Instagram blogger Caitlin Fladager has hit out at her critics in a recent post. 

Fed up of being criticised for her clothing choice, she took at her haters and raised some pretty good points too!

"'Your kids only wear clothes from Walmart, while you get dressed up a lot. Not a good look for you as a mom.' That statement is something I get a lot." her post began.

"Yes, my kids clothes mostly come from Walmart, while I buy myself clothes from other stores. ⁣You know why? ⁣Because I am not constantly outgrowing them, like my kids are. ⁣I am not changing my mind daily about what colour I have randomly decided I don’t want to wear ever again. ⁣I am not a kid."

"I buy them cheaper clothes, because I refuse to be the mom who yells at them for spilling a drop of ice cream on a brand new shirt. I strive to be the mom who sees them spill, and says 'oh no big deal!'"

"I strive to be the mom who sees them playing in the dirt, not caring that they are ruining a brand new outfit. ⁣I strive to be the mom who teaches them there is more to life than having nice, expensive clothes.⁣"

"So yes, my kids mainly live in Walmart clothes. ⁣And they love it."

"The dirt, the smiles, and the ice cream makes me way more happier than a photo of them dressed in clothes they hate, that they will outgrow in a week."

"This right here, makes me so much happier."

She definitely has a way with words, well said! You can read the full unedited post below...
