A MOTHER has opened up on having to “gut” her “feral” kids’ bedroom.
But Amy, who is currently pregnant with her fourth daughter, has now found herself at the centre of a barrage of abuse from mean trolls.

The mother, who has racked up 30,000 followers on TikTok, explained that her three kids share a bedroom and have left it “a state.”
As a result, the content creator, who is from Ribble Valley District, Lancashire, got to work on giving the space a total transformation.
Posting on social media, Amy, who has a fourth baby girl on the way, said: “This is day one of completely gutting out my three feral kids’ bedrooms because they ruin everything that they ever have.”
Showing off the crowded bedroom which was in desperate need of a makeover, the young woman confirmed that the reason the bedroom “looked a state” was because she had used thick, washable paint which the girls had “picked off when they were bored.”
Not only this, but Amy, who just days ago opened up on behind ‘attacked’ whilst on a Haven holiday, spoke about the curtains in her daughter’s bedroom.
“They had a pink blind which they also ripped down because, as I say, they’re feral, so there are old grey curtains – nothing matches in this room and it’s doing my head in,” she added.
Eager to get the bedroom cleaned up, the mother continued: “We used a bit of red [paint] from our front room to try and fix it for a little while, but we needed to smash it up and gut it out.”
As well as this, Amy, who is redecorating the room as part of a Christmas present to her youngsters, recognised that the space has “way too many chest of drawers” because her daughters have “so many clothes.”
Subsequently, she explained: “We smashed them all up, we’ve got a wardrobe coming, a triple bunk bed and another chest of drawers – hopefully that’s gonna save space.”
Getting candid on the room’s overhaul, she acknowledged: “We’ve got to strip all the red off, which has been a right f*****g pain in the a** and regloss because the gloss from before had gone yellow for some reason.”
Social media users react
But Amy’s clip, which was posted under the username @m.g.c_24_7, had clearly left many open-mouthed, as at the time of writing, it had quickly racked up 83,700 views in just 24 hours.
Viewers were left gobsmacked by the children’s bedroom, but rather than support the desperate mother in getting it transformed, many slammed Amy’s parenting and told her to teach her daughters “respect.”
You as their mother have let their room get into that state. Don’t blame the children

One person asked: “Sooo teaching them to respect you, the home and their things has never been considered?”
Another added: “This new trend of condoning “feral” children is shocking! Teach your kids manners and respect!”
Different parenting techniques
Here are some widely recognised methods:
Authoritative Parenting
This technique will often foster independence, self-discipline, and high self-esteem in children.
It is often considered the most effective, this technique is where parents set clear expectations – enforcing rules – whilst also showing warmth and support.
Authoritarian Parenting
This is opposite to authoritative parenting, as it is where the parent sets high demands but is low on responsiveness.
It involves ensuring the child is obedient and often employ punitive measures. While this can lead to disciplined behaviour, it may also result in lower self-esteem and social skills in children.
Permissive Parenting
Permissive parents tend to be indulgent and lenient, often taking on a role more akin to a friend than an authority figure. They are highly responsive but lack demandingness, granting children a lot of freedom. This method can nurture creativity and a free-spirited nature but may also result in poor self-regulation and difficulties with authority.
Uninvolved Parenting
Uninvolved or neglectful parenting is marked by low responsiveness and low demands. Parents in this category offer minimal guidance, nurturing, or attention. This often leaves children feeling neglected, which can have significant negative effects on their emotional and social development.
Helicopter Parenting
Helicopter parents are extremely involved and overprotective, frequently micromanaging their children’s lives. Although their goal is to protect and support, this approach can hinder a child’s ability to develop independence and problem-solving skills.
Free-Range Parenting
Free-range parenting encourages children to explore and learn from their surroundings with minimal parental interference. This method promotes independence and resilience but requires a safe and supportive environment to be successful.
Attachment Parenting
According to Marriage.com, Attachment parenting focuses on physical closeness and emotional bonding, often through practices such as co-sleeping and baby-wearing. This approach aims to create secure attachments and emotional well-being, but demands significant time and emotional commitment from parents.
Each of these parenting techniques has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The key is to find a balanced approach that aligns with the family’s values and meets the child’s needs for a healthy, happy upbringing.
A third commented: “You as their mother have let their room get into that state. Don’t blame the children.”
Meanwhile, someone else penned: “I’m more concerned about the stacking or the furniture if that was to fall on the children they would be seriously hurt.”
To this, Amy responded and replied: “Thanks for your concern but it was all bolted into the wall for safety.”
