The mother of daughter Mia and son Max reveals motherhood without embellishment on her Instagram. And if she’s going to use a beauty filter on dark circles under her eyes or frizzy hair, she adds a little realness to it.
Every mother on maternity leave knows this. In the morning, he loves having time to make coffee and brush his teeth. If she could still clean, eat lunch, and even iron during the day, she could pin giant metal pins to her nightgown, soaked in breast milk, at night.
In short, maternity leave is not a holiday. And the reality of motherhood is also much different from all the “fashionable” family images where there is a perfect father, an even more perfect mother, both in super perfect clothes, with tymoline smiles, and well-dressed model children.

Similar photos were shared by many famous mothers. Why would he post a photo taken late at night, right? But seriously, what would a real mom look like appearing in a 24/7 magazine? We believe even so Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton, who can’t do anything without makeup, sometimes excessively, but revealing the reality of everyday life on social networks is still considered taboo in some cases.
Plus size models have managed to break this stigma Ashley Grahamwho is not shy about showing not only her stretch marks and stomach shortly after giving birth to her twins, but also what her daily life is like when breastfeeding, pumping and caring for her three children.
The former Miss, presenter and influencer also felt similar feelings Monika Leova. For a two year old daughter Mia a son was added to the family in the summer Max, and that’s how this good mother kept her fun. When she recently shared a breastfeeding video, she spiced it up by comparing how she imagined it would ideally look like in the real world.
The video with a face editing filter alternates between Monika holding her little son to her chest, adjusting the phone, breastfeeding herself, stroking the baby’s head, until she almost falls asleep. However, the comments of other mothers are also quite telling. It is in that “reality” that most of them know each other safely.
And that’s what Monica is all about. Not playing for perfection and not afraid to show the world his true colors. Some time ago, he was surprised by a young woman who did not understand that a person known to the public showed himself even in an “imperfect” light.
“The young woman was quite concerned with ‘likes’ and photos that had filters. She didn’t understand, for example, how a photo of me with a slight spike on my profile could get so many likes. She said she would delete it for me if I wanted. She probably didn’t I mean it in a bad way, but I understand, that young girls just have a reality that deviates from what is normal. They just see perfect photos everywhere, and I’m not surprised at all that they have the opinions that they do.” Monika thought. He himself really wants his daughter, Mia, to be able to recognize what is real and what is illusion.
