Any of the posts there, are far away from what the actual truth is. Not that everyone has that kind of a messy life but when it comes to children, there's no questioning that story.
It's normal to want a perfect social media life because humans are built with such programming that they only appreciate flawlessness. People root more for positivity than negativity, which is why a happy smiling baby picture gets way more likes than the opposite. But let's be real, the ultimate struggle before that picture and the chaos after is what is the bitter reality that no one wants to show or talk about.
According to Florida Today, the toddler phase is the craziest phase of raising a child. Ever dealt with a drunken person? It's just like that. The key is to get them at the right time because a second more or less and the whole situation just flips. Predicting something isn't even possible because there's no way into guessing the psychic stability of the toddlers.
At one moment, they're cheerful and smiling and then there's just this wild screeching. Sometimes another person just clicks that horrid button inside them making it all "awkward". There's nothing messier than parenting a toddler.
As per Aha Parenting, the truth behind the impeccable posts is these extremely loud and ugly cries, and shouting and lots and lots of fighting. Most of the people aren't picture-perfect parents - they are just normal. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and all the rest don't even walk past that reality. However, Jessica Saggio here shows what parenting a toddler really looks like. All the other parents out there are either very lucky or they're just in denial.
