In a traditional household, a man goes off to work, and a woman stays home to take care of the kids. Today, many, many households do not follow that mold, but some still do especially when there is a baby or very young child in the house. Sometimes it’s easier and less expensive for a parent to stay home than to pay for daycare.
One stay-at-home mom of two young children decided to take a video of everything she did during the day. The trigger was her boyfriend telling her that he didn’t think she did anything while he was at work.
Men, just because the house is clean and the kids are in bed when you leave for work, that does not mean that the house looked like that all day. This video is proof, and this mom is amazing.
At the beginning of the video, we see her hand washing a pile of dishes including trays from her children’s highchairs. Then she moves on to cleaning up the kitchen, changing diapers, giving her kids baths, folding laundry, cleaning up the dining room, putting her daughter in bed, cleaning the living room, eating dinner while holding her baby which resulting in both of them needing to change clothes, getting her son in bed, cleaning the floor and finally arriving at a stopping point. It sounds like a huge, stressful and very relatable to-do list.
At the very end of the video, this stay-at-home mom shares that she usually texts her boyfriend to ask him what he wants for dinner, but that was far from her plan on this particular night. Instead, she poured herself a well-deserved drink.
Watch the video below to see a glimpse into the life of a stay-at-home mom for yourself.

Can you relate to this video? Have you ever stayed home with young children full time? If so, have you ever had anyone think that you don’t really do anything all day?
