"Honestly, why would she run into these things? Terrible advertising, sure, she's a really fit mom, but seriously ?!", writes a user. Others tag friends and make fun of themselves: "I'm often so tired that I just forget to get dressed before I go out with the kids!" or "Sure, that's what we all look like when we're jogging with the buggy, are not we ?!"
Others seem to take this picture honestly, in the comments it says, "Bugaboo, we have to talk, and with 'we' I mean and whoever has decided that this is a realistic picture to a normal, average mother too She also has some soft spots on her body, so she carried around a fetus for 10 months! " Others suspect jealousy in the negative comments: "We are upset about what we ourselves are too lazy for: self-hating women who just criticize the physical fitness of others everywhere - ice cream, girls, your envy barometer is alright arrived in the red zone. "
Model Ymre Stiekema, herself the mother of a two-year-old daughter, describes herself as an "enthusiastic" runner. The 23-year-old Dutch woman lives in New York with her friend, a personal trainer. Ymre Stiekema says, "I do sports at home every day, and I always wear my workout clothes on the road." Of course, there is no end of the world to miss a work-out. but I just miss it when I do that. "
We say that in addition to caring for a baby, there is still time for it and finding the regeneration of one's own body is not easy. The fashion and beauty business can be very hard. "Normal" mothers should not be impressed. For example, those who breastfeed their child are not well advised to just drink protein shakes and go through a tough fitness program. Hey, getting a baby is a huge achievement. And one thing is for sure: when they are not screaming or crying, sweet, soft babies can be incredibly happy. And you can see that from every mother. Promised!
