I was a teen mum – I’m always the youngest at the school gate but I’m not ashamed, although people love to stare
MOST mums want to look good at the school gates, but one woman claims that she is constantly being judged by other parents.
It’s not Ebony’s outfits that are turning heads though, but her age – with the young mum being the youngest at pick up and drop off.
Whilst being judged in the playground might make us feel awkward, the Tiktok star has joked about her experiences on the app.
Rather than shying away from the issue, the content creator has hit back at critics with a tongue-in-cheek video about being the youngest mum in the playground.
Donning her best faux fur cost, all white outfit and huge sunnies, she strutted her stuff as she walked towards the school.
Pouting towards the camera, her long brunette locks peaked beneath the hood of her coat with the mum-of-two looking flawless.
In fact, Ebony’s confidence shone through as the sound bite said: “Just another day of being a MILF.”
She then added a kiss emoji and echoed the sound clip, writing: “Just another day being the youngest mum at the school gate.”
Despite now being 27, the mum still gets some strange looks and even made light of the awkward situation.
Though the video was hilarious, it has raised an important point about the intense judgement that she’s experience ever since becoming a mum at 16.
Heartbreakingly, the now mum-of-two has revealed that she faced similar criticism when she first discovered she was pregnant.
In a heart-breaking post, she admitted: “You spend years being judged for teen pregnancy, forever feeling like you have a point to prove.”
Continuing, she added: “I had to work twice as hard in all area. But I never let my age be a limitation on my ability to be a good mum, have a career, [and] learn and discover who I was.”
Whilst Ebony has now become a successful dental hygienist, she admits that she wonders what her life would have like without teen pregnancy.
“You love your new life with your baby, but wonder who you would have been,” the influencer confessed, revealing that she’d even lost school friends because their lives were so different.
Despite being so young at the time, the content creator revealed that she is proud of her young family and just how far she’s come.
Not only has she built a career for herself and provide for her son, the now 27-year-old has also welcome a daughter.
The pair regularly go viral with their snippets of daily life, including an adorable video of the mum and her little one wearing matching Barbie pyjamas.
Reflecting on her life over the last decade, she wrote: “I wish the young girl I once was could see the woman I am today.”
“All the tears and the trauma, it was not forever,” she said, adding: “In the darkest moments, I never imagined life could feel this bright again…never lose hope.”
Whilst some might judge her, we couldn’t be more impressed with Ebony.
