Queensland mum responds to ‘worried’ followers about sons

A mother of triplets has hit back at ‘concerned’ online followers who suggested her young children should already be walking independently.

Farron Sullivan, 28, is a nurse and mother to 17-month-old babies Zadie, Brodie and Harlen who have kept her and fiance Mark Owen’s hands full since 2016.

The Queensland mum also runs an Instagram page with over 200,000 followers – a forum which often leaves her open to unwanted public criticism about how she raises her two boys and girl.

And in a response to the growing number of followers who asked her about why her two sons have not yet learned to walk, Farron quickly shut down their ‘worries’.

‘To all the people that keep asking me whether I am concerned about the boys not walking yet… or that I should be concerned.. The answer is no,’ the young mother wrote.

‘They run with their walkers and are standing unaided.’

Farron, who also works part time as a pediatric nurse, says the two boys have also suffered some health problems which may have slowed their urgency to learn to walk.

‘Harlen had a massive setback with his surgeries this year and it really affected his balance for a while,’ she wrote.

‘Brodie is not as physically strong as the others and has taken longer to reach his milestones which have still been within normal limits. Even if they aren’t…. so what?’ she asked on her Instagram.

‘Instead of telling parents to worry and be concerned be supportive. Each child is different so please do not compare to anyone else. 

Plus I am in no rush to have all three running around,’ Farron added.

The busy mum-of-three says she created her blog and Instagram after finding out she would be having twins, a surprise which made her feel quite alone. 

‘The downfall to having a public account is that each picture and video I put up is open to different opinions, including negative comments,’ she previously told blog Food Babies Love.

‘I don’t think people realise that their comments can affect me as a mother. 

‘Thankfully, this isn’t very often, the positive outweighs the bad and I love sharing the three little Owens’ lives with others.’
