It's been a while since we've felt the true burn of a Kardashian clapback (after all, they are legendary), so we were very much pleased this morning to hear the news that Kourtney Kardashian has been busy shutting down a social media troll who criticised her parenting. Yep, finally filling the Kardashian clapback-shaped hole in our lives, the 42-year-old took to Instagram to respond to a critic who'd dissed her skills as a mother.

It all started when the mum-of-three shared a photo of her and the kids enjoying a horseback ride on the beach. But, while many of her 150 million Instagram followers had a positive reaction to the family pic (with the post already racking up nearly 3 million likes in just 24 hours), some people couldn't help but throw a jab at the Poosh founder.

'Oh wow you're with your kids finally????' the critic commented, to which Kourtney expertly replied: 'I'm with my kids every day thank God, social media isn't always real life.' Well said Kourt, well said!

Although it's not the first time the 42-year-old has been forced to defend her parenting skills on social media, more recently she's come under fire for her non-stop PDA with fiancé Travis Barker – including one clip in which she and the Blink-182 drummer were getting v handsy while Kris Jenner was right next to them, and after they were caught enjoying a rather steamy lap dance in the middle of someone else's wedding.
