A WOMAN has revealed that she was raised in a caravan and trolls are really bothered by it.
Michele Dalton, a mum-of-four who had her first child at the age of 13, explained that haters suggest a correlation between growing up on a trailer park, and having a child young.
However, the 36-year-old grandmother from the US, was keen to clap back to the doubters, as she explained that “the size of your home means nothing”.
Posting on social media, the content creator was eager to respond to a comment from a troll that read: ‘Keep it classy. Surprised there’s no trailer park in the background.’
The brunette beauty then filmed herself, as she sat in her car and said: “Just because I had my baby at 13, it has nothing to do with the house that I was raised in. I don’t know why so many people are bothered by trailers.”
Michele claimed that she “doesn’t understand” the correlation between teenage pregnancy and trailer parks, as she continued: “Being that a teen mum was raised in a trailer park is stupid to me. I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen amazing trailers.”
The influencer suggested that her husband is keen to live in a caravan and she isn’t going to shut the idea down.
She added: “My husband would love nothing more than to have 100 acres and a trailer – and with the direction of how crazy this world’s going, I’m becoming more and more open to the idea.”
Not only this, but Michele explained that she thinks it’s “comical” that people have an issue with static homes.
The mother continued: “So what is the issue with trailers? I don’t really understand. The size of your home means absolutely nothing.
“Small houses are capable of holding the exact same amount of love that big houses are, so to judge someone based on your lack of knowledge…it’s comical.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @micheledalton_, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 23,300 views.
Social media users rushed to the comments, eager to share messages of love and support for Michele.
One person said: “Some of the best people I know live or have lived in a trailer.”

Another added: “You are so right. I lived in a trailer park for six years and I’ve been treated so poorly because of that. Thank you for saying this.”
A third commented: “Some of my best friends grew up in a trailer park! I was there all the time! I just saw it as a home!”
What matters most is the love shown within the four walls

Meanwhile, someone else beamed: “I love your videos!! I’m so proud of you!”
At the same time, one woman claimed: “There’s nothing wrong with trailers! People are just small minded.”
Not only this, but another agreed: “People are ignorant…. A home is a home doesn’t matter how much it costs or where it is.”
To this, Michele wrote: “Absolutely girl, small home, big home – what matters most is the love shown within the four walls.”
