The mother of five said that when her son Morrow was just a few months old, she became pregnant with twins.
Babies who are born less than a year apart are known as Irish twins, meaning Morrow’s younger sisters are technically his triplets.
The term Irish twins was initially used as a derogatory term directed at Irish Catholics who emigrated to America.
Because Catholics do not believe in contraception, Irish families were often large, with children born close in age.
In the video, the 26-year-old, now pregnant with her sixth child, revealed that mean trolls criticized her for having children so close together, as they said that Morrow will have to grow up quickly and the attention will have been taken away from tomorrow.
However, Taeyln responded to the trolls, stating, “I hold onto Morrow more than either of the twins, so if you’re going to worry about someone, I’d worry about them.”
The Irish triplets appear to have a strong bond and Taelyn shared clips of the trio laughing and playing together.
Although raising three children under the age of one is undoubtedly a difficult task, Taeyln seems to have taken it in stride.
In another video, the mother shared her morning routine with her children, which includes waking up at 6:45 am, changing excessive amounts of diapers and balancing cleaning with childcare.
Taelyn’s video, posted under the username @taelynmacdonald, likely left many speechless as it went viral, racking up 570,000 views on the video-sharing platform.
TikTok users rushed to the comments section of the videos to share their thoughts.
One person said: “Oh, how that felt.
“My son was 11 months old when my twins were born and I heard that sometimes.
“He is as loved as his sisters.”
A second person said: “I loved being the same age as my brothers.
“Built-in best friends for life!”
A third said: “My little brother is 11 months younger than me and I was still one of the babies.”
A fourth added: “My parents have had three kids in two years and we are best friends.
“Don’t listen to the haters, beautiful mommy!”
