A mum was branded "lazy" after a video she posted online showed her home was messy - covered in laundry and toys.
Laura Green, 30, made a video of her home in Leicester, and posted it on TikTok to show other parents it's ok not to be perfect.
She said she wanted to show "it's fine to take a break and tidy up later" - especially with the busy summer holidays approaching.
The mum-of-two under-fives wanted to share her experience after coming downstairs after putting her son to bed - and realising the house was a mess.
She decided to take a few minutes for herself before tidying up - and wanted to reassure parents it was ok to do the same.
But strangers online were not impressed.
She was branded a "messy young mum" - despite being 30 - and others even said she "shouldn't be allowed on the planet" if she couldn't do "women's work".
Others said she was just deliberately holding the camera up high to show off her cleavage, during the video filmed on Monday (8).
Laura, who worked as a senior consultant in an opticians before her children, aged one and four, laughed it off.
