I’m a single mum-of-6 – people ask me ‘where are all their dads’ & slam me for not working to get extra funding


A MOTHER-OF-SIX has hit back at the nasty trolls who wrongly assume that her kids all have six different fathers.

The mum, only known as @tripletsplus3, took to TikTok after a recent video went viral and she was met with a barrage of brutal abuse.

According to woman, one of the main assumptions she tends to receive is that all six of her children, including triplets, belong to a different dad each – which couldn’t be further from the truth.

”The main assumption I get is ‘Where are all the dads?’. I mean, somebody said ‘Is it six different dads?’ – so they really haven’t watched any of the videos.

”Or bless them, they don’t really know how things work – because three of my children are triplets. So, there’s not six dads,” the 34-year-old said in a recent video.

The dark-haired beauty went on to explain that she and her former husband wanted to have four kids – but ended up having six.

However, the couple are currently in the process of getting a divorce – which has left the mum single.

”I don’t really understand what the problem is. Even if there was six different dads to six children, I’m not sure what issue that person has.”

Shaming the keyboard warriors, the mum also claimed that people think she hasn’t ”worked a single day” in her life – despite having worked at the same company since leaving school.

Unfortunately, a few months ago, she got made redundant and has since used the redundancy payment to have well-deserved time off.

In the meantime, the mother promised she’d ”train” and ”better” her CV whilst waiting ”for the triplets’ funding to increase” to be able to send them to a nursery.

”Even with funding if it kicks in, if I went back full-time with them on 15 hours, I’d still have to pay over £2k – I’m not sure what everybody wants me to do,” she slammed the vicious trolls.

In the five-minute long clip, the mother also added that she looked into female sterilisation after welcoming the triplets – however, so far, she’s been warned the NHS may not approve her.

”They told me […] I’m young – which I disagree with. I am young but in fertility years, I am getting to the older side.

”They also said ‘Because you’re going through a divorce, they may deem it that you may find somebody else and want more children’.

What help is available to parents for childcare costs?

CHILDCARE can be a costly business. Here is how you can get help.

  • 30 hours of free childcare  – Parents of three and four-year-olds can apply for 30 hours of free childcare a week.
    To qualify you must work at least 16 hours a week at the national living or minimum wage and earn less than £100,000 a year.
  • Tax credits – For children under 20, some families can get help with childcare costs.
  • Tax-free childcare – Available to working families and the self-employed, for every £8 you put in the government will add an extra £2.

”Now, I don’t want children and my chances of having triplets, I’ve been told, or twins again are one in ten.

”I don’t want any more children as it is – and I certainly don’t want eight or nine children.

”I have six, I am more than happy with six.”

If the NHS experts don’t give her the green light, the mum will look into going private.

‘How amazing is this girl?’

While the mother does get trolling online, she thanked the majority of the viewers who leave positive comments – and this clip was no exception.

Close to a whopping 100 supportive fans flocked to praise the single mum, with one writing: ”How rude people are. You don’t have to justify yourself to anyone! None of us do!

”You are a great Mum and your children are a credit to you. Go and have a flippin’ nice coffee.”

Another chimed in: ”I am constantly saying to my husband ‘how amazing is this girl, I dnt knw how she does it’.

”I get how frustrating it is tho for every troll there r thousands of people who will think u r awesome.”

Someone else agreed, commenting: ”What sad people who feel they have the right to ask such personal questions, all I see is a hard working mum who gives their children all their needs, ignore them.”

”Unhappy and unfulfilled people leave remarks that reflect their life! You’re amazing!” a fourth reminded.
