The 19-year-old got pregnant at 13 and served slices of pizza for her two toddlers.
She opened a bag of Lay’s chips and some cheese, and placed it next to slices of pepperoni pizza.
Next, she cut the strawberries into bite-sized pieces and prepared some pre-washed blueberries.
As for drinks, she poured the yellow Gatorade into the bottle to end the actual meal.
People flocked to the comments to criticize or defend the mother.
“Is this really what Americans eat for dinner?” one reviewer said.
Someone criticized the mother who let her child eat pizza: “Your children are not yet 19 years old, why do you let them eat like that?”. someone else asked.
“Please tell me you are joking,” said the third.
Others praised the mother for doing her best to put food on the table.
“Strawberries and pizza are a dream meal, is the Internet okay?” asked a viewer.
Another supporter said: “You’re doing great, honey. It’s easy to judge when the foot is on the other shoe.”
