AS parents, we’ll do anything for our kids.
And for one mum, that involves sleeping in the lounge.

The mum-of-three took to TikTok initially to give viewers a tour of her house, explaining: “Some people are getting house shamed on here and I ain’t having it, so I’m just going to show you my house to make you feel a bit better about yours.”
She began by showing a pile of clean clothes that hadn’t been put away, and another pile of clothes, next to “my bed which is in my lounge”.
She was inundated with questions about why she sleeps in the living room, which she responded to in another video as she said: “Why is my bed in the living room?
“Because I have three children and we live in a two-bedroom house.
“So I have an 18-year-old stepdaughter who obviously has her own room, and then my one-year-old and four-year-old boys share a room.
“And then me and (partner) have the lounge.”
“It works for us and I love the area,” she added in the caption of the video.
She was quickly praised for her sacrifice by lots of people commenting on the video, with one writing: “Pure dedication from a loving mother that puts her children first always.”
“I have 6 children and I live in a 2 bedroom flat,” another added.
“My bedroom is in the sitting room. Sometimes you’ve got to do what you got to do.”
And a third wrote: “I always thought it was weird when we gave our room up for the kids but since I come to tiktok iv found out it’s not as weird as I thought.”
“It awful tough because with a big family you need a 3 bed council at least!” someone else commented.
“We been bidding for council house for years.”
She also shared a look at the messy parts of her house in a bid to make other people feel better about theirsCredit: tiktok
