It has been an ongoing issue that new moms are often criticized for the things they do, wear, or say, just because they have a child. Society expects women to completely change who they are after they bring a baby into the world, and that often means them having to totally reinvent themselves. Celebrity moms who share sexy images of themselves on social media sometimes receive hateful messages from concerned fans telling them to cover up for the sake of their kids.
Most of the time, these babies are too young to have access to social platforms like Instagram or Snapchat, but for some reason, being a mother makes people think that a woman always has to be covered up. Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are often criticized for wearing too little clothing or being too provocative on social media, just because they have daughters.
