The most common comment, according to the mum to Kai, is that people assume that the fathers of Kai and Kove are different.
On the topic of fathers, “Is the dad still around?” Samantha is often asked this question.
There were also fellow TikTok mums and mums-to-be who were treated in a similar way, with one sharing: “I’m in the same boat with a 1-year-old and due early July and I get judged so much for it!”
Although most viewers were understanding and kind, there were some who disagreed with Samantha’s choices.
“Well, what are answers to those questions? One commenter said, “No more babies for now.”
“Get better protection so you can care for yourself and boys,” she added.
Samantha didn’t let that slide: “My children were planned!”
“People thing that just because I’m young, this isn’t the life I wanted, lol!”
Samantha isn’t the only young mum who’s being trolled – “I’m 25 with a 14-year-old son, people always shame me for it but I love being a young mum.”
