Why this blogger wants to end young mum 'shaming'

"Stop, stop, stop it."

That's 23-year-old Milly's message to people who 'parent shame' young mums like herself.

The Hull-based blogger and mum of 2-year-old Elijah says she has faced judgement as a young mum with mental health issues.

"Parent shaming comes pretty much from the get-go."

"Unless you have been in their shoes, you have no idea what a person is feeling," she said.

"Just know that they are probably trying their best."

In a report published by the Young Women's Trust, 73% of mums between 16-24 said they had experienced 'rudeness' or 'unpleasant behaviour' while out with their children.
