I’m a pregnant mum-of-11 & get called lazy for making no effort with the kids’ dinner – I don’t care, I’m tired

A MUM-of-11 has hit back at cruel trolls who criticise her cooking.

TikTok user @thismadmama shared some examples of the meals she makes her bumper brood and said she doesn’t care about comments she gets as she is so “tired.”

Veronica Merritt hit back at people criticising the meals she cooks for her 11 kids

Veronica was met with a mixed response to her meals

Veronica Merritt, 36, from New York, who has over 100,000 TikTok followers, previously was slammed as serving “prison food” to her kids.

She hit back saying: “Today I made no effort to cook anything fancy for my 11 kids, and I know it was all sugar, salt and junk, but I’m tired, pregnant and cranky.

“Go ahead and hate on me, I don’t care, I’m human, I have days off, at least the kids ate.”

Many people were supportive of her efforts, with one saying: “Don’t listen to the negativity.”

Another added: “No mum guilt, you fed them.”

However, one person said: “Then don’t have 11 kids.”

Pregnant Veronica previously uploaded a video showing how she makes a pasta dish for her bumper brood.

She said: “For tonight’s dinner I decided to go with just a simple, meatless pasta with some sauce and some frozen veggies and some garlic bread.”

Veronica firstly cooked the pasta in boiling water, while adding 12 sticks of garlic bread to the oven.

After cooking the vegetables and adding a tomato sauce to the pasta, she then plates up the meal for her family.

People were quick to slam the meal – including criticising the quality.

One said: “Poor kids.”

Another added: “Looks like prison food.”

However, some defended her saying: “At least she feeds her kids.”

This follows her getting trolls saying she serves her children “low value foods.”

Veronica, who doesn’t use contraception, previously told Fabulous “it escalated quickly” after she accidentally fell pregnant with Victoria, now 21, while at school.

She also has Andrew, 16, Adam, 15, Mara, 13, Dash, 12, Darla, 10, Marvelous, eight, Martalya, six, Amelia, four, Delilah, three, and Donovan, one.

The mum revealed how she colour-codes her children and dresses them all in their own hue.

Speaking of why she dresses her kids in their own colour, Veronica said to Fabulous: “I don’t know why I do it, but I grew up watching Care Bears, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, etc.

“Characters are always colour-coded.”
