Husband’s brilliant response to trolls who attacked mum of six

MUM of six Sharny Kieser copped abuse for showing her stretch marks in a photo but husband had her back.

STRETCHMARKS are normal for every woman, especially after giving birth.

But one woman received a torrent of abuse after posting a snap on social media.

Mum-of-six Sharny Kieser was subjected to nasty comments from trolls after sharing an image of her tummy.

And it was her husband, Julius who chose to speak out about the incident, responding to the comments in the best possible way.

Sharing an image on Instagram, he said: “Last week, I posted a photo of Sharny with her tummy out and a young girl said ‘at least photoshop the disgusting stretch marks out’,” Julius recalled.

“I think they’re beautiful. I think they symbolise the strength of a mother who brought 6 children into the world. Not just this mother, but EVERY mother.”

“I believe that a body of a confident WOMAN (like this) is far more beautiful and sexy than the body of an insecure GIRL (what you normally see on social media),” Julius continued.

The 39-year-old fitness guru - who together with her husband Julius - has launched two health and fitness programs for parents, and often shares photos of herself in workout gear.

And while trolls voiced their opinions on this occasion, Sharny and Julius usually receive heaps of praise for sharing the reality of parenting.

On a recent post, one user commented: “Real symbol of a woman and a mum... loving her body and herself. I love all your posts.”

While another said: “Thank you for being so inspiring and so real! We mommas need more women like you to encourage us to love our bodies and to be nicer to ourselves.”

Earlier this year, Sharny opened up about her insecurities, revealing it had taken her “a lot” to love her body.

“I’d do anything for my kids. One those things was getting over my insecurities around my mummy tummy,” she wrote.

“For my 5 sons: If I behave in a way that shows them my mummy tummy is gross, how will that help their future wives (and marriages)?

“For my daughter: If I am ashamed of my tummy and hide it, she will be afraid of having babies one day because of what it does to her body.

“I don’t ever want my kids to know what it’s like to hate their own bodies. It’s taken a lot to get to the point now where I actually love my body. All of it.”
