A single mum was fired from her new job at a daycare centre after she posted on Facebook that she "hated" it.

Kaitlyn Walls, 27, who criticised the position just hours before she started her first shift, was hit by a barrage of insults from other users.

She posted: “I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at day care.

And, after her bosses got wind of the post, they told her not to bother coming in.

Kaitlyn, from Texas, told: "I really needed it really bad. I’m a single mom trying to get out on my own.

“I had all these girls attacking me because I don’t want to be around a lot of kids all the time,”

Kaitlyn was branded "dumb".

She said she wasn't trying to offend anybody and maintains she doesn't hate kids.
