Mothers’ and fathers’ social media use and parenting stress.
Streaming services have become a staple for many moms, offering a convenient way to access a wide range of content. Some popular streaming services among moms include:
The "sharenting" economy has turned children into content. Moms watching family vloggers are participating in an industry where children’s privacy is routinely violated. Entertainment becomes exploitation.
Moms are tired of the perfect mom or the evil mom. They want the morally gray mother—the one who loves her kids but also misses her old life. The one who acts selfishly but feels guilty. Shows like Succession (Caroline Collingwood) and The White Lotus (Daphne) are scratching this itch, but the market is far from saturated.
In addition to traditional television, online platforms and social media have given rise to a new generation of mom influencers and content creators. These women have built massive followings by sharing their personal experiences, parenting tips, and product reviews, creating a sense of community and connection with their audiences.
