A mum-of-three, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, has shared her messy home on TikTok, as she's fed up of seeing beautiful, pristine houses on social media.
Posting from her handle @tired_mommax3, the mum revealed piles of laundry, kids toys all over the place and mounting piles of washing up - which is, of course, a very common sight for many busy parents.
"I just want to show everybody what my house looks like because there’s a lot videos out there of all these houses that are beautiful - clean, pristine aesthetic," she said while panning the camera around her home.
"Well this is my house. So if your house looks like this, we should be friends!"

"We should definitely be friends. Bought a sign says sorry for the mess our standards have lowered with each kid," one mum commented, while another added: "I see a mom putting her children before a perfect house."
"Y'all don't understand that 2 days of not feeling well turns a house with kids into this. We can def be friends mama," a third wrote. "I'm right there with you."
"I stress so much about attempting to clean mine plus being a single mum-of-four. This made me feel so much better," a fourth commented.
The mum responded: "I try to stay on top of it but we’re getting over sickness and it’s a weekend so life happens."
Unfortunately, not everyone was so supportive, and many commented to say they also have several kids and still managed to keep a tidy home. It's not a competition and everyone has different priorities. A tidy home doesn't mean you're a better parent.
