Pinkhas some words for all the mom-shamers out there.
The pop star recently put the “parenting police” on blast in adefiant Instagram postof her daughter enjoying the weather with some lawn sprinklers. Alongside the image, the star wrote a sharp caption highlighting some of the absurd things she would have been shamed for about the post.
“Here’s a picture of my child running through water. It wasn’t even filtered. What a waste of water,” she started her caption. “And no helmet? I hope she had sunscreen. If she slips and falls she may be traumatized for life. And her mother wasn’t even there. I was….. gasp…. working!!!! In another country!”

She then topped off the post with several emojis including the thumbs down hand and many hashtags, which told fans to unfollow her if they dislike what she’s posting —calling the critics “a–holes” for their unwarranted opinions.

“People went as far as saying someone should call child services because he didn’t have a diaper on and how dare I … some of the nastiest things,” Pink recalled onTheEllen DeGeneresShow. “I cried so hard after that because I like to share my family. It’s my proudest moment. I’m prouder of my kids than anything I’ve done in my whole life.”
“I just won’t share them anymore,” she said. “I won’t do it. I’m not posting pictures of them anymore.”
The singer also clarified that she’s not against constructive criticism. “I understand people saying, ‘You need to be more careful because you are in the public eye and you should have thought of that.’ And they’re right. But there’s a nicer way to say that,” she explained to DeGeneres.
“There’s a kind way to be online,” Pink said. “And I’m open to kindness,”
