Are You Shamelessly Obsessed With Your Kid?

It’s only natural when you become a parent, that your priorities change and that your little one now becomes the center of your universe. It’s clear to tell that when every aspect of your life continues to revolve around your child, there is a good change you’re obsessed with them. When you are obsessed with your child, you might see that you have a harder time having non-parent friends because your conversations are polar-opposite or you might notice that you’re losing friends and followers on your social media accounts because they might be sick and tired of seeing pictures or videos of your child every 5 seconds.

Here are some sure signs that your proud momma status has shifted to become a slightly obsessed parent who needs to tone it down a bit.

  • Since your social media feeds are nearly entirely dedicated to photos of your kids, you start losing followers. #Showusthefoodpics

Even if you are slightly obsessed with your child, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It is YOUR child, so being obsessed is natural. Maybe just work on toning it down a bit.
