The Mum posted: “Making all their food from scratch – lasted a few months after baby number one, ain’t nobody got time for that.”

“Force them to clean their bedrooms – sometimes it takes more energy to make them do it than to do it myself, also I do it better” she added.

Not taking herself too seriously, the mum continued to reveal how she thought she could have made children fit into her life so simply before she had them.

“Make them adapt to my life schedule – ha ha ha ha babies and stuff” she typed.

In her final caption, she said: “Be nice to everyone – kindness, confidence and boundaries are far more important than being nice.”

The TikTok video posted under her domain @diaryofanhonestmom has over 12K views were met with a range of comments.
