"Despite my slight obsession with TikTok, I don’t create a lot of parenting videos of my own. But I wanted to know what my “for you” page looked like compared to other moms. After all, if you ask someone about their love language or Enneagram, you’re likely to get an answer very quickly. This made me wonder, what kind of TikTok mom are you?
Not only are Guardian Bikes designed to grow with your kid, but they ship 99% assembled so putting them together literally takes five minutes (a parent's dream gift).
Parenting is hard, even on a good day. So it’s no surprise that more and more moms are uploading to the viral social media site TikTok to rant, laugh, and cry with their followers. For those of you who don’t use the app or are new, there is a “For You Page” curated by the TikTok algorithm to show you videos by creators that the app thinks you might like based on past views, searches, and overall interactions.
While scrolling through TikTok, I realized that my slight obsession has turned into a sea of mom jokes, hot mess moms, and sometimes thirst traps by mamas I admire. I find myself laughing and sometimes cheering along with a mama who is doing her best and being an overall rockstar. In my opinion, TikTok is more than a social media platform—it’s become a social movement where millions of viewers are making connections, business opportunities, and long-lasting friendships.
If you are a fellow Millennial, you may remember the silly quizzes to determine which Harry Potter house you belonged to or what Disney Princess you’d be based on a ridiculously random list of questions. Well, think of this as an easy guide to help you find your niche of moms on this popular app that you will not regret following. Here are a few of my favorite moms on TikTok. See which ones resonate with you.

@Ntimapreusser | N’tima Preusser
It takes a lot for a parent to admit to overreacting, so I can’t help but respect Preusser’s flawless way of explaining how she forgot to lay out expectations and rules before letting her child drop a letter to her friend.
