A MUM has hit back at trolls who claim she should holiday abroad rather than go to Butlin's.
Many people dream of the sun when they book a holiday, but for Chelsea McHodg (chels_mchodg), her top priority is for her daughter to have fun.
In a recent TikTok video, the mum-of-one responded to a comment that said: "Girl I still don't understand why you don't book Spain or something for the same amount of money, the baby would love it too, Butlin's is the same as a two star (hotel.)"
The young mum revealed she wasn't fussed about going on holiday abroad, especially with a toddler.
Chelsea added that she would much prefer taking Jamie Lee to Butlin's where her daughter can actually enjoy herself.
She added: "We don't want to go abroad.

"Then you've got to get on your transport to your apartment, with a toddler? no thanks."
Chelsea revealed she has also spend £1,300 on another trip to Butlin's later this year, and she couldn't wait as they would have the Masked singer event there.

Chelsea revealed that a family holiday was all about making sure the kids had fun rather than the parents.
Questioning other parents who insist on going abroad with their little ones, Chelsea asked: "What is the exact reasons why you wanna go abroad?
"Cause I pretty much guaranteed it's not for the kid.
"It's cause you wanna tan and you wanna be in the sun.
"I'm not bothered about that. I'm not bothered whether it's raining.
"I just want my daughter to have fun and to see her smile."
In addition, Chelsea said at two years old her daughter wasn't likely to remember any holidays so would rather wait to go abroad until she can.
And when she does, the mum's first stop will be Disneyland.
The video has since gone viral with over 100k views and over 5,000 likes.
Parents quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts, and many were divided.
Some agreed with Chelsea while others claimed they would much rather travel abroad and see the world.
One wrote: "Sorry but for £1,300 you could have a good overseas holiday she'll love it, more things to do kids love to travel!"
Another person commented: "Don’t understand why people are so bothered about where u go on holiday. my parents would always take me to Butlin's when I was younger and I loved it."
"Either way kids are gonna have fun! Caravan holiday, Butlin's holiday or a holiday abroad kids are gonna love it," penned a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth added: "I honestly agree with her, the stress to get there just for nice holiday is a lot stress if she enjoys and her child enjoys what point going through."
