Jesinta Franklin has lashed out at people who say tasks such as ‘taking a shower’ and ‘cleaning the house without kids around’ is a ‘break’ for mothers.
The model 30, who shares daughter Tullulah, one, and son Rocky, eight months, with her husband Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin, reshared a post by lifestyle brand Mother.ly on Wednesday which made a series of statements about stay-at-home mothers.
The quote read: ‘Cleaning your house without kids is not a break. Showering is not a break. Grocery shopping alone is not a break.

‘It’s chores and basic hygiene, but mothers are supposed to be grateful to do these things that literally everyone else does. And at some point, we just break.’
The caption for the post on Mother.ly’s page read: ‘Errands and showers are NOT self-care for moms. Thinking they are is what’s burning moms out.’
Jesinta gave the quote her seal of approval by sharing it on her own Stories with her 376,000 followers.

Jesinta is a highly successful model and brand ambassador.
While it’s clear she absolutely loves motherhood, Jesinta recently said that some days are more difficult than others.
Last December, she confessed she ‘misses her old life’ sometimes during a candid interview on the Fisher Price Beyond Play podcast.
‘It’s okay to say you sometimes don’t enjoy it or you don’t enjoy the newborn phase or, “today, you know what, I just hated being a mum. I miss my old life and I think about it all the time,”‘ she said.
‘Saying those things should be normal and the more we talk about it, we’ll actually see less cases of postnatal [depression]. I think we’ll see anxiety reduce in women.’

In May this year, she spoke about the difficulties of having two children under two – especially when her AFL-star husband is away.
‘When your newborn sleeps but your toddler is up all night. It’s so much fun when daddy is interstate!’ she joked on Instagram alongside a picture of herself cradling her little girl.
She later revealed the secret trick she used to finally get her little one to drift off: playing songs by The Wiggles.
‘Praise be The Wiggles!’ she later wrote, alongside a video of herself lying on the floor with her head in her hands, clearly distressed at how little sleep she was getting
