A woman has taken to social media to admit that she's done with having children at the age of 19.

Tylar Fertuck, from Saskatoon in Canada, told her 226,000 followers that despite her being so young, she's done with having children during a response aimed at someone who asked her about the age of her daughter.

The teen replied: "I got pregnant with Tessa when I was 15. I was 16 when she was born. Then I got pregnant with TJ when I was 17. And I was still 17 when he was born."

"I was done having kids before I turned 18," the TikTok user continued as she danced around in front of the camera.

Watch the clip below:

The 14-second clip has now been viewed over 1.7 million times and seemingly divided the internet, with many taking to the comments to express their views on Fertuck's bold decisions.

"You're gonna have great 30s," one user wrote, while another added that they wished they did the same thing: "I wish I started a lot younger than I was when I became a dad. Don't get me wrong, I love my daughters but I'm getting to old to keep up with them..."

However, others weren't as supportive.

"[Too] young," criticized one user.

"Meanwhile I'm 18 and haven't even had my first kiss," wrote another.

The content creator is known for producing videos on the platform that give a bit of insight into what it's like being such a young parent as well as raising children while still trying to figure out your own identity.

When asked why Fertuck and her partner tried for another baby when she was so young, she responded by saying that there were "two main reasons."

"We wanted our kids to be close in age. Regardless of our age, our family started the second our first was born," she said.

And as for reason number two, the teen stated that they were "ready", "physically, mentally and financially."

In another video, another user questioned why her partner never appeared on camera, to which she replied: "He's rarely in videos simply because he doesn't want to be.

"Same with the kids most days, I'd never force anyone to take pictures or videos if they didn't want to," she added.

Fertuck's daughter Tessa is set to turn four this year, while her son TJ is two.
