A YOUNG woman who became a teen mum has hit back at haters who call her lazy.
Saffron Kelly was just 14 when she fell pregnant with her daughter, Ivy, who is now three.

In one social media clip, she said: “I’m just a lazy teen mum who got knocked up at 14.
“I don’t have a job, here’s what I do in four hours whilst my daughter’s at nursery.”
Proving the haters wrong, she shared just how much she got done around the house despite being ill.
“I was brushing her teeth last night in literal tears because of how ill I was,” the mum added.
Saffron first got to work in her daughter’s room, changing the bedding and tidying up her toys and clothes.
She then went on to deep clean the room, including using a toothbrush to scrub the skirting boards.
The mum also cracked on with wrapping her daughter’s birthday presents before sticking on a load of laundry.
After, the mum tackled her own bedroom before going out to the car and giving the interiors a deep clean too.
Saffron then went on to have lunch but she wasn’t done cleaning yet as she moved on to the bathroom as well and scrubbing the floor on her hands and knees.
“When I tell you this was an absolute workout,” she said.
“I am not over exaggerating like I think my arm is actually dead but it looks 10 times better. So I can’t really complain. My hands are red raw from scrubbing this.”
Saffron’s video was posted to her TikTok account @saffronkelly1 and went viral with over 199k views.
It clearly proved the haters who bash her as lazy wrong and many took to the comments to praise the mum.
One person wrote: “14 is crazy, looks like you have coped well.”

“Girl give yourself a round of applause, you deserve some serious relaxation from all that cleaning,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Why do people think kids having kids is fine let the benefits system pay for them get a job and pay for your own child.”
