@yoursilverlining: @Pirouette: @ShootingStar:
Most of the time my life is very boring. I slave away in front of my computer all day like everyone else.
But we're lucky to have family in fun places, and a lot of fun places aren't that far from us, relatively speaking. And I can't even tell you how many pics I have to take of my LOs before I can get just one of them cracking a smile.
@cait: I stopped reading some of the more popular mommy bloggers partly because their lives do seem all too perfect, but mainly because the really popular ones have become so commercial! The sponsored posts with all the high end stuff gets really annoying! I wasn't feeling jealousy over all their great stuff, I just didn't want to see the pseudo advertisements anymore.

@loveisstrange: Oh I know. Everyone gets theirs in one way or another! And to be honest I wouldn't wish a moment of unhappiness on this particular colleague, she's lovely and has had more than her fair share of crap courtesy of her health. It's just that those "precious, perfect, magical newborn days", that's something I will never get back with E and I like to tell myself it's because they don't exist in real life!
In other news, I totally crop mess out pictures before posting them!!

No. I am completely satisfied with my life so I don't get jealous over anyone's social media activity. I don't post much on Facebook and when I do it's pics of my daughter shared only with close family and friends, so I don't feel the need to go out of my way and edit the pics to make them look better. I generally think the more people post about how great their life is, the more unhappy they probably are.

@lamariniere: yeah you get out of here with your amazing pictures of places I've never heard of! Booooo!
I try and keep it real, I post pictures of crying LO, talk about teething and stuff like that on IG. I don't clean my house to post pictures but I do always remember to crop my half naked DH out of the pictures, so I'm doing my part
IG is mostly just my friends though, on FB I tend to post more pleasnt things because my FB is mostly for my extended family to keep up with LO and I want them to think I have it all together if I'm being honest.
I absolutely get jealous of other people. Mostly about their material possessions and their amazing bodies. Not so much of their parenting unless they're like a Pinterest mom because I know full well that for every dreamy baby picture that's posted, they got shit on or thrown up on twice to counter it out.
