Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry made some waves with fans recently when she revealed that she doesn’t celebrate Christmas with her three sons. In fact, she can’t even remember the last time she celebrated, and its not because she is busy celebrating another Winter holiday.
In a new Instagram story, Kail started a question and answer portion in which she prompted followers to “ask me anything”.
One fan asked curiously:
“When do you start decorating for Christmas & put up tree”?
To which Kail shocked followers when she responded:
“Can’t remember the last time I did Christmas.”
Another fan probed a little further on the topic and asked:
“So your kids don’t celebrate Christmas?”
“No gifts?”
Kail’s only response to this was to post a picture of her four boys embracing in a hug.
She captioned the photo with a more detailed response:
“I got tired of fighting over Christmas & having my years fall on opposite years of my family who live 4+ hours away so I gave it up completely.”
Fans of the show were quick to begin commenting their thoughts about the revelation.
“Cause kids shouldn’t suffer because of your trauma. However Kail doesn’t get that.”
And the comments kept coming:
“Kids come first and they deserve nothing but love on every single holidays and birthdays. Parents need to learn to put aside their past, religious, etc and shine the lights on kids because their happiness come first.”
Another fan added:
“I find it sad for both her and her children that she doesn’t do anything for it, I sympathize with her having a horrible childhood and understood that it is probably a horrible time for her but she should even just put up a tree and a few things for the children and start new memories.”
