If you ever wanted to understand motherhood in less than 30 seconds, this clip by Kat Taylor will help you
The Adelaide mum starts her clip, sitting in the car - raging over what she witnessed another mum doing at a basketball match.
"I just want to give a shout-out to the d*ckhead mother that I just saw on the basketball stadium. Who when their son had a major asthma attack, and she ran over there like a f'ing hero with the puffer in her hand and the spacer."
"And she's trying to puff it and spray it, and he wasn't breathing in and was trying to talk back to her. Then she's getting really angry at him because he's not breathing it in. Because...
"She had the lid on."

As Kat finishes speaking, out of breath with anger, we suddenly hear a young boy's voice say, "Mum, that was you!"
"I know," she replies.
It's a very funny plot twist, obviously intended to mock her own parenting and face palm moment.
Kat's clip has since gone viral, with parents loving how relatable it is.
In a follow-up clip, where she gave herself the title "parenting expert," she starts with "I nearly killed my son today" to share more about the incident.
While her twins watch Mean Girls (not doubt for wholesome reasons), she said that she thought her son "wasn't using the spacer because his ego got in the way!"
"Dude, this is no time for ego," she told him in frustration... until she realised the lid was getting in his way.

"I was about to get so mad at you"
With over 3 million views, parents rushed to thank Kat for being so honest - and for giving them a laugh.
"The way I was about to get so mad at you," one viewer wrote.
Kat replied: "Because I was potentially bagging another parent? Nope, I'm just bagging myself."
"It’s the panic. You’re forgiven," another said in solidarity.
This mum agreed, writing, "Parents panic. People panic. It's why medical personnel can't treat families. I'm rock solid in an emergency, but when my daughter collapsed, all I could do was scream for her dad and cry."

"Good on ya for laughing"
While not all the comments were kind, because they didn't realise Kat was "bagging" herself, plenty of parents defended Kat's admission.
"Ha ha, good on ya for laughing at yourself. Every mum has these moments... I feel sorry for the mums on here making comments as if they're perfect," said one.
Another cheered: "The best parents own up and call out their own $h!t. GREAT JOB!"
Finally, this viewer came in to shut down the haters: "If, as a parent, you are not embarrassing yourself and your child on a daily basis, what are you even doing?"
