I am very excited to have been given permission to syndicate an article written by Emily Abbate on CafeMom’s blog, The Stir.
Expectations Vs. Reality
Pinterest is awesome — even if it is depressing as hell sometimes. So many images and projects and dreams beyond the scope of most moms, sigh. C’mon, do you know anyone in real life who actually attempted a pink, 10-turret birthday castle cake that didn’t come out like looking like a pile of Play-Doh with icing? Or whose living room doesn’t look like a small plastic parts manufacturing factory?
Hilariously Bad Mom Pinterest FAILS
The perfect lives moms imagine on Pinterest oftentimes doesn’t reflect the sad reality that actually goes down, which is why we put together these hilarious instances of Pinterest vs. Reality that all moms can surely relate to.
Behavior Motivation Fail

Nothing says “great job pooping in the toilet!” like a handful of chocolate.
Coat Rack Fail

The family of the first picture obviously lives in Florida, or someplace else that doesn’t have coats.
Creative Braids Fail

It’s fine, you can’t see the back of your head anyway.
Kid’s Playroom Fail

It might not be pretty but it’s FUNCTIONAL.
Homemade Robot Costume

Just like C-3P0, hunny. I swear.
Building a Snowman Fail
We think he captured Frosty during his Melting Phase rather perfectly, don’t you?
Thanks again to Cafe Mom’s, The Stir, for allowing me to share this fun post with y’all!
These made me crack up because we have all been there at least a time or two when we saw something so absolutely fabulous on Pinterest and thought, “Who really does that?!” Or we decided to go ahead and give that DIY project or craft a whirl and ended up with a product that was not quite so similar to the one in the picture!
