Every parent knows that the school drop-off and pick-up can be the most judgmental place on the planet. What kind of example does that set for your kids, huh?

And I don't just mean of their own children.
Did we learn nothing from anti-bullying presentations in school?
But sadly, even parents can participate in cyber-bullying online.
It's been around for along time, but is exacerbated with the ability to hide behind a screen and remain anonymous.
And social media can create a mob mentality.
The stories of mom shaming that make it to the news usually involve celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Chrissy Teigen.
For Kylie Jenner, it was her long nails that had people reeling.
She was picking her kids up from school and decided to take a photo with them and post it online.
The comments definitely got to Bella.
Bella has over 19,000 followers on Instagram and frequently posts photos from shoots and modeling.
Clearly, fashion and her sense of style are big parts of her life. She's not afraid to flaunt her confidence online, and to many, this already may seem inappropriate for a mother of three.

In the now-deleted photo, Bella is wearing a tight, beige dress that showed off her cleavage.
Parents wrote in the comments of her photo saying she "shouldn't have worn that dress" and she should "cover her boobs."
She explained to Caters News that ever since she got a boob job, moms have been extra judgmental. She said she's trying to create a new conversation about being a mother. “As soon as I got a breast augmentation I was viewed differently by most of the other mums," she said.
“As soon as I got a breast augmentation I was viewed differently by most of the other mums," she said.
"I am trying to create awareness about that."
She said, “Someone said to me that they’d rather spend their money on their children."
Bella said she loves her kids and she knows they love her, too.
"If I was to change my appearance then I wouldn’t be their mum — I wouldn’t be me."
“My kids think that I am the best person on the planet; they look at all the other mums and they wonder why they’re not like me.”
Just because someone looks different than you, that doesn't make them a bad mother.
Kids imitate what they see, so lead by example and keep the mean comments to yourself.
