Pink Shuts Down The “Parenting Police” In Emotional Instagram Post

It’s time to put a stop to toxic mum-shaming

When it comes to defending her two children and parenting style, Pink has never held back. The 39-year-old isn’t a stranger to being bullied on social media and has once again taken aim at Instagram tolls and so-called “parenting police.” 

The furore erupted when the Perfect singer shared a photo of her daughter Willow and son Jameson running through the grass while the sprinklers were on. 

“Here’s a picture of my child running through water. It wasn’t even filtered. What a waste of water,” she wrote, taking a subtle swipe at anyone who was planning to put her on blast. “And no helmet? I hope she had sunscreen. If she slips and falls she may be traumatized for life. And her mother wasn’t even there. I was….. gasp…. working!!!! In another country!”

She continued: “#instagramisfun #f**ktheparentingpolice #ifyoufeellikeunfollowingpleasegoddoitquickly #opinionsarelikeassholes #somanyassholes” 

Back in April, Pink (whose real name is Alicia Moore) told Ellen DeGeneres that she was done sharing photos or videos of her and husband Carey Hart’s two children. Her decision came after she was slammed for sharing a photo of her children playing with a pelican in which Jameson could be seen not wearing a diaper.

“People went as far as saying someone should call child services because he didn’t have a diaper on and how dare I … some of the nastiest things,” Pink told Ellen. 

“I cried so hard after that because I like to share my family. It’s my proudest moment. I’m prouder of my kids than anything I’ve done in my whole life.”

But that won’t happen anymore, according to the singer, because, “I just won’t share them anymore. I won’t do it. I’m not posting pictures of them anymore.”
