Skye Wheatley has hit back at trolls who slammed her six-year-old son's 'Instagram pleasing' room reveal.
The influencer, 31, posted a video to TikTok of her son Forest's newly decorated room which featured a bunk bed, posters, drawers and a bean bag.
However, some of her followers criticised the room's design with many questioning why Skye had placed a candle on the table.
'What little boys don't long for is a candle and some aesthetically pleasing photo ops for his mum instead of a room full of toys,' one person wrote.
'I just feel like kids need colour and creativity that's expresses them in their rooms,' a second commented.
'The bunk bed looks like a prison bunk,' a third said.
Another added: 'When parents try so hard to have an 'Instagram house' instead of allowing kids spaces to be about kids.'
Skye hit back at the critics on Instagram on Monday and explained the room wasn't completed.
'When it comes to my kids and how much I do for them as a mother and how much effort I put it to doing that room... then people are just so nasty,' she said.
'Don't say s**t about my children and don't comment on my mothering skills… do you know how hard it is to be a parent?'
Skye urged parents to not judge other parents and explained why she wouldn't fill her children's rooms up with toys.
'I'm not trying to raise spoiled brats, they are already so privileged,' she said.
It comes after Skye recently broken down in tears amid her ongoing home renovation nightmare - revealing her boyfriend Lachlan Waugh built a staircase so oversized its left her completely overwhelmed.
She revealed the couple are still struggling to complete their dream home a whopping five years after purchasing the Spanish-style property in Tallai for $975,000.
The star also admitted she's relying on ADHD medication to cope with the mental toll, revealing she takes 60mg of Vyvanse daily but still suffers from 'chronic overwhelm'.
In another post, the influencer joked about the size of the staircase - the same feature that fans recently slammed as 'too big for the space' - and shrugged off concerns about the pendant lighting, which she said now resembled something X-rated.
Sky and her partner Lachlan bought the dilapidated four-bedroom property with dreams of transforming it into a glamorous family home.
But nearly half a decade later, the house is still unfinished - plagued by budget blowouts, emotional stress and construction delays.
At one point, the couple were living in a half-renovated section of the house while Skye was pregnant with their second child Bear.
She's previously admitted to hauling rubble and breaking down in tears multiple times throughout the process.
Their financial strain deepened last year when Lachlan's shopfitting business collapsed into administration, forcing Skye to take on more influencing work to fund the rebuild.
