Scary Mommy and their Instagram page is discouraging, noninclusive, and encourages hostility
Scary Mommy and their Instagram page is very liberal with very little science-based facts and they harass many mothers who are proud to do well by their children. They have a lot of postings encouraging hostile behavior to children and mothers who don't fit their idea of what motherhood should be. You have no idea most of the time who curates the page but they say they are pro-transparency. It's good for a laugh sometimes but that's it. There's no good information. As a young new mom the page is very negative to motherhood and family life. They claim to focus on "realness" yet all they do is complain or worship false ideals like Royalty and movie stars. They have completely lost touch with the joy of mother and parenthood. The instagram page curator constantly seems bitter which is a shame considering that they could use their influence in a positive way. They seem to be concerned with giving people a minimum of wholesome ideas and more concerned with clout than integrity. I'm glad not every mother/parent site is like this. It's very discouraging for parents who want to thrive. Also I posted this on another review page 3 hrs ago and one of their readers was even more hostile demanding that they can do what they want and new parents don't know how to parent. Its a shame the way some try to discourage new parents.
