Mum shares important message alongside photo of her daughter
When Stevie Niki took a picture of her kissing her daughter, she nearly didn't post it.
Why? Because of the "big hoo haa" a celebrity received after sharing a similar photo.
Sadly, in this day and age, mummy-shaming is well and truly alive. You can't do anything right, and everyone has an opinion on everything every mum says or does.
And that is exactly what the mum-of-four was thinking when she hesitated to share her photo.
However, determined not to let that stop her and to maybe make others think before they speak, the mum did share the photo, alongside a very important caption.
"One of my first thoughts were when contemplating sharing this beautiful photo of my daughter and I, was how there was a big hoo haa over a celebrity who shared a photo of them kissing their child on their lips [sic]," she wrote.
"How sad is that? That I even entertained that thought. That, that even happened. That I had to question posting this and that someone was shamed for doing the same thing?
"It's crazy what we go through as parents, the shaming… the shaming from fellow parents.
"We are honestly damned if we do and damned if we don't.
"If you can't even kiss your own child or show them affection without being slammed, then we are living in a sad world."
"I have to seriously question why or what has jaded another's mind into thinking kissing your own child is seen as inappropriate."
Finishing up, the blogger quite rightly said that she was annoyed she even had to write the caption, before finishing on a happy note.
"Anyway, I love her stinkin' guts – my little wild child.. and that's the only caption this photo needed."
