There’s nothing quite like the dynamic between a mom and her teenage daughter, especially when it comes to social media boundaries. Gwyneth Paltrow, the iconic star of Iron Man, recently experienced this firsthand when her 14-year-old daughter, Apple Martin, laid down the law about her mom’s Instagram habits. It all started when Gwyneth, 46, decided to share a sweet photo of the two of them sitting together on a ski lift. What could possibly go wrong, right?

Well, as it turns out, plenty. In the comments section of the post, Apple wasn’t shy about expressing her feelings. “Mom, we have discussed this,” she firmly reminded her famous mother. “You may not post anything without my consent.” Now, if you’re thinking Apple’s mom might back down, think again. Gwyneth, with her signature snarky wit, quipped back, “You can’t even see your face!” And she’s absolutely right—Apple’s face is hidden behind her oversized snow goggles and helmet, leaving only Gwyneth’s beaming smile visible in the photo. Take a look at the picture below and see for yourself!

Another user joked, “My daughter was exactly like this as a teenager! And guess what? At 31 years old, she’s still the same way!” It’s moments like these that remind us we’re all in the same boat when it comes to raising kids in the age of social media.

Gwyneth's Parenting Struggles: Not the First Time

This isn’t the first time Gwyneth, who is also the mom to Moses Martin, 12, has faced some pushback from her kids. Back in January, the blonde beauty admitted that her two children, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Martin, are going through that tricky phase where they want nothing to do with her. And let me tell you, it doesn’t get much tougher than that.

During an appearance on The Rachael Ray Show, Gwyneth opened up about how she’s become the ultimate embarrassment in her kids’ eyes. “I am mortifying,” she confessed. “Like, I am the most embarrassing person all of a sudden. It’s been a couple of good years now that I’ve been the most embarrassing person. If I do anything silly in public, the color drains from [Apple’s] face. Any silly jokes, or if I dance, like, in a store, God forbid. She’s like, ‘Mom!’ and I’m like, ‘OK, sorry, got it.’”

Gwyneth’s Dancing Drama: Another Hilarious Encounter

Just a few days later, Gwyneth, now married to Brad Falchuk, shared even more details about her awkward parenting moments with Jimmy Fallon. “There was this really great song playing while we were on a shopping trip with Apple,” she recalled during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “And she just looked at me, like, ‘Don’t even think about it.’ And I was like, ‘Oooh, Apple,’ and she’s like, ‘Do not, Mom.’” It’s moments like these that remind us all just how relatable Gwyneth is, despite her A-list status. Better luck next time, Gwyn!
