A SINGLE mum has been slammed online for sharing a sneak peak into her extremely messy house. Claiming her situation is "realistic to many" the shamed parent took to social media to defend herself. She shared a candid video of her attempt to tidy up, battling the chaotic kitchen alone. In the clip, her kitchen worktops were barely visible through the mess, covered in leftover bread, opened tubs of butter and cereal boxes.

Wearing pink gloves, she tried her hardest to organise the clutter, binning what she could and tidying away the rest. The single parent had armed herself with a mop, bin bags and dustpan in a bid to clean up. But it was obvious that this mammoth task wasn't going to be easy. Picking up a packet of crumpets sat on top of a stack of dishes, she revealed old, used teabags and black mould that had been festering underneath.

Flies buzzed around the dirty dishes, swarming the stained bowls and teaspoons. And the insects had even migrated over to other areas of the room, loving the dirt and grime. Panning the camera round, viewers could see that the kitchen doors were covered in dark marks and stains from unknown substances. The floor was also completely covered, littered with plastic bags and used food containers. And the sheer amount of rubbish laying around meant the flooring itself was completely out of sight.
Here are some tips to help you clean your home like a pro:. Shocked viewers flooded the comment section with abuse. "This is just straight up neglect. It's a huge difference between a messy house and a DIRTY house," said one user. "There's actually flies! Nah, I can't actually believe this is real, how!?" another chimed in. "Realistic is untidy but NOT filthy, I would wipe my feet on the way out tbh," someone else said.
