Most mums have experienced the unfortunate phenomena that is mum-shaming, but no one deals with it more than those mothers who live in the public eye.
Even Pink isn't immune to the unsolicited parenting judgements of others, as was the case after she shared a simple, sweet image of herself cooking with her children, reports the Daily Mail.
The photo, posted on Instagram on Monday, shows the 37-year-old singer multi-tasking like a pro, cooking vegetables on the stove while wearing her seven-month-old son on her front in a baby carrier.
"Dinner time," Pink wrote in the caption for the photo.
While many followers took to the comment section to praise Pink for her ability to look after her kids and get dinner together while making it all seem easy, other people weren't so impressed.
"Cute photo but please don't cook wearing the baby. I've read some really horrific stories about terrible accidents that have occurred doing this," said one critic.
Another added: "I babywear all the time except when I'm cooking hot meals. The better alternative, I suppose if you really must, would be wearing the baby on your back. Not directly facing the hot stove."
"It's funny how these mum-shamers are quick to judge. Oh wait, because they're the 'perfect' parent," wrote one supporter. "I just wish they would get a life and let you be a parent. Your kids are beautiful. Enjoy every minute because it flies by."
Pink herself didn't seemed fazed in the least by the critics. She recently celebrated her husband Carey Hart's birthday with a series of Instagram posts, including one where she described him as "the good egg that never cracks."
"Happy Birthday My Love. The weight you carry and the strength you have has always fascinated me," she wrote, captioning an adorable close-up black and white photo of the couple and their daughter.
"What you've accomplished in your life (the impossible, many many times) and what you continue to do (invent, live, love, forgive, alchemize) is incredible. You, my dear, are incredible."
