I’m a teen mum & have two kids at 19 – I get shamed for feeding them junk & people feel sorry for me but what can I do?
A WOMAN has revealed that she is 19-years-old and has two children.
Alexis Marie, who fell pregnant with her first child at the age of 13, then went on to have her second child, by the time she was 18.
Now, the teen mum-of-two lives in a camper van with her young kids.
The 19-year-old stay-at-home mum regularly posts day-in-the-life videos on her social media, where fans can view her meals and cleaning techniques.
In a short clip shared online, we saw Alexis dish up lunch for her two children.
She said: “Lunch with a 19-year-old mum with two kids.”

We first saw Alexis add the Smuckers Goober peanut butter and grape spread to white bread.
She then folded each piece of white bread in half and on each plate added some crisps.
To finish off the lunch, Alexis then gave each of her children half of a Graham cracker - a sweet flavoured cracker very popular in the US.
You literally don’t have a job and stay home all day. You don’t have an excuse to feed your children trash.

We then saw the two youngsters tuck into their lunch - but the clip has left social media users divided.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @alexis_marie125, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up a whopping 956,400 views.
But people were left with varying thoughts at the video - while some admitted they felt ‘sorry’ for the young mother, others weren’t impressed with the ‘trash’ that she was feeding her little ones.
One person said: “I hope you're ok, so sorry for you.”
Another added: “You literally don’t have a job and stay home all day. You don’t have an excuse to feed your children trash.”
A third commented: “That’s not a lunch..”
Whilst someone else penned: “Have enough to get your nails done but don't have enough to get some apples or bananas? These kids' teeth and health are gonna be so bad.”
Meanwhile, someone else claimed: “I don't understand teen pregnancy these days... You have your whole life ahead of you! I think it only ends in sadness and regret.”
However, at the same time, others were keen to support the young mother.
One user penned: “That looks so good. Those babies are lucky to have a mama who will take the time to make them food.”
A second chimed in: “Fed is best no matter what, keep it up mama!”
Another user claimed: “You are doing a great job. Please ignore any hate.”
