Snooki pushes back against mommy shamers: I 'know what I'm doing'
— -- Snooki is pushing back against mommy shamers who have criticized her on social media.
The former "Jersey Shore" star and mother of two recently posted a screenshot of a comment written about her children under her photos on Instagram.
It read, "To[o] bad they never go out and do anything. Your always posting how they are at home always watching TV eating pizza and sitting on iPads...not sure how that makes for a great mom."
On Saturday, Snooki -- whose birth name is Nicole Polizzi -- posted yet another photo with her and her 2-year-old daughter, Giovanna.
The caption read that, going forward, when posting photos of her kids, she "will turn off the comments section."
"I don't need a------s telling me how to raise my child and judge them," Snooki, 29, continued. "I'm a d--- good mom and know what I'm doing. Well most of the time.)"
She ended her lengthy caption with a message to fellow moms: "Happy Mother's Day to all you kick a-- Mamas out there!"
Snooki later posted another message, apparently trying to encourage herself and other moms.
It read, "On a bad day, all I need is a hug from my children to make everything better."
Snooki and her husband, Jionni LaValle, who wed in 2014, are parents to Giovanna along with 4-year-old Lorenzo.
