Mother of four Lauren works three jobs while her husband stays home. When a woman spoke about this situation on the Internet, posting a video on TikTok, some viewers began to sympathize with her and cry.

A video of a woman baking pancakes while discussing her life situation has received 114 thousand likes and 1.3 million views.

" They say I don't care about the kids and they think my husband isn't man enough. Like, he’s lazy and takes advantage of my kindness,” Lauren said in an interview with Newsweek magazine.

The woman was previously a full-time teacher and her partner worked at Target. Having decided not to send their children to kindergarten, the couple agreed that the father would take on the role of raising the kids while the mother continued to teach remotely..

Lauren was later forced to lay off her job due to health problems, causing the family to accumulate significant debt.. In January 2020, the children started school, so her husband found a full-time job. However, the pandemic again caused chaos in March 2020.

With both parents working from home and children attending school remotely, tensions between them increased.

" We didn't get along. My husband ended up quitting his job at the end of the year.. I also left my teaching position and switched to remote work on the Internet,” Lauren says in the video..

She became interested in baking and began selling pasta at local farmers' markets.. Despite her success, guilt forced her to close the business and return to teaching and tutoring..

“Now I work 60-80 hours a week, and my husband stays at home. He looks after the children, cooks and cleans. When I'm not working, I help him,"

She is confident that her husband will return to work when their children go to school.

This video became resonant and caused a lively discussion in the comments.

Let us remind you that Jess Darrington from Idaho (USA) decided to document how her daughter grows every month after birth. She had no idea that her eldest child would experience the most changes during this time..

But 2-year-old Penelope from Boston (USA) became a social media star after she gave an unexpected answer to a simple question asked by her mother. The corresponding video quickly went viral on TikTok.
