A WOMAN who tied her triplets' sleeves together to stop them from hurting one another has hit back at mum-shamers. <\/p>\n
She's mother to three identical boys, and clearly has her hands full with the trio. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
When they were little, she caused a huge debate by sharing a video which showed two of her sons sitting in the back of a wagon with their sleeves tied together. <\/p>\n
And as she re-shared the video on Instagram, the mum insisted she'd do the same again. <\/p>\n
"I\u2019d still do this a million times over to stop them hurting each other!" she wrote. <\/p>\n
"They were so unfazed by having their sleeves tied, they just went to scratch, realised they couldn\u2019t and they then focused on why their arms weren\u2019t moving instead."<\/p>\n
She added that "all they needed to do was pull their arms down out of their top and they would have been free". <\/p>\n However, people were still quick to judge her, and took to the comments section to have their say. <\/p>\n "Terrible!" one raged. <\/p>\n "These are children, not toys. Imagine if someone restricted your hands this way! <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "This is unacceptable. Learn to use appropriate parenting techniques."<\/p>\n "Just tell them don\u2019t touch each other!!" another insisted.<\/p>\n "What\u2019s wrong with you!! Be a parent. You wanted them!!"<\/p>\n "Kids are like sponges, they learn what they see their parents do," a third commented. <\/p>\n "They are the results of their upbringing. If you all think restraining them by force and putting fear on your kids bc are your kids is the best solution\u2026. I am just wondering how were you all raised by your parents.<\/p>\n "It shows me clearly that some of you all are very angry people."<\/p>\n But others defended the mum, pointing out that her solution clearly worked, and didn't hurt them. <\/p>\n "They are your kids\u2026you need to do what works\u2026its not cruel! Its not like you do this all the time\u2026" one wrote. <\/p>\n "Your children your rules. You weren\u2019t hurting them. You were stopping them hurting each other," another said. <\/p>\n "They didn\u2019t look distressed in the slightest and no doubt they learned from it."<\/p>\n "This is a great way to stop the behaviour. No one was distressed or hurt," a third agreed. <\/p>\n As someone else commented: "It\u2019ll teach them to stop doing it! & also\u2026 what\u2019s the alternative? <\/p>\n "They are hurting each other by pulling each others hair? That\u2019s surely worse. <\/p>\n "I\u2019ve got twins and can relate and it\u2019s so frustrating when all they are doing is fighting and screaming!"<\/p>\n<\/picture>Spud celebration<\/span><\/p>\n
