A mum has been brutally and hilariously honest by admitting in a viral TikTok video how, five months after giving birth, she hates motherhood. Watch the clip here:
Australian Nikki Munoz posts about her daily life to her 7,000 TikTok followers under the handle @uselessuploads.
In one of her latest videos, she explained how ‘motherhood isn’t for everyone’ - an update to a similar sentiment she shared when her baby was three months old, back in September.

In the original clip, she said: “Motherhood f***ing sucks and I hate it, and I knew that I would hate it, and I f***ing hate it.”
She added: “Motherhood is a scam. It's a f***ing scam.”
Now that her son is nearing five months, it seems her opinion hasn’t changed much.

While Munoz reassured followers that she still very much loves her son, she revealed that she still struggles with motherhood.
“I still hate it, it's been f***ing months, it still sucks,” she said bluntly.
“I don’t feel like I need to justify that I love him – that's obvious. I think people are smart enough to know that.”

Munoz continued: “I do think I need to come back and restate that I did make that video when we were fresh in the trenches.
“We are now, what? He's almost five months old... and it still sucks. I still hate it. Motherhood isn't for everyone.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m amazing at it. And I don’t know how. I didn’t think I would be.
“I’m f**king fantastic at it. Do I like it? No. But I’m good at it.”

Later in the video, Munoz explained how things don’t ‘get easier’, but do begin to feel ‘more familiar’, adding: “You kind of roll with the punches more.”
Her video racked up more than 380,000 views, perhaps suggesting the issue is more common that others might assume.
One person commented: “Being a mom is wonderful but motherhood it’s the most horrible thing I have ever experienced.”

Someone else said: “I don’t care what any parent says, we ALL have moments during child rearing that we hate, regardless of how ‘perfect’ we may be at it.”
A third wrote: “Hating it, but becoming amazing at it regardless is the ultimate declaration of love.”
A fourth also said: “I love my kids. but, I was sold a lie when it came to what motherhood was like. And I will not get pregnant ever again.”
