MRS Hinch has hit back after trolls mum-shamed her for the “activity” she’d set up to keep her sons entertained during the summer holidays.

The 35-year-old, real name Sophie Hinchcliffe , has turned her love of cleaning into a lucrative career .

And it seems she’s hoping that she’s passed on this love to her eldest boys – Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three.

As she took to her Instagram page this week to share a Reel which showed the pair helping her out cleaning the house.

In addition to dusting and tidying, the boys were seen changing the tablecloth in the kitchen and wiping the surfaces.

They even appeared to have inherited her home tweaks, such as her famous pillow “chop” – hitting the middle of cushions and pillows to give them a distinctive look – as Ronnie was seen copying his mum.

Alongside the video , Mrs Hinch wrote: “Here’s to raising boys who know that teamwork starts at home.

“It’s not about the mess, it’s about the message, learning that we’re a team, and everyone’s part matters.

“I would love for my boys to grow up knowing the basics of how to manage a home, not just for themselves, but so the heavy load doesn’t always fall on one partner’s shoulders.”

And while the majority of people praised Mrs Hinch for the Reel, there were also a few negative comments.

“Poor kids making them clean,” one wrote.

“Pleased you ain’t my mum. School holidays are for a reason!”

Mrs Hinch then responded in a post on her Instagram Story, as she wrote: “I don’t make my children clean the house everyday AT ALL
In fact, they want to help!

“It’s not even about the cleaning, or the mess.

“It’s about teamwork, helping each other, learning little life skills and even making it fun if I can.”

She thanked those who had left kind comments, and concluded: “And to those who feel the need to be so negative, honestly, let mums parent their kids without judgement. Please!”

And Sophie’s post was backed by others in the comments, with one writing: “I can’t believe people had a go at you over this!

“Jeez people wanna lighten up!!”
