In an age where using social media is as much a part of our lives as eating breakfast and doing the school run, there are some people who we would love to gently ask to put their phones down!
If they’re not posting a constant stream of baby outfit photos (HOW DO THEY AFFORD ALL OF THESE NEW OUTFITS?!), then they’re putting us to shame with their impeccably-presented, Insta-worthy dishes for the family.
While the constant comparison between our own lives and what we see in that square box can sometimes bring us down, we have to remember that the ease and perfection that is so often presented to us is not actually real.
In fact, a lot of the most successful Instagram accounts require a LOT of effort and preparation – as captured so perfectly in the following video.
Shared to Facebook, the spoof gives a tongue-in-cheek account of what it really takes to compete, as a parent, in the age of social media.
From the horror of repeating a child’s outfit two days in a row, to the stress over the consequences of failing to post about your baby all day, and being hit with a ‘media wall’ for such a major event as a baby-naming party; the woes of a social media-addicted mum or dad is real!
Of course, if this video is anything to go by, it’s clear that all problems can be solved with the simple creation of a new photo series complete with its own unique hashtag!
We have no doubt that you will enjoy this video.
