A MOTHER-OF-FIVE has shown off her 'muddy' laundry room and clapped back at haters who criticised her 'disgrace' of a home.
Despite not caring what trolls think, Gwenn, a 27-year-old stay-at-home mum from the United States, has found herself at the centre of a barrage of abuse from mean keyboard warriors.

Not only did haters slam the 'ridiculous' mess, but others claimed there was 'no excuse' for Gwenn to let her property get in such a state.
It all comes after Gwenn shared a short clip inside her pad on social media, which left users totally divided.
As she attempted to clean up the room, which was overflowing with dirty clothes and mess on the floor, the brunette said: 'I know you're gonna be angry at me with this laundry room, but this was two weeks ago, possibly last week, honestly, I don't know what day it is.'
She then continued: 'Unless you have a laundry room that is also a mud room and you have five kids changing three times a day because they want to keep going outside, getting in the mud, getting the water, I really don't want to hear it, I just don't.'
'I literally do not care, because at the end of the day, this is a mud room, so it's gonna get muddy,' she added.
On a mission to get the space tidied up, Gwenn continued: 'A lot of this was winter stuff that has just kept getting thrown around - I finally have three bags of winter clothes bagged up, but we got hats and gloves put away and then our big winter clothes.'
After cleaning up the space, Gwenn was able to fill up three bags with stuff to give away, as well as one bag full of rubbish.
She also got rid of a shoe rack and began doing some of the laundry, but confessed that the room was still not in 'super great shape.'
Following this, she justified: 'I feel like I can't clean like a normal person - I can't just tidy up an area, whenever I want to clean it, I have to take it all apart and deep clean everything, which makes it very difficult because this is a big old house to clean.'
And it appears it's not only Gwenn's laundry room that has left people stunned, as she then gave viewers a close-up look at her living room, which was also in desperate need of a tidy up.
I scrub my council house walls but they're COVERED in mould & crumbling away - I have two disabled kids, it's disgusting
Not only did hangers and rubbish take over the floor, but endless piles of clothes covered the couch too.
Big divide
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ gwennewg, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 2.1million views, 68,000 likes and 917 comments.
But social media users were left totally divided by Gwenn's video - whilst some thought the mess was "ridiculous," others could sympathise with having 'never ending' amounts of washing.
One person said: 'Disgrace, no excuse.'
children how to pick up after themselves and take responsibility for their own things. That's your job as a parent.'
Meanwhile, someone else gasped: 'Why are you letting it get to this?'
Not only this, but another user asked: 'Why does the husband not help out? My husband would never watch me drown like this.'
However, at the same time, one mother wrote: 'I hate laundry. It's never ending!'
A second penned: 'Five kids......lady you deserve a medal! I hate housework so no judgments from me!'
And another admitted: 'As a 26 year old mum of five, I felt this video in my soul.'
