'Being a working mum with kids in sports is impossible and unsustainable'

"I see why people stay at home, I really do," a mum says in an epic rant. Do feel the same way?

At the beginning of her now-viral video, mum Mo addresses the fact that everyone knows that "being a mum is hard".

But she claims, "Being a working mum is hardER."

That's not all though.

She says, "Being a working mum with children with extra-curricular activities is just unrealistic and so hard, it just doesn't even make sense."

If you find yourself nodding along already, you're going to love the rest of her rant.

"It seems unsustainable"

She continues, "It feels unsustainable. Like, how long am I going to be able to do this? I don't know. I'm going to work. I'm getting off work. I gotta round everybody up. I have a school-aged child. I got babies at daycare."

Then there's the hidden mental load behind it all. 

"I got to make sure I got his stuff for football. I got to make sure I got their snacks. I got to make sure I got a portable potty...

"When I'm done doing that, sitting there trying to entertain the little ones while the big one is practising, I then have to go home, wash everybody up, feed everybody, get everybody down for sleep, and do it again the next day," she says. 

This never-ending cycle can cause burnout, something Mo believes leads working mums to decide to stay home instead.

She says, "I see why people stay at home. Yeah, I do. I see why because if not, your kids are now eating McDonald's and Hamburger Helper pretty much every day. This is absolutely crazy... But it's all for them.

"I love them. And I wouldn't trade them for anything."

She then captioned the clip, "Shout out to my husband because he works too and coaches."

"I'm over here fighting for my life, sis"

Thousands of parents related to Mo, voicing their shared frustrations in the comments.

"I'm over here fighting for my life sis," wrote one person.

"Band. Football. Soccer. Basketball. And I still cook full meals at least four days M-F. I'm tiiireeed!!" said another.

Then this person made the point, "Girl it’s exhausting, but then when they’re not in sports they’re running around being destructive monsters, so I do what I gotta do to survive!"
