Mommy Bloggers are a mixed bag. There are some are normal, fun and helpful, but others are in the sickeningly intolerable category. You know, the ones that obnoxiously talk down to other moms and think their superior parenting skills have produced earthly angel children (aka, living hobgoblins that terrorize society)? We’re talking about the ultimate sanctimommies. And then we have Mommy Bloggers like Katie Bower.
Bower is a Mommy Blogger from Atlanta raising five children. She also has an Instagram account that has amassed over 52,000 followers.
Bower is one of those moms who regularly talk about their kids on social media; I mean calling them by their full, real names, visible photos, the works. These are the children who have been on the Internet from Day One. The world has witnessed their explosive diarrhea, first baths, and spit-ups. Basically, these are children who will be publicly humiliated once they are old enough to understand shame.
However, Bower has upped the ante on destroying her children’s lives by blatantly treating them as a commodity. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Bower took to social media to bemoan about how her six-year-old son’s birthday party pictures didn’t garner enough “likes.” According to Bower, her six-year-old was the least “liked” out of all her children.
Omg this Instagram mommy blogger is celebrating her sons bday by writing about how out of all her kids, he “statistically” performs the worse on her Instagram. And she’s worried one day it will ruin his self esteem 👀💀 pic.twitter.com/QpFfJwDOab

Bower explained this saying:
“Instagram never liked my munchkin and it killed me inside. His photos never got as many likes. Never got comments. From a statistical point of view, he wasn’t as popular with everyone out there. I say that all because I want to believe it wasn’t him.””
What. The. F**k. This woman went to the public and announced that her six-year-old child was an inferior product that wasn’t performing as well as the other models (sorry, the other “children”). And if you think that’s bad, it only gets worse. Bower than starts to urge her followers to go back on her Instagram and like, comment, etc. on her son’s photos, saying:
“So can we do this right? Because I truly KNOW that my Munch deserves all the likes… whether or not a stranger gives it to them. And on his sixth birthday — I am thankful I know that… that no matter what other people think of me or my kids or my marriage or my house of my life or my everything… “
Thankfully, the humane parents of the world saw Bower for the narcissistic, superficial twat that she is, and immediately called out her atrocious behavior. Bower tried to defend herself by saying :
“I wanted to clarify that I revealed this feeling because I know one day he will see the numbers and have to learn that his value is not online approval. This is a hard lesson for anyone to learn and I’m thankful I have learned it.”
This fucking bitch. Yeah, maybe you wouldn’t have to worry about your kid having low self-esteem from his lack of Instagram likes if you didn’t plaster his underage pictures all over the Internet. And maybe this wouldn’t be a concern if you didn’t treat him and his siblings like merchandise to fuel your repugnant brand.
Seriously, Katie Bower is a garbage human being and her kids are the ones who are going to end up paying for her overall shittiness. Honestly, I hope that Bower’s brand is making her good money. She’s going to need it for all five of her products’ future therapy bills.
