Influencer hits back at critics shaming her for going on vacation without kids: 'I won't put myself last'
Briefly

Ashy Bines, an influencer, has robustly responded to criticism from 'mom-shamers' during her trip to Bali, emphasizing her right to enjoy life while balancing motherhood. She shared harsh comments directed at her parenting choices but asserted her husband’s role as a supportive father. Bines passionately defended the importance of self-care and pursuing passions, urging that being a mother does not preclude one from enjoying a fulfilling life. Her message encourages both parents and children to embrace a well-rounded lifestyle, which includes mental health and personal fulfillment.
People will tell you how to live, what's wrong with you and your life, and project their own "rules" and beliefs onto you. If you live by their rule book, you'll never feel truly happy or free to just be YOU.
I refuse to live my life or neglect my own needs because of what others think. I won't put myself last or stop spending time with my friends, going on holiday, or pursuing my passions just because people label me as selfish or a bad mom.
I want my kids to see me embracing all of these aspects of life so that they understand they are normal, important, and something they should do for themselves.
