Parenting is a tough job, and it's even tougher when everyone is judging you on social media. Celebrities are under constant scrutiny when it comes to how they choose to raise their children. They get shamed for even the slightest mistake. And sometimes, I have to admit, it's pretty entertaining—even if you don't agree.
It seems like everyone online is all of a sudden some sort of parenting expert, and while we may know exactly how we'd like to raise our children, it's important to know everyone has their own style. What's also something everyone should be aware of is that there is a learning curve when it comes to raising babies, and every new parent is entitled to making his or her own mistakes. After all, there's no such thing as a perfect parent.
More from MamásLatinas: 20 Times Kim Kardashian proved she's all about the mom life
It is easy to jump in the comments section of a celeb's Instagram post to provide your two cents, but you have to realize there's a living, breathing human being on the other side. While some celebrities who are used to being criticized and are quick to clap back, like Kim Kardashian, there are others whose skin isn't as thick and they might actually start to believe there's something wrong with their parenting.
Helpful critiques could be useful for new parents, but finding something negative in everything a celebrity does must be exhausting. There's no need to drag everyone all the time for things that prove that they are, indeed, human like the rest of us. Take a look at these celebs who've been blasted on social media for sharing certain pics that showcase their parenting choices and lifestyles.

Beyoncé couldn't even enjoy a drink in peace.
Beyoncé shared a photo of herself out to dinner with husband Jay Z in August 2017 and she posed for a pic drinking wine, just months after her twins were born. People assumed she was breastfeeding and criticized her. Each mom knows what is best for her child, and while no alcohol while breastfeeding is the recommended option, one drink a day has not been found to be harmful.
Kim Kardashian caught some heat for this photo.
It seems like Kim Kardashian's fans won't let her and her children live their lives freely. The makeup mogul shared this gorgeous family photo but somehow, people decided to focus on her daughter North wearing lipstick. "Let a child be a child while she can!! And red lipstick wow!!" one person commented on the post from December 2018. "I wasn’t even allowed to wear that until i was '18'! Be a celebrity shouldn’t make it ok!"
Pink can't catch a break.
Even cooking dinner for her kids was a point of criticism for the singer's fans. She shared the most adorable and relatable photo of herself cooking and both of her kids are nearby, with one on her chest. Fans were quick to point out the dangers and said she was putting her kids in harm's way, and others offered options to how Pink should parent instead. "Have you tried to carry your baby on your back? It's easier to do whatever you have to and not dangerous when you cook," one person wrote.
People called Kim Kardashian out for posing topless with her baby in her arms for a makeup campaign.

Kim Kardashian is so used to criticism she anticipated this one of her son, Saint.
Kim shared an adorable Instagram snap of herself carrying baby Chicago with her son, Saint, walking next to her with something in his mouth. "P.S. mom shammers it’s not a pacifier, he’s eating candy!" she captioned the pic. A user still commented back: "1. Go back to school…its SHAMERS 2. Ummm….is candy supposed to be better??" Yikes.

Khloé Kardashian's vacation pics also came under fire.
People criticized Khloé for putting a head scarf on her baby while she was out in the sun. Not only that but they said the particular color, black, would attract more heat. On one hand, yes, that is true, but still. Mind your business, people! The baby's grandmother, Kris Jenner, has raised six kids and she was also there, so we are sure this was OK.
