The 31-year-old mum classes herself as a “cool mum” who shares her wardrobe with her 15-year-old daughter.
The pair have even been told they look like sisters by the likes of doctors and teachers.
Abi said: “I wish I could wear her clothes she has a lovely figure, but she nicks my shoes all the time.
“I had T’mia when I was 16, so I was a young mum anyway.
“Now, we’re really close.
“People always think we look like sisters more than mum and daughter and are so shocked when we tell them.”
The mum from Abertillery, Wales, even gets asked for her ID when buying alcohol in shops.
Abi added that she is flattered when people think her daughter is her sister – and the compliment is all the sweeter when it comes from professionals like doctors and teachers.
Including regular anti-wrinkle injections, Abi puts her youthful glow down to her skincare regime.
The mum has looked after her skin from a young age and encourages T’mia to do the same.
She said: “I have always looked after myself, but now I pay double the price as T’mia uses it too.
“I don’t think she minds getting mistaken for sisters.
“We do a lot together. We’re both just wild. We’re constantly singing and dancing together.
“I think sometimes she would rather stay in with me than go out.
“It’s a compliment more than anything, and we’re kind of used to it now.”
The mum gushed over their unique bond and believes their connection radiates for others to see.
She added: “Even her friends say we’re so alike.
“Although that does mean we clash a lot more, but I think it’s because we’re that similar.”
Abi has two younger children as well a T’mia and said raising her as a young and single mum has equipped them with the strength to tackle everything together.
She said being a “young mum was tough” but worth it for their “amazing bond”.
Abi beamed: “It’s us against the world.
“Now most of her friend’s mums are in their 50s and I’m 31.
“Her friends always say to her ‘your mum is so young’ and they’re all always at my house. I’ve always got a full house.”
