The post got 117,000 likes on Facebook in one day and thousands of comments. “Thank you so much for this,” one woman wrote. “I was feeling like a bit of a non-motherhood oddball with all the motherhood pictures being posted.”

Another wrote: “Well done. I am a mother but I think stupid Facebook challenges like a Motherhood challenge is a load of elitist, patronising s****.”

The comedian admitted being surprised by the response to her post. “I saw loads of these Motherhood challenges pop up on my newsfeed so just took a few silly photos of me asleep as an alternative,” Ellie told The Metro.

“Obviously I had no idea it was going to be viewed quite so many times or I would’ve brushed my hair. My jaw never expected to be an Internet sensation but it’s bearing up well.”

Ellie isn’t alone in doing the Non-Motherhood Challenge. Helen Kirkbright posted five photos of her travels, showing how not having kids gives her more #Freedom.

While this imgur user showed off her spotless white sofa, adventurous lifestyle and glamorous nights out with her husband.
