Tired of seeing picture-perfect portrayals of motherhood, mum-of-five Jessica Hymus-Gant started sharing not just the good but also the "bad and the really grotty" mayhem that is her everyday family life.

"We are bombarded on a daily basis by 'everybody's perfect'... but comparison is the thief of joy," said Jess, from Rhyl in Denbighshire.

"There's so much pressure to try and be perfect and we're not - we get it wrong," she said.

"I think it's really important to have people that kind of say what everyone else is experiencing."
