Hello! Welcome to SocialMum.com. We’re so glad you stopped by. We wanted to share a bit about the writers for Social Mum. There are five bloggers contributing to this site. We are all girlfriends and moms, living across the United States. Our children are all different ages, from four to 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of us are more outspoken than the others. Yet, we all believe there are some things you shouldn’t say, especially on social media… hence, our name: Social Mum. It also stands for all the mums and moms working hard to raise their families while keeping up with the busyness<\/a> of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We write a lot about how adults use social media, particularly Facebook — our favorite. We’re all active on Instagram<\/a> and Pinterest too. Some of us are also on Twitter<\/a>, Snapchat<\/a>, Reddit<\/a>, TikTok and the other social platforms, learning the inner workings and norms. But really, it’s hard to keep up with it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are sort of obsessed with social behaviors and hope some of our posts will resonate with you. As girlfriends and moms, we try to relate with what people go through on social media and how it works its way into our actual, real lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, social media is great at times but other times, it brings us down. Sometimes our feelings get hurt. It’s common to see things we aren’t invited to<\/a> or posts we’re not included in<\/a>. It sometimes feels like everyone has a better life than we do! We’ve learned it’s common to feel this way at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s pettiness on social media too. People unfriend<\/a> and block<\/a> each other. They withhold Likes<\/a>. It’s interesting to see who Likes your posts but more interestingly, who rarely does. Some moms are competing<\/a> with you, and you might not even know it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s often more than meets the eye<\/a>, isn’t there? Sometimes there is overt drama but most often there are subtle power plays and mind games such as not accepting your friend request<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
We hope you enjoy our musings about being a mom and raising kids in this digital age.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
