A pregnant woman has been left outraged after a stranger called her out for having 'too many kids', despite knowing nothing about her life. The mum-of-six explained how she has a nine-year-old son, four-year-old triplets and recently adopted her sister's two children, aged four and one, after she passed away.
She is currently 26 weeks pregnant and recently visited a supermarket with all of her children in tow. Venting to Reddit, the mum said: "I know we look like a circus getting out of our car - I know there's a lot of us. I was out at the grocery store yesterday and my son was pushing my nephew around in the stroller.

"I'm 26 weeks into my pregnancy and look like I'm 36 weeks.
"Some douchebag comes over and literally asks me why I would get pregnant again with this many kids."
But he didn't stop there as he sarcastically told her to "have fun" on benefits and getting the "government to pay for everything".
She added: "It’s probably the hormones but, not that it’s any of anyone’s business, we’re fine financially.
"My niece and nephew get survivors benefits, and the state their from gave us money for beds/a clothing allowance for the two of them.
"Therapy is being provided by the state since my niece is the victim of a crime. My nephew's physiotherapy is at a discounted rate since it is the result of neglect.
"When someone says I have 'too many' kids I get so angry.

"My nephew is starting to crawl! At almost one year old, he’s starting to crawl.
"So f*** anyone who wants to complain about it. If I wanna give a hundred more kids a safe, loving home to grow up in I will."
The woman's post has racked in almost 2,000 upvotes from supportive parents who have wished her and her family well.
One user said: "People suck. I would have had a lot more kids if I had the means to provide for them and was physically able to handle being pregnant again. I hope your niece and nephew continue to thrive."
"I'm going to be totally honest, people are going to say this to your kids for the rest of their lives.
"Screen the haters. Your kids are going to have an awesome childhood because having a bunch of siblings while growing up is awesome and because they have you."
A third user said: "He knows nothing about your situation. Honestly if I saw you out with your six kids I'd probably think you're brave or crazy.
"He sounds like an absolute jerk. Good luck to you - sounds like you have a lot of hard work bringing up those kids."
