AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The Sheltering Suburban Mom meme features an image macro format that humorously portrays the archetype of a suburban, overly protective mother who often contradicts her own advice to her children. The meme typically includes a photo of a woman with a concerned or assertive expression, which serves to visually emphasize the hypocrisy or humorous irony of the text captioned above and below her image.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated using an image of Carly Phillips, a best-selling romance novel author, although the reasons for her association with the character portrayed remain unclear. The first documented use of this image as a meme was on May 5th, 2011, when it appeared on Quickmeme and Reddit's communities dedicated to image macros.
