A MUM-of-two has slammed trolls for parent-shaming her after she gave up alcohol.
Danielle Shearsmith, from Hull, East Yorks., overhauled her lifestyle by working with a personal trainer and ditching booze in order to prioritise her baby son.
The influencer has worked with a personal trainer and teamed up with fitness and mental health professionals to provide updates for her followers on Instagram, Hull Live reports.
But during one Instagram live, talking all things mental health, she told a councillor she has been judged for giving up alcohol, with other mums calling her “no fun”.
In a recent post, Danielle added: “Three reasons why I don’t drink – I have a baby that is very needy with me and I want to always be available to him, when he wakes at 2am I want to be sober when I have to sit on the floor of his room.
“I want to make decisions with a clear mind always. I’m trying to be healthy and give my body a rest from alcohol, I do not need it to make me ‘fun’ I got a personality for that.
“Do I judge others for drinking? Nope! So please don’t judge me.”
Danielle’s pals were quick to comment, with one writing: “What you do is what makes you NOT what people say.”
Another added: “Always do you.”
Danielle is not the only parent to speak out about their mum-shaming experiences online.
TikTok user Charli Clelland said she is shamed over the number of boundaries she sets for those around her baby girl – including making people wash their hands before they touch her.
Meanwhile, Chey Singh, from the US, has faced criticism for the unhealthy meals she makes her kids.
And TikTok mum @Elliekets says she is mum-shamed all the time for having a C-section, with bullies claiming she “didn’t really give birth”.
The mum recently recounted someone saying: “‘Well, since you had a C-section, you didn’t go through labour, so you didn’t really give birth’.”
Hitting back, she asked: “Can we all just support each other instead of constantly comparing situations?”
