Shawn Johnson is calling out mom shamers after facing criticism for sharing her 3-month-old's 'first flip' on Instagram.
The former Olympian became a parent, with husband and NFL free agent Andrew East, just three months ago, and already she’s become familiar with the unsolicited advice and negativity that comes with posting about your child on social media. But she refuses to sit silently as strangers shame her for the decisions she makes as a mom.
Almost immediately, Johnson responded. “Were you holding her? Have you physically felt her sweat when she wears socks? Or felt her strength when she stands? Or seen her fuss until she stands up because she hates laying down? Nope. You haven’t. I’m her mama. I know.” “Mom shaming is a real thing. Like a real, real thing. And I truly don’t understand it,” she said in an Instagram story on Monday night. “There’s comments that come across like, ‘You’re doing this wrong. How could you do this to your child?’ And those just aren’t good, those aren’t nice. Those aren’t worth the effort, and they make mamas feel like crap. All of us mamas are doing the best that we can. We’re trying, we’re crying, we’re pushing our way through it.
