“How Do We Do It?”

Dear Dumplin,

I’m having one of those weeks where I feel as though I am simply getting kicked in every direction.  When I saw this video, not only did it make me laugh but I can totally relate.  Some days all Mommies do is try.  We may not succeed, or do it well, but we are trying.

The video was created as part of the Make It Work Campaign.  It is for people who “believe no one should have to choose between putting food on the table and actually being home in time to eat it.”  I think any working parent can relate to this.  There are some days where I work way more hours than I intended to.  Do you notice?  Absolutely.  Do I feel guilty?  Absolutely.  Is it a challenge?  ABSOLUTELY.  I appreciate this video making me laugh about something many working moms go through.  Watch this and understand what your Mom, and your Grandma and countless other women experience on a daily basis.

Love,

Mama
