It’s hard to bring your life out into the open – especially for a parent like Christina Anstead. The recently divorced mother of three is constantly under the microscope, and it can’t be easy. That’s probably why the Flip of Flop host decided to stand up for herself on social media (via Life & Style). What’s more, this time it was about her children, and that’s something Christina just couldn’t keep up and say anything about.
The HGTV star responded to recent criticism in an Instagram post. She started her long and heartfelt message with an echo of what most of us felt in 2020. “This year has been incredibly isolating. Activities such as church, travel, dinner, movies, sports – cancelled.
No more seeing my friends smiling faces on set (all covered in masks) it all feels like s**t,” Christina wrote as a caption to a selfie. She added, “So many changes for so many people. So despite what you see on Instagram, most people are struggling.
Flip Or Flop: Christina Opens Up About What She İs Struggling With
According to Christina Anstead, she is often told, “You must be an absent mother because you are not with your children. The new single mother quickly shot down this criticism and wrote, “I hardly post anymore…. and I don’t want to post my kids every day to make a contest about who’s a better parent.” Of course, Christina talks about how she shares her children Taylor and Brayden with her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, and her son Hudson with her estranged husband Ant Anstead.
“This doesn’t mean I’m not with my children. It means the opposite. I am with them. I am with them.” Christina answered her critics and added these harsh words. “So stop being ashamed of people by parents, stop picking sides when there is no side to choose.
The empowering post ended with Christina reminding people that on Instagram, we have to remember what we sometimes see are fake smiles and filters. “I’m also guilty of pretending. We’re all struggling. Some of us are just better at ‘masking’ it.”

Christina I know you are off social media snd may not see this message but don’t let these people you criticize you bother you. They clearly have no class. This year had been hard and I can’t imagine how hard it is to co parent and then work two shows with three kids. I have watched you since season one and then when you started Christina on the coast I love that show too. I just want to say sorry that you are going thru this and hope that you find love and peace and happiness. You have the best start those three amazing sweet kids. Stay strong stay well and I live in WI so will never meet you but you have support all over the world.
