Tori Spelling mom-shamed for letting her kids look, well … normal
The typical back-to-school photo backfired on Tori Spelling when trolls decided her four kids didn't look up to snuff. Commenters called out her son's weight, the kids' lack of new clothes and haircuts—and the fact that their T-shirts weren't ironed.

When Gabrielle Union posted a video of her kissing baby Kaavia over and over, with "I Like the Way" by Hi-Five playing in the background, some of her Instagram followers simply weren't having it.

Most of us know better than to go up against Chrissy Teigen on social media—but some people just don't learn.

Khloé Kardashian mom-shamed for putting a head wrap on her daughter
Hating on the Kardashians and Jenners is its own cottage industry, so the amount of mom-shaming any one of them receives comes as no surprise. Perhaps it's how minuscule the issue can be—such as Khloé Kardashian putting her daughter, True, in a head wrap. What's just an adorable (and on-trend!) accessory is called-out by haters as Kardashian being "ashamed" of her daughter's hair.

Kylie Jenner mom-shamed for going to Coachella
One of the quickest ways to draw the ire of mom-shamers is to appear to have an adult social life when you also have a newborn. So, when Kylie Jenner posted photos of herself at Coachella, one with the caption, "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom," the knives were out almost immediately. Trolls even took to her Twitter feed a month earlier to suggest that a woman with nails like Kylie's couldn't possibly be changing diapers.

And then there's Kim, who is scrutinized as a mother of three almost daily. She can't straighten her daughter North's hair, or let her wear makeup.

Jessa and Jinger Duggar mom-shamed for just about everything they do
Like the Kardashians, people love to hate the Duggars. And it's just as pointed at Jessa and Jinger. Why? Because mom-shaming is the social media trend that just wouldn't go away in 2018.
Here's to hoping 2019 will be a kinder, gentler year for all you moms out there.
