Charlotte Dawson opens up about ‘painful’ mum-shaming after she hit back at critics over the way she raises her children
CHARLOTTE Dawson said “I hate how the world is now” as she opened up about the mum-shamers who critique her parenting online.
The 31-year-old shares Noah, two, and four-month-old Jude with fiancé Matt Sarsfield.
Charlotte has shared her journey into motherhood on Instagram for fans to see, however it has also meant she’s had some very nasty comments thrown her way too.
The star – who is the daughter of late comedian Les Dawson – has been left heartbroken in recent months after vile trolls have called social services on her.
Speaking about the mum-shamers, Charlotte said: “It’s bloody painful to listen to most of the time. Everything I do they seem to pick at.
“Because Noah has still got a dummy in his mouth I’m suddenly a bad mum, but he’s two-years-old.”
“I think I had a dummy in until I was six and I turned out alright.”
She continued to The Mirror: “I honestly hate how the world is now, it’s so annoying. I just feel like it’s so cr**.
“I don’t understand why people have the urge to comment such horrible things on somebody else’s life.
“It’s got nothing to do with them and how me and Matthew bring our children up.
“Obviously I’ve had negative criticism my whole life and I have always told my mum that we need to just block it out when it came to things being said about my late dad Les.
“At the end of the day, these people are just not worth worrying about and obviously they have nothing better to do.
“When I was pregnant it really really get to me, but now that I’m a mum I suppose it does get to me a bit more because sometimes the things that people can say can get into your head and you start second-guessing yourself.
“But the majority of the the time these people behind the comments are just weirdos. Sometimes I have a laugh and I do react to some of the ridiculous things they say because some of it is just outrageously funny.”
Earlier this week Charlotte hit back at cruel mum-shamers in a new post.
n a clip showing her holding baby boy Jude, she said: “We do not care what people think.
“These people, these weirdos, are saying all sorts and guess what? We don’t bloody chuffing care.
“My boys are happy and content. It doesn’t matter if one’s got a dummy still or one’s not potty trained yet. Is it anything to do with you? I don’t comment on your life, do I? So don’t comment on mine – simple as.
“Just press unfollow, it’s not an issue. But you still follow me, though. I don’t get it. If you don’t like my content then chuff off.”
The reality star recently posted a clip of Noah playing with Jude – but some weren’t happy he was still using a dummy.
