A MUM has sparked controversy after admitting she doesn’t let her kids shower daily, because it costs too much.
Georgia is known for sharing her often inflammatory parenting opinions on her social media sites, and recently took to TikTok to post a video of the “controversial things I do as a mum”.

She added she’s “fully expecting all the mums to come at me with their pitchforks”, as she insisted it’s enough for her children to shower every other day.
“They don’t have a shower or bath every day,” Georgia said.
“Do they f**k!
“Do you know how much it costs? My water bill.

“Every other day you can have a shower or a bath.”
Georgia does her best to keep her bills down however she can, and that includes the food she prepares for her kids, as she insisted they have a max of “three home-cooked meals a week”.
“Do I look like a bank or do I look like I won the EuroMillions?” she said.
“I don’t think I do, do I? No.
“So therefore, you will have three home-cooked meals a week, the rest can be freezer food.
“Maybe even a McDonald’s, come at me!”
She also said that another thing she doesn’t allow is her kids to enter the bathroom when she’s in there.
“I don’t allow them while I’m having a wee, while I’m showering, to be in the room with me,” Georgia continued.
“As they get older that rule will become more important.
“But still at a young age, my youngest is two, you are not allowed in the same room as me while I’m doing my own thing.”
And don’t even think about asking Georgia to play with her kids all day.
“Reason one, it bores me,” she sighed.

“Reason two, they need to learn independence.
“I’ve got washing to do, I’ve got washing up to do, I’ve got hoovering to do.
“I have things to do other than being a mum.”
Georgia concluded her video by revealing number five on her list – namely that if her kids wake up at 5am, they are under strict instructions not to wake her up.
“Go back to your room when you play, go back to your room and watch a video or something, but do not come into my room at 5am and expect me to wake up and do your breakfast,” she said.
Despite expecting trolls, Georgia did get some support in the comments section, with one person writing: “F**k the haters!
“My kids will go downstairs and do whatever if they are up early. They know what they can and can’t do.
“And absolutely I do not play all day everyday day, I’m not a playmaster!!!!”
“I can’t play all day I’d go insane!!!” Georgia replied.
