A MUM has hit back at trolls who claim she is 'oversexualising' her 12-year-old daughter.
Tink doesn't have a problem with her daughter, Ruby, wearing false lashes, nails or helping her pierce her nose – but it's led some trolls to question her parenting choices.
Taking to TikTok, the mum filmed herself putting eyelash extension on her daughter.
But people were seemingly unhappy as one wrote: "you're oversexualising your daughter at a young age. not good."
And the mum hit back blasting the trolls for having no idea about her life.
Responding in a video, Tink said: "I want to respond to this in the kindest nicest, simplest way possible.

"I did not realise that putting false lashes on my 12 year old was over sexualizing her, if anyone knows my daughter like I do, those eyelashes lasted 20 minutes before she pulled them off."
The mum said the eyelashes irritated Ruby so she only kept them on for a short period of time anyway.
Tink continued: "But comments like this make me wonder why people have to say stuff like that.
"It's really sad, really, really sad, and I'm sorry that that's how you feel."

In a previous clip, Tink filmed herself giving her pre-teen a nose piercing at home.
Ruby didn't even flinch as the piercing was done, but the comments section on the TikTok was quickly filled with people weighing in, with many wondering just what the young girl's school would make of her new accessory.
Tink responded in another TikTok, as she said: "I did get a phone call from the school today, which we knew was going to happen.
"The teacher did stop Ruby and say they've got a no face piercing rule at the school so we need to abide by it.
"But the head of Year 7 did ring me and we have come to a compromise. "
Ruby planned to put a plaster over her nose to cover the piercing while at school and buy a see-through bar for when she returns after summer.
The clip posted to her account @cherries_87 has since gone viral with over 230k views and over 22k likes.
While there seemed to be some trolls mum-shaming Tink, many supported the mother and daughter duo.
One person wrote: "Aww they look so good."
Another commented: "You are both so pretty."
