MariClare Maclamroc expressed her desire to show that being a teen mom doesn’t equate to poor parenting, stating, "I want to show people that being a teen mom doesn't mean that you're a shitty parent, you don't take care of your kid." This perspective challenges stereotypes associated with young motherhood and empowers others by sharing their real-life experiences.
Maclamroc, now 19, started documenting her journey after getting pregnant at 15, and her journey reflects a shift where teen moms become content creators instead of just subjects for scripted reality shows like MTV's 16 and Pregnant.
With the rise of TikTok, teen mothers like Maclamroc and Jenna Ronan are turning their experiences into profitable ventures, with Maclamroc earning between $10,000 and $30,000 a month from her content.
Jenna Ronan, reflecting on her transformation from a teen mom to a successful TikTok creator, stated, "Without this income, I’d still be living with my dad and working a minimum-wage job," highlighting the financial independence that social media can provide for young mothers.
