A woman says other mums shame her for her naturally “good looks” and “figure” because they are “jealous” she doesn’t need “lip filler” to look nice.
Amee Gleadell, 35, has always taken pride in her appearance and takes time to pick out a nice dress and jewellery every day.
The mum of 15-month-old Arthane claims other mums judge her at baby groups and are not friendly towards her.
Amee believes they are just “jealous” she doesn’t need “lip fillers” and her “hair done” to look nice.
She wants to stop judgement on other women’s appearances.

“It makes me feel better. It makes me feel happy with myself.”
Amee says she never goes out in scruffy clothes – something she thinks other mums judge her for.
She said: “I don’t go out in trackies. I don’t know why people don’t want to look good or why they can’t be bothered. But you don’t know what is going on in other people’s lives. We should just be helping each other.”
Amee says she is also judged for breastfeeding her son in public and at work.
The mum runs a catering business on wheels – cooking while her son sits on her hip.
She said: “I take my child to work with me. I breastfeed him there. Pervy men stare at you. Other mums judge you. Other people are like ‘she is breastfeeding and cooking’ and judging me for that.
“I’m in control, he’s not going to burn. It’s natural. I shouldn’t have to cover up. I was feeding him on the bus. On a bike. At an arcade.”
Amee said her husband, Stephen Cefai, 28, a cartoonist, has always loved her “bubbly” personality.
She said: “I’m enjoying myself. I want to live forever – I know you can’t but I have got this zest for life. I want to be an amazing mum and partner.”
