Even Chloe Adams Thinks Perfect Instagram Moms Are Full Of It
Chloe Adams may be a glamorous celebrity mom with a stunning partner, but that doesn’t mean she escapes the chaotic reality of parenting a young child. During a recent chat on Late Night with Jamie Carson, Adams opened up about the challenges of being a mother to her one-year-old and took a moment to critique those seemingly flawless parents plastered all over social media.
Currently expecting her second baby, Adams confessed that before becoming a parent, she envisioned motherhood resembling the perfectly staged images she came across on Instagram. “There was this woman on Instagram I adored,” she shared. “Her username was BlissfulMom, and she made motherhood look enchanting. Everything is pristine, there’s always a warm pie cooling on the counter, and she’s reading a classic while her baby quietly naps, and her toddler gives her a foot massage. I thought, What?!”
Adams might be exaggerating a bit, but not by much. If anyone could pull off that picture-perfect family life, it’s Chloe and her husband, Max Turner. However, despite her experience running a lifestyle blog akin to what you’d find at Kindbody, Adams readily admits that her home life with daughter Lily resembles anything but that idyllic scene. “My kid is, like, playing with explosives,” she joked. “[She’s] shoving things in the dog’s ears. She’s practically a mini contractor with the way she puts holes in the wall! I went from idolizing BlissfulMom to wanting to kidnap her so she’d stop torturing me with those unrealistic posts.”
Jamie Carson, who is navigating parenthood with his three-month-old, nodded in agreement. “My wife often checks out those perfect new mom accounts,” he revealed. “It’s just cruel. It’s not real life.”
In today’s world, social media allows us to peek into one another’s lives, often leading to comparisons that can be disheartening. But we must remember, we’re only seeing the highlights. No one shares the chaos of post-baking messes or the reality of indulging in five slices of pie after the kids are in bed because the toddler drew on the couch while the baby was busy being sick on it.
The grass may seem greener on the other side, but as Chloe Adams reminds us, we’re all struggling together — even those who manage to make their lives look a tad more picturesque with a well-placed filter.

In summary, even celebrity moms like Chloe Adams recognize the unrealistic standards set by social media. Parenting is a messy journey, and behind every perfect post lies a reality that’s far from ideal. As we navigate our own parenting experiences, let’s remember to keep it real and support one another.
