“So you do lunches on Sunday for the whole week?” the interviewer asked.

To which Stacey replied: “Yeah, and they have soggy carrots by the Friday!

“No one likes Friday lunch boxes, but oh well!”

Grinning, Stacey went on to share the measures she takes to try and stop the lunches from spoiling, as she said: “You can put a little paper towel under the cucumbers so they don’t get too soggy.”

“Who cares about a soggy carrot when it’s practically the weekend anyway?” a video of the moment was captioned when it was shared on Instagram.

However, the comments section was almost immediately filled with people slamming her for the admission.

“That’s unkind,” one person wrote.

“Shame on her!” another raged.

“Can’t get behind this sorry,” a third agreed.

“If I wouldn’t eat it how can I expect my child to!”

Someone else insisted that “soggy carrots = bacterial activity”, as another commented: “Sorry but that’s lazy, just do fresh every day.

“I did and had a full time job!”

“This can’t be real,” someone else remarked.

“I put them in the fridge when I make too much and you couldn’t eat after 5 days – it’s nasty.”

“Gross!” another said.

But for all those trolling Stacey, there were also people defending her, with many praising her for revealing the hack.

“It’s called organised!!” one wrote.

“I’m not a mum but if I was this is the attitude I would want,” another added.

“If you have followed her for many years like I have on social media you’ll see that she preps all her fruit and vegetables in containers in the fridge to make things more accessible during a busy week,” a third wrote.

“She’s a working mum of 5 children give her a break!

“Lift women up not tear them down for God’s sake, life is hard enough.”

“I love how real you are!” someone else praised.
