Megan Fox receives criticism after sharing a rare photo of her sons

For some reason, everyone just loves to judge how other parents raise their kids; from how they dress them to their disciplinary methods.

Celebrity mums are subjected to this judgement even more.

US actress and model Megan Fox, 31, posted a rare picture of her boys Noah, 5, and Bodhi, 4, to her Instagram.

The two boys are shown sitting in the sun with big smiles and the proud mum captioned the snap with “babes”.

So far, nothing too unusual – mums post pictures of their kids all the time.

Fox’s followers started commenting with hearts and sweet words about how adorable they are.

But, of course, not everyone was entirely happy with the shot, all because the Transformers star’s sons have long hair.

There were some who added angry-face emojis and others even went as far as to ask Fox why her boys look like they are girls.

A few felt sorry for Fox’s sons, saying, “Poor boys they look like girls”.

Somehow, we don’t think it would be all that bad to be one of her sons.

There were some genuinely amusing responses, though, with some of the bombshell’s “loyal” followers commenting with, “beautiful girls like their mother”.

Fox and husband, Brian Austin Green, also have a one-year-old son named Journey – they have no daughters, period.

Last year, Fox was in the spotlight over a similar gender-based issue when she let her boys wear dresses.

Thankfully, several of her fans came to the rescue this time around to shut down the trolls on her behalf.

One of the best responses was, “if you don’t agree with their hairstyle don’t wear [it] yourself!”

Too right - does it really matter if boys have long hair?
