One of them might indeed be 'they couldn't care less'; but, they could also behave that way because of negative feelings.
After thinking about it some more, I suppose even if people don't care about the approval of the community, of acquaintances, someone they may run into at walmart, ect. - they most likely will at least need the approval of their closest loved ones to be truly content.
The important thing here is not to let your low self-esteem, let's say, as a social networker, shutter your self-esteem as a mum.
Thank you for your kind words and for adding perspective! Thing is, my Steemit self-esteem and my mothering self-esteem are not separate spheres. My tendency to spend too much time absorbed in Steemit is what feeds the mom-guilt I have.
Excellent reflection you have done here based on my reply. Thank you :*
