A WOMAN who tied her triplets' sleeves together to stop them from hurting one another has hit back at mum-shamers.
She's mother to three identical boys, and clearly has her hands full with the trio.
When they were little, she caused a huge debate by sharing a video which showed two of her sons sitting in the back of a wagon with their sleeves tied together.
And as she re-shared the video on Instagram, the mum insisted she'd do the same again.
"I’d still do this a million times over to stop them hurting each other!" she wrote.
"They were so unfazed by having their sleeves tied, they just went to scratch, realised they couldn’t and they then focused on why their arms weren’t moving instead."

"Just tell them don’t touch each other!!" another insisted.
"What’s wrong with you!! Be a parent. You wanted them!!"
"Kids are like sponges, they learn what they see their parents do," a third commented.
"They are the results of their upbringing. If you all think restraining them by force and putting fear on your kids bc are your kids is the best solution…. I am just wondering how were you all raised by your parents.
"It shows me clearly that some of you all are very angry people."
But others defended the mum, pointing out that her solution clearly worked, and didn't hurt them.
"They are your kids…you need to do what works…its not cruel! Its not like you do this all the time…" one wrote.
"Your children your rules. You weren’t hurting them. You were stopping them hurting each other," another said.
"They didn’t look distressed in the slightest and no doubt they learned from it."
"This is a great way to stop the behaviour. No one was distressed or hurt," a third agreed.
As someone else commented: "It’ll teach them to stop doing it! & also… what’s the alternative?
