Kim Kardashian is known to share fabulous throwback shots of her family for special days, and this Mother's Day was no exception.

However, one post in particular is receiving some pretty harsh feedback. The backlash came when the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star posted an old photo of her mom, Kris Jenner, reports BuzzFeed. The gorgeous shot of her Momager was taken shortly after she had given birth to Rob, with Kim noting she was posting it as an early Mother's Day tribute. In the lengthy caption, the KKW Beauty star gushed about her mom from start to finish. So what's the harm? Well...

The soon-to-be lawyer rubbed people the wrong way with what she said at the end. Mrs. West closed her post with, "Happy Mother’s Day mom, I love you beyond! And the first pic I posted of you in the bikini after you gave birth to Rob is MAJOR GOALS!!! Always, in everything you do!!!!!"

Followers were quick to call out the mom-of-four for allegedly body shaming via skinny praising. Many noted that calling Kris' postpartum body "GOALS" was sending the wrong message to women. One Twitter user wrote, "Why do we base GOALS on how skinny a woman can get after birthing a human?" Others found the heartfelt words a bit shallow. Another tweeted, "Tell what you love about your mom. Is it her caring? Her understanding? Her boundless love for you? Nope, she got skinny and tan after four babies!! GOALS."

So sure, Kris does look amazing in her bikini, but people continue to complain that placing the importance on her mom's appearance is a bad look for Kim.
