A WOMAN, 36, who is a mum to six children has hit back at the meanies who reckon her husband needs to give her a break from falling pregnant.
Super mum Brenda Rivera Stearns, from Ohio, the USA, and her partner Isaiah Stearn first started dating when she was 22 and he was 27.

Just a year later, the two said ”I do” and got married – and since then, the couple have welcomed six children into their family.
The eldest of the siblings is now 13, followed by an eleven-year-old, a ten-year-old, an eight-year-old, a five-year old, as well as the latest addition to join them – their two-year-old tot.
However, despite having grown a massive fan base on Instagram, Brenda and Isaiah have also been viciously trolled and criticised online for ”environmental destruction”.
Not only is the family blamed for climate change as a result of having this many kids, cruel trolls also urge the hubby to give Brenda a break from pregnancy.
Mean social media users have also insisted that the two parents appear to be exhausted from the hectic family life, with one even saying the parenting has ”aged” them.
”Both parents look 10 years older than they really are,” one Instagram fanatic wrote.
Someone else penned: ”The mother’s smile looks happy but eyes looks very tired.”
”Am I the only one who realize that this is bad? Pregnancy damages the body and it is always suggested by doctors to wait at least two years between each pregnancies,” a third wrote.
”The mother doesn’t look healthy at all to me. Having a lot of kids is not an accomplishment.”
”She looks more like 45, damn body and brain needs some rest,” a cruel troll added.
After being slammed on the platform, where she has more than 118k fans, Brenda shared a response to hit back.
”Not sure why ppl [people] get so pressed when they find out we don’t fit their societal mold.
”At the end of the day I’m still here living my best life with all my children.
”Whatever path you choose for yourself, whether it involves kids or not, I hope you find joy.
”Because everyone deserves a life full of happiness, surrounded by people who make you feel safe and loved.”
The super mum-of-six also recently uploaded a post reflecting on her life as a parent and plans of having more kids down the line.
”I miss being pregnant. I miss the excitement of planning for another baby. I miss the baby kicks and movements inside my tummy. I miss how cute I felt being pregnant.
”I miss the newborn smells. The tiny and delicate features of my babies.”
But despite feeling emotional about this part of her journey, Brenda revealed that as of now, the couple were not looking to grow the family more.
”I know that right now I can’t physically nor mentally handle another baby.”
According to Brenda, she met her now-hubby by accidentally sending a text to the wrong number, Daily Mail reported.
She claimed that she was trying to send a friend an excerpt from the Bible one evening in October 2009 – but the message ended up going to Isiah’s phone instead.
The stay-at-home mum, who works as a content creator, said she hoped their intriguing love story will ”inspire” others to ”not give up on love”.
