Why Facebook Makes it Hard to be a Good Mother

I find myself on Facebook several times a day, and while I do not find much harm in scrolling through my newsfeed, I feel that it makes it harder to be a good mother. I do find some great posts topics that help me be a good mother, but not often.

These my reasons why Facebook makes it hard to be a good mother:

1. Because it provides temporary avoidance of monotonous motherly tasks such as picking up the oven mit thrown out of the drawer for the 11th time, or reuniting a lost sock with its rightful mate.

2. Because it shows the best talents of other mothers, without reminding me that all mothers have different strengths and weaknesses.

3. Because it announces all the worldly successes of my "friends," but fails to include what they have sacrificed to attain such successes.

4. Because posts that evoke strong emotion linger in my thoughts and put me in a bad mood.

5. Because it gives me a false sense of accomplishing something.
