The singer sternly responded to Instagram users who criticized her children's abs for being strange and weird.

Jessie James Decker is absolutely not condoning trolls, especially if it involves her kids.

The American country pop singer posted on Instagram Saturday a photo of her 3 kids shared with husband NFL star Eric Decker during their Thanksgiving tropical vacation. It showed their daughter Vivianne, 8, and sons Eric Jr. and Forrest, 7 and 4, in their swimsuits with toned abdominal muscles on display.

Social media users criticized the children's abs describing them as "strange," and commenting that they do not look right.

"It's a sad world we live in today when having healthy fit kids who are super active, play sports, build muscle naturally is 'weird.' From one mother to another. Please don't call my children's appearance strange just because they don't look the way you think they should. It's unkind," Jessie clapped back into the social media's comment section.

More accusations

Apparently, it did not end there.

Social media users were accusing her of two different things that were on polar opposites. First, that she photoshopped the abs on her children in the said photo, and second, that she and her husband were "overtraining" their kids.

Thus, to end the accusation, she decided to post a video of her 3 children and stated on the caption that she cannot help but laugh at the thought that she photoshopped abs on her kids.

As with regards the "overtraining" issue, she said that the accusation made her realize that the world has gotten so "bizarre" for assuming that it has the right to impose what a normal body is and what is not. She encouraged everyone to not "pick and choose" what kind of body to normalize and instead "be accepting of all people and children." Fox News reported.

The singer further said that she wants to raise her children proud of their body, dreams and hard work from her daughter's elite competitive gymnastics to their older son's desire to become an NFL receiver like his dad to her youngest son's passion to dance his heart out.

'The world needs to be better'

The 34-year-old mom also had her own online body shammers, and had previously called them out for talking about how fat she has gotten and accusing her of editing her body on social media.

According to E! News, she expressed that the "bullying" these trolls are doing is just pure mean and not okay. She further said that she hopes her daughter would not grow up experiencing what she had gone through because it is so wrong. She concluded that the world needs to be better.

However, not everyone was "unkind" to the children's physique as a lot, especially from Jessie's industry, gave out compliments and wished they had the same body as the kids have.

Selma Blair, Jessie's competition on Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) Season 31 praised the kids saying that she loves their smiles and their strength, and that they are a "fun goal."

The singer's DWTS pro-partner Alan Bersten jokingly asked why the kids have better bodies than him.

Jack Arnold and other social media users were asking for the kids' workout routine and diet plans, while others were requesting to be adopted to the family as it might be the only way they could get abs and be "shredded."
