I was just coming on to post this lol. So great but I agree with @linegirl313‌. I'm surprised that by the middle of the interview they hadn't caught on lol. Though maybe some of the 24 did and they took those were outtakes :-)

ETA - at any rate, I feel Truly Blessed to be a Director of Operations

I agree! I couldn't believe that they didn't catch on but you were probably right that some did catch on that is why they aren't shown. However I think that this video can be a real eye opener to certain people who think we have it easy.

I wouldn't trade my job for the world

I'm rolling my eyes at that blog.

^^ I actually haven't watched the video yet. I'm totally OK with people not liking it. That guy just seemed smug and doesn't get why that advertisement might appeal to some mothers. His refusal to think beyond his own center, then, proves the point of why it actually might appeal to some mothers.

Am I the only one that kind of eyerolled this? I thought it was over the top. I don't really look at motherhood as a job. Moms are definitely unsung heroes, taking the role on because of all the love we get in return. But we are also built to do this. It's human nature. I mean, some moms definitely suck and their natural mom instinct isn't as strong as most, but generally, I think moms are just built to nurture in order to keep life going.
On the flip side, I put a lot of effort into my career. I work hard at my profession and my efforts go to an external cause, not just one that is intimately connected to me. I feel like the two are separate and being a mom is not really a "job" it's just a life.

I agree with what you are saying and that this is what we are meant to do. I just really liked the video.
