She Started Crying After People Said That A Picture Of Her And Her 19-Year-Old Daughter In Bikinis On A Cancun Vacation Was Not Appropriate To Put On Social Media
This 56-year-old woman has two teenage children– a daughter named Linda, who is 19, and a son named Connor, who is 16.
And in an attempt to connect more with her kids, she decided to get Snapchat and Instagram accounts.
Now, she admits that she is still getting the hang of social media platforms. But Connor helped show her how they worked.
Her husband Bill, who is 55, has absolutely no interest in social media, though, since “its just not his thing.”
Regardless, she hoped to figure out the platforms to stay in touch with the teens.
Anyway, she and Linda wound up taking a vacation to Cancun for spring break. This was something they talked about during the COVID-19 lockdown, and they were really looking forward to it.
And while on the trip, she and her daughter took a lot of beautiful photos. So, for her first post on social media, she decided to use a Cancun picture.
“I figured it would be extremely sweet if it was a photo of Linda and me at the beach,” she recalled.
Unfortunately, though, the photo of her and her daughter in bikinis was not perceived well by everyone.

Instead, the very next day after she posted the picture, her son Connor revealed that his friends saw the image and had been saying inappropriate things about both her and her daughter.
Connor also claimed that it was gross seeing his sister and mom dressed like that, anyway, and actually wanted her to take the post down.
Soon afterward, Linda found out about everything, too. At that point, her daughter revealed that another friend’s mom also agreed and said it was not appropriate to be putting herself and her daughter out there “like that.”
And honestly, that was really shocking and upsetting for her to hear. She never had any bad intentions in posting that photo.
But, after realizing that everyone thought it was inappropriate, she couldn’t stop crying.
Thankfully, her husband Bill was there to comfort her. Howver, he has been pretty neutral about the whole situation; meanwhile, her kids are giving her the cold shoulder.
Connor specifically has been acting very weird toward her.
“I can tell he’s grossed out having seen his mother and sister like that, and I don’t know how to approach him,” she said.
Linda has not said much to her since the incident, either.
Finally, she has no clue how to reconcile this situation with the mother of her daughter’s friend and is pretty upset the mom said anything at all.
“It hurts because we’ve honestly had really nice conversations in the past whenever we saw each other,” she vented.
Still, with basically everyone against her about the photo, she’s been left wondering whether posting a photo of her and her daughter in bikinis at the beach was really so horrible.
Why do you think people took such an issue with her and her 19-year-old daughter wearing bikinis at the beach? If you were in her shoes, would you feel upset, too? Do you think it was really inappropriate of her to post that picture or not?
