In a recent episode of Teen Mom 2, Leah Messer and her ex Corey Simms discuss their daughter Ali’s alarming weight loss.
Ali, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, hasn’t been eating and is down from 40 to 34 pounds, Corey tells Leah.
“It takes everything I got to get her to eat,” he explains, who wants to take their daughter to the doctor as a precaution.
This came as news to Leah, who argued that Ali eats when she’s in her care, and thinks her weight has remained stable.
Nevertheless, the mere mention of Ali’s possible weight loss sent fans reeling, because Leah hasn’t exactly proven to be the pinnacle of good parenting.
Amid the criticism, Leah set out to dispel claims that she’s a bad parent by Instagramming a photo of – you guessed it – her daughter eating food.
“Where is my little babies? Where has the time went !? I’m so extremely grateful to be these three little girls Momma ! #Blessed,” she wrote in the caption.
Translation: See?? I totally feed my kid, so STFU, haters!
We have to chuckle, because this is in fact a classic Leah move.
Earlier this year, the mom of three was criticized after an episode of Teen Mom 2 in which Aleeah complained of being hungry and cold on the way to school.
The idea that Leah was failing to feed her kids breakfast sent fans over the edge.
Leah’s response?
A photo of her daughter Addie chowing down on some brekkie.
“Mommas baby wanted pancake and sausage on a stick, yogurt, and strawberries for breakfast!” she captioned the photo. “She is so happy.”
I won’t ask WTH “pancake and sausage on a stick” might consist of, but Leah seems to think one pic of her kid eating will convince everyone that she’s an amazing mom.
Earlier this week, Leah shared a rambling essay on Twitter about being a “classy mom,” though not a nun, and includes some other random stuff about tattoos and God.
It’s pretty insane. And if you’ve got a couple hours to kill, go ahead and try to make sense of it yourself.
