I get that the bond between a mom and her new baby is a deeply primal and almost inexplicable thing, but let's be real. There is only so much affection that an entirely dependent tiny human can communicate. It's going to be a while before they understand this whole 'love' thing as a concept, even if they can feel it!

However, it's not like that is going to stop influencer parents from romanticizing early parenthood in the most nonsensical way possible. This is what one mom was recently roasted for on Twitter. She said that her baby had the love language of physical touch, referencing the popular system used to describe the ways that people prefer to give and receive affection. People had some witty quips in response to her somewhat exaggerated claim that really underlined the absurdity of it. Whatever gets you through the continued sleep deprivation, I guess.
