Real Or Fake: Motivational Parenting Memes
Because you all had so much fun with the Sanctimommy status updates and guessing if they were real or fake that Koa made you, we have decided to play Round Two, but this time with simpy sweet motivational parenting drivel you can find all over social media. Your job is to guess if someone actually posted this garbage, or if through the powers of an editing program I made it for you. Are you ready to play Real or Fake? Let’s do this!
1: Self Esteem Buckets
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
This is totally real, and was uploaded here. That’s right you parents, you better fill that self-esteem bucket!
2: They Grow So fast 
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
Fakeorama. I made this shiz, and I may have felt a lil’ bit pukey after doing so.
3: The Hands Of A Child
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
Fake. I made this, and it’s cheesy as hell, but I bet if you posted it on Facebook, you would get a whole pile of “likes.”
4: Being A Parent
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
This is real, and the sort of thing your mother-in-law would probably buy you to hang in your kitchen. Blech.
5: Sleep, My Baby
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
Fake. Did you guess correctly? Am I fooling anyone? Can I quit my day job and become a full-time motivational poster maker?
6: I Am Your Parent
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
This is fo’ real. I found it here, but edited out the website link to try and fool you guys.
7: Mom Luxury
Real or fake?
DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE DECIDED.
READY?
NO PEEKING!
OK.
EVERYONE IS WRONG! The quote is real, by Olivia Newton John (Hee hee) but the image is fake because I have seen so many stupid motivational things of a latte with a heart that I just couldn’t resist.
And, as a BONUS, I made this one for all of your Facebooks using some of my favorite Mommyish things and reader quotes!
