The Duggar family is used to their fair share of criticisms online. However, it’s never cool for someone online to mom-shame a fellow mother for something so many kids do!
If you’re a fan of the Duggars, you’ll know mom-shaming is something that the women in the Duggar family deal with a lot.
Now, Joy-Anna Duggar is clapping back after receiving hate on Instagram for sharing a “real” parenting moment.
As you may know, Joy-Anna Duggar is one of the eldest Duggar sisters from the hit TLC show, *Counting On.*

If you’re an OG TLC fan, you would remember Joy-Anna and her whole Duggar family from the popular reality show, 19 Kids and Counting.
Now, the 23-year-old has a family of her own with hubby Austin Forsyth. The pair tied the knot back in 2017.

Joy-Anna and Austin have two children together, two-year-old son, Gideon, and four-month-old daughter, Evelyn Mae.
Joy-Anna keeps her social media open and honest, which is why so many people love to follow her!

While most of Joy-Anna’s followers are super supportive of the young mom, one troll felt the need to leave a r**e comment under the reality star’s latest Instagram post.
Posting a photo of a kitchen NIGHTMARE, Joy wrote:

“From the evidence left behind and only one toddler in the house. We came to the conclusion that Gideon was the culprit. It helped that he was covered with sugar and coffee grounds (and left his bike).”
She ended the post with the hashtag “#ipromiseiwatchmykids” before apologizing to her mom, Michelle: “Sorry, Momma @duggarfam about your pantry!”
I know, right? Can you believe this is a house and not a grocery store?!
I guess it makes sense when you’re a family with 19(!!!) kids and a growing list of grandchildren!
While most moms found the humor in it, others weren’t so impressed.

“Do you even watch your son?” one troll asked.
“Why wasn’t he being watched by someone?” asked another.
“Not funny. Hope he got disciplined somehow!!” echoed a different user.
“Looks like Gideon needs some supervision,” snarked another.

One follower, @sheisdaisyintheskywithdiamonds, went so far as to do an analysis on the Duggar grandchildren in the comments: “He looks like the most devious Duggar grandchild. If I had to pick the child that doesn’t do stuff like that it would be Spurgeon.”
Thankfully, many parents could relate to Joy’s post.

“Oh, mama, I identify with this type of discovery,” wrote one fan.
“It takes a matter of one second for a toddler to totally destroy a room. All mamas have been there! Thanks for being real!” agreed another.
Many fans even left funny comments to drown out the hateful ones.
“Whatever he was planning on making, can he share the recipe?” joked one user.
“This is REALLY funny – but only because it’s your pantry, and not mine,” laughed another.
Now I’m not a mom, but I think it’s pretty d**n normal for a toddler to make a mess!

I love that Joy-Anna shared this “real” parenting moment as a reminder to every parent out there that no one is perfect!
Joy has yet to reply to the mean comments, and honestly, I hope she doesn’t!
She doesn’t need that negativity!
