Emma Conway, whose blogger name is Brummy Mummy Of 2, made the controversial remark about her husband, Stephen, when talking about her New Year's Resolutions.

But the 42-year-old, based in Birmingham, was widely criticisied by fans who said she was trivialising men's experience of domestic violence.

The 42-year-old made the remark about her husband Stephen (pictured together) in a since-deleted blog post about her New Year's Resolutions

Mrs Conway had written a blog post that set out her 16 resolutions for 2020 which included keeping her tablet charged and in her bag, not wearing her pyjamas in the day and shouting at her children less.

But fans were unhappy with her eighth statement which detailed how some domestic chores sent her 'crazy' and that she often got frustrated with husband Stephen.

She said: 'I will TRY and be tolerant when my other half doesn't empty the tumble dryer, offers no help whatsoever packing for holidays and when he lies in on another Saturday morning.

'I will TRY to not want to smash his face in. I said TRY.'

Her followers were quick to comment underneath the since-deleted post.

One wrote: 'Not funny at all - joking about perpetrating domestic violence is out of order.

'Imagine if your husband was saying that in a blog.'

Another added: 'Wow, wow, wow, I have no words! Not one word in this is funny in the slightest. Shocking!'

A third said: 'WOW! Absolutely disgusted you would post this.

'You seem very lucky to have Stephen in your life, maybe have a little bit of respect?

'He seems like he does a lot for you and your family.'

Last night, Mrs Conway, who has more than 100,000 Instagram followers and 26,000 Twitter followers, apologised for her comments

The apology began: 'It's been brought to my attention that a tongue-in-cheek blog post I wrote about the New Year's resolutions of a knackered mum offended some people'

Another fan passionately wrote: 'To threaten violence to her husband for not completing a couple of the tasks which he does, and almost do so in a way which she appears to think is funny, is so concerning.

'Why is violence towards men normalised? If this is a private joke between her and her partner then that is one thing.

'But to publicise it on a blog which is no doubt monetised, is deeply worrying.

'From memory I'm sure she started this blog to support mums. To promote a normalisation of domestic violence to her audience is appalling.

'I hope this is removed and any money earned is donated to a domestic abuse charity to support those vulnerable people she is mocking.'

The mother-of-two (pictured with her family) said that she was 'mortified' that her comments had caused offence

One fan wrote under the original post: 'You seem very lucky to have Stephen in your life, maybe have a little bit of respect?'

Others said that the comment was 'pretty messed up' and a 'new low' for the mother-of-two.

Around 4.2 per cent of men and 7.9 per cent of women suffered domestic abuse in the UK during 2018, according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS).

This equates to about 685,000 male victims and 1,300,000 women with murders related to domestic violence at a five-year high.

Last night, Mrs Conway apologised for her comments on her Instagram stories.

The couple celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary in December last year. Mrs Conway's debut book, Will I Ever Pee Alone Again?, is set to come out on March 5

She said: 'It's been brought to my attention that a tongue-in-cheek blog post I wrote about the New Year's resolutions of a knackered mum offended some people.

'With travelling and the time difference my team dealt with it the best way they knew which was to immediately delete the post.

'I of course do not think domestic violence is funny.

'My writing is different to my social media. It's more character-based. I like to talk about the imperfections of marriage and raising kids.

'It's not literal that I try not to smash my husband's face in.

'I apologise if this was not clear to all my readers. And I am mortified that I have upset some of you.

'I'm continually learning in this job. Lots of love.'

Mrs Conway has worked with dozens of brands including Alzheimers UK, Disney, CoLab dry shampoo, McDonald's and The Works. She recently went on a gifted trip to New York with her husband and two children

Mrs Conway later added: 'I'm really sorry for my comment, it was insensitive. I'd like to apologise to anyone who has been upset and I promise to learn from this experience and do better moving forward.'
