I'm a mum-of-11 & trolls say I have a breeding kink to have this many – they asked if we knew what birth control was
A MUM-of-11 has revealed how trolls have rudely told her she must have a 'breeding kink' to have so many kids.
Karissa Collins, 40, who is pregnant with her 12th baby, shared how haters have also asked if she is aware of birth control.
However, US-based Karissa and husband Manrdrae Cardell Collins, insist they love their bumper brood and ignore any negative comments they get.
On her TikTok account, @thecollinskids, Karissa showed each child and the comments people said after they had each one.
This showed that you can never please everyone no matter how many kids you decide to have.
After they had their first baby - a girl - they were asked if they would try for a boy.
The couple then got a boy and people asked them if they would then stop having kids as they had one of each.
After their third child, they were asked 'have you heard of birth control', with people telling them 'your hands are too full' following their fourth.
She previously revealed she doesn't use contraception, which isn't a surprise given her large family.
The busy mum explained: 'No we don't do condoms, pulling out, spousal denial, tracking days, or individual pleasure.
'We let God give freely and we receive it with joy.'
Other comments they have received after each child include 'that's a lot of weddings to pay for', 'you better stop, your body is failing', 'you need a tv' and 'bro can't pull out of a driveway.'
Millie Radford sparks concern of the family feud reigniting as she says she wants to go 'home' during Florida holiday
When they gave birth to their latest child, number 11, people said 'she has a breeding kink'.
Thankfully Karissa saw the comical side of the comments, and said 'people are funny.'
Karissa first became a mum at the age of 25, and has subsequently been pregnant when she was 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39 and 40.
Alongside being pregnant, the Christian mum also homeschools her kids, while husband Manrdrae works in the auto finance industry.
Last month, she surprised people by announcing she was pregnant just eight months after giving birth.
She previously hit back at people who say her kids must have come from four different dads.
Karissa insists she's never even kissed anyone other than Manrdrae, who she married in 2007.
The mum said: 'Nope just one dad here! 'Yes they're all ours. All 12 of them!
'They all came out of my body and were created with my first and only boyfriend.
'After we got married of course. I can't believe we will have been married 18 years on the 23rd.'
As well as not dating anyone else, Karissa said she's never smoked, drank alcohol, sworn, drank coffee, or had a C-section with her babies.
In response to the rude remarks, Karissa beamed: 'Guess what! I saved myself for marriage.
'Not sure how that's disgusting or confusing. Let's normalise couples raising children in loving families.'
Tackling criticism
The mum-of-11 said she doesn't read cruel comments on blogs or social media about her family.
She explained: 'Yes I know the hate is there.
'Yes I know the haters make up lies daily and want my family destroyed.
'Yes I know everyone thinks they know me from some 1 min videos.
'Yes we all parent different. Yes we all have different belief systems.
'My page is for mamas that want to seek God and raise families for him. I'm well aware that's few and far between.
'I'm not here to grow a following but rather to challenge your thinking and push you to greatness. To make you smile and make you laugh.
'To bring community together and have a safe place to trust God.
'To show you that all things are possible through Christ.
'To encourage you that his ways are better. And to remind you that we're all human and doing our best.'
'He's my first and only. And we are free to enjoy each other in a loving and holy marriage.
'Children are the blessing that comes out of it. God's plan for marriage and reproducing is so perfect.'

Selena Gomez wishes sister Gracie a happy 12th birthday with sweet social media post with throwback snaps
Selena Gomez shared a number of throwback snaps to celebrate the 12th birthday of her half-sister Gracie Teefey. The 32-year-old actress and singer's mother Mandy re-married Brian Teefey, and they welcomed Gracie on June 12, 2013. Gomez took to Instagram on Thursday to wish her sister a very happy birthday, and share some snaps of the two throughout the years, which came as a new video sparked health concerns. 'Happy birthday to my baby sissy. As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I'm always on your side. No matter what. I love you baby girl,' Gomez wrote. The post sent out to her whopping 419 million followers has over 2.8 million likes and a number of sweet comments from celebs like Lily Collins and Ashley Park. The first snap showed Gracie as a newborn wearing a colorful onesie as Selena was seen holding and kissing her hand. The second was much more recent, showing a pajama party with the two both wearing matching black PJs with white slippers while hugging on the floor. The third snap featured a smiling Ashley while they were out to eat while the fourth slide was a brief video. They were both seen hiding behind sweaters in the fifth pic, with Gracie donning a star on her forehead. The sixth snap showed Gracie holding up a small plate with I Heart U written on it while the seventh showed them in full cosplay at the Frozen II premiere in 2019. The eighth pic showed them enjoying a meal at a scenic oceanfront locale while the ninth showed two different pics, one more recent and one of a much younger Gracie sipping on some soda. The tenth pic showed Gracie holding a huge bear while the 11th pic was from Gracie's early years as they both embraced. A number of celebs commented on Selena's post, including actress Lily Collins, who said, 'the sweeeetest.' Influencer Taylen Biggs added, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE! Can't wait to meet you one day soon.' Celebrity tan artist Isabel Alysa added, 'You are the best big sister!! happy birthday,' while Ashley Park added, 'Ultimate cuties.' The sweet post came just days after she appeared to be 'vaping' as she got her hair and makeup done for her night out with pal Taylor Swift on May 31. Gomez — who suffers from lupus and underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 — could be seen exhaling a vapor-like mist as she scrolled through her iPhone. Another angle showed her holding what looked like an e-cigarette or vape pen, which produces an aerosol that typically contains nicotine, in her left hand as makeup artist Hung Vanngo applied her eyeliner.

My mom was an icon loved by millions - but here's the dark truth about her I've never told anyone
'My mother coined an expression for casual sex: 'The 'zipless f*ck,' writes Molly Jong-Fast in her new memoir, How to Lose Your Mother. 'Now think about being the offspring of the person who wrote that sentence. And pour one out for me.' Molly's mother is 1970s feminist icon Erica Jong. Best known as the author of the seminal, semi-autobiographical novel Fear of Flying - a book that caused a scandal at the time, thanks to its uncensored portrayal of female sexuality - Jong was wildly celebrated, with appearances on Johnny Carson, a Newsweek cover and friendships with the rich and famous. Now, Molly's memoir reveals not just the reality of growing up in the orbit of a glamorous, sexually uninhibited woman, but her heartbreaking descent - and slow disappearance - into the prison of Alzheimer's. 'She would always say that I was everything to her,' Molly writes in the memoir. 'She would always tell anyone who listened that I was her greatest accomplishment in life.' But, she adds, 'I always knew that wasn't the truth… I found her disinterested. Impossible to connect with. 'I wish I'd asked her why, if she loved me so much, she didn't ever want to spend time with me.' Now, it's too late. While Jong still recognizes her only daughter, Molly says she doesn't remember much else - not her grandchildren, and sometimes she doesn't even remember that she was once a famous writer. As her mother slips away, Molly finds herself faced with a terrible dilemma: How can she come to terms with losing her mother when she never really had her in the first place? Married four times, Jong was not really a woman's woman, her daughter now admits somewhat guiltily (and ironically, considering her place in the second-wave feminist pantheon). In fact, she says, she had trouble getting along with anyone who wasn't a man she wanted to seduce. Jong's third marriage - to Molly's father, Jonathan Fast - ended in an epically bitter divorce. 'Later,' Molly writes, 'my mother admitted they had an open marriage. My father, when questioned about this, said only, "Yes, she thought it was open."' Incredibly, both her parents moved out of the family home in Weston, Florida, following their split, abandoning Molly and leaving her in the care of her nanny. Only after a year did Jong summon her daughter to New York, where she was shacked up with a wannabe actor called Cash. 'She was always in love with someone,' writes Molly. 'More often than not, it was a problematic man, a "no-account" count, a married writer who lived in Brooklyn, or a drug-addicted B-list actor. 'Between her divorce from my father (husband number three) and her marriage to my stepfather (husband number four) there were numerous fiancés. I couldn't help but envision each one as a possible father. 'It would take me years to understand that the worst thing you could do to a kid was introduce her to possible stepfathers on a daily basis. But my feminist mother was always looking for someone to save her, someone to get her out of her own head.' Jong was often absent for days or even weeks at a time. But even when present, Molly recalls she was often distracted - 'dreamy, head-in-the-clouds, and detached'. Add to that a 'staggering lack of self-awareness' and her excessive drinking, and the picture is of a captivating, complicated woman addicted to fame. 'My mother never got over being famous,' writes Molly. 'Even years after people stopped coming up to us in stores, even years after she slipped from the public consciousness, the virus of fame had already made her someone different. 'Becoming normal like the rest of us, the journey to unfamousness, was for her an event so strange and stressful, so damaging to her ego, that she was never able to process it.' Then the pandemic broke her. 'When it started, she was her normal alcoholic self, not 100 percent but she would do things and go places. 'By the end she was lying in bed all day drinking a bottle or two of wine. 'An important caveat,' adds Molly, 'is that my mother wasn't a mean alcoholic like my grandmother (who used to get drunk, and scream at everyone, and pull off her clothes on the crosstown bus). 'But mom wasn't in there when she drank... My mother wasn't bad, she was just gone.' Perhaps that explains why it took so long for her to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. That, and a fierce denial that anything was remotely wrong. Molly's stepfather, New York lawyer Kenneth David Burrows, had started to show signs of Parkinson's disease and, even after the threat of COVID had long passed, the pair rarely left their Manhattan apartment. Friends and neighbors kept coming up to Molly on the street, concerned, asking if her mom was OK. Her increasingly erratic behavior had been spotted everywhere - 'At the bookstore, at the hair salon, on the corner. Everywhere I went, my mother's condition followed me.' One night, while out to dinner, the wife of a friend leaned over and told Molly she had something to say that might be upsetting. The dinner companion then held up her phone, revealing an Instagram post featuring a photograph of her dead father. 'Your mother posted a comment on the photo,' she told Molly. The comment was: 'Neat.' 'The woman looked as if she were going to cry,' Molly writes. Addressing her concerns with her stepfather, she was met by excuses and denial. 'Look, Moll, this is a hearing problem,' he would say; and, 'Ah, Moll, you know she's just thinking of her next book.' 'But Mom hadn't written a book in a long time,' Molly writes in her own book. 'And suddenly I was 13 again, begging my stepfather to get my mother to stop taking diet pills, or to have her slow down on the drinking. 'Everyone told me I was crazy in that case, too. They would tell me that my mom didn't drink too much; she was just tired. She was just passed out on the bed, eye makeup smeared all over her face, lipstick everywhere. 'She was just working on another book. She was just under a lot of pressure. Ken would inevitably declare, "Once she gets her book done then she'll be back to normal."' This time, there was to be no 'normal,' and when Molly eventually found feces in her mother's bed, she knew it was time to find a nursing home for both declining parents. Ken died in December 2023. Jong continues to live in the 'world's most expensive nursing home' on New York's Upper East Side. 'Like my grandmother, my mother will likely continue on for the next 25 years in a state of dreamy, distracted unreality,' writes Molly. 'She will become increasingly unreachable.' 'My mother is just a body now,' she adds. 'Erica Jong the person has left the planet.' As much as this sounds as though she might be bitter or angry at her famous mother's neglect, Molly admits to being so close to Jong she sometimes lies in bed at night, unsure if she exists without her. 'She created me and I enabled her,' she writes. 'But there is a paradox at the heart of our relationship. 'As much as I love my mother, I've often found myself regarding her with feelings that are somewhat closer to the opposite of love. 'My relationship with her is split right down the middle. I admire her, but I pity her. I revere her - no, I worship her - but I am mortified by her.' And yet, Molly is still haunted by guilt. If she had been a 'better' daughter, she thinks, she would have taken her mother in and cared for her after Ken died. 'But I wasn't that daughter,' she admits. 'Did I wish I were that daughter? Maybe? But the main thing was that I had survived being her child. 'Sometimes you just have to put the life jacket on yourself first.'
