She’s the glamorous AFL WAG who parades her picture-perfect life on social media.
And on Friday, Nadia Bartel took to Instagram to share a photo of herself with footy star husband Jimmy as they holidayed together in the Maldives.
However, the 33-year-old didn’t quite receive the praise she might have been expecting- promptly coming under fire from a follower who criticised her for taking the vacation without her two-year-old son, Aston.
‘Wow how do you guys do it. I could not leave my kid behind and go on holiday’: Nadia Bartel received criticism after sharing an Instagram picture on Friday that showed her and husband Jimmy holidaying without their two-year-old son, Aston
‘Wow how do you guys do it. I could not leave my kid behind and go on holiday’ the follower sniped.
‘Totally agree with you’ added another Instagram user, unimpressed with Nadia’s actions.
It didn’t take long for Nadia to lash out at the critique of her parenting decision, writing: ‘So you would never go on a trip without your baby? I miss him like crazy but I think it’s important to have time with just us too.’
Critic: One fan promptly took to the comments section beneath Nadia’s snap to express their opinion.

She continued her diatribe: ‘This is the first time we have left him in 2 years, but I don’t need to explain myself to you as I normally don’t reply to fake accounts like yours’.
Perhaps Nadia’s curt comeback was inspired by the non-fiction bestseller ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F**k’, which she was seen reading on the holiday.
Her strong reply garnered praise from fans, with one exclaiming: ‘Good on you Nadia! Enjoy your trip! Just as important to have hubby time as parent time! Makes u a better parent in my eyes!’

It’s unclear how long Jimmy and Nadia are vacationing in the tropics, but it appears the couple left Australia on Monday, with the WAG taking to Instagram to share a photo of herself sitting in her business class seat on Singapore Airlines.
Since touching down at her destination, the brunette beauty hasn’t been shy in documenting her getaway, uploading more than a dozen photos and videos to share with her 391,00 followers.
