A MAJOR British content creator is being slammed by her fans for pulling her children out of school to make extra money.
The internet mum is currently in Malaysia doing some brand deals, and gushed about the extra income in a post to her TikTok channel.
Tamira of The Hutchinson Family, who have garnered thousands of followers online for their travel content, candidly spoke to her camera while strolling on the beach.
She revealed: “We’ve [the family] realised we’ve hit a bit of a problem, and it’s all to do with income.
“We have finally been able to make it that social media, our content, does support us.
“That is our income, that is how we afford to travel full time, that is our jobs.”

The influencer then continued to speak about her conflict over whether to stay in Malaysia or head back to the UK.
She continued: “This is a problem because with using Malaysia, et cetera as a bit of a base to catapult us to where we’re going next it means that because we’re not based in the UK – even though we are a UK family – that we miss out on some of those brand deals.
“Really big brand deals. Also big events that we get invited to, because we aren’t in the UK we aren’t able to attend these or do these brand deals.
“So we’re coming to a point of going well – we’re basing ourselves here and we absolutely love it – but is it time to look at the UK and see whether it’s worth basing ourselves back in the UK?”
Many viewers of the video appeared to hold an entirely different concern to Tamira though – the impact all of the travelling must be having on her three children.
Taking to the post’s comments section, fans flooded in worrying about the mother’s priorities and the kid’s schooling.
One user said: “Give those kids some stability please.”
A second shared: “It’s all about the money. Not a consideration about the kids schooling.”
A third questioned: “Did you start doing this for your kids or money.”
Meanwhile a fourth added: “Absolutely not. No matter how much money we earn om social media it would not make us leave the amazing life our children are having just because we get more brand deals in the UK…”
But many other fans also admired her travelling, and how she’s doing so well with her income through social media.
One happy fan shared: “All these comment, but you know what guys. You’re the only people who know what’s ‘right’ for the family. You guys go with you gut it’s why you have it!”
A second added: “Girl move back for a bit then carry on, there are no rules, you are living your life and that means taking opportunities to make money to continue.”
