An Australian mother named Jasmine counted the number of times her children called for her in a day, reaching a staggering total of 234. Despite her husband being home, the kids continued to seek her out, showcasing the constant demand placed on mothers. Jasmine's experiment served to quantify her daily interruptions, revealing she might hear the word 'Mom' over 85,000 times in a year. Her TikTok video resonated with other moms, sparking discussions about the overwhelming nature of this parental experience.
The kids just kept calling for me and calling for me even though my husband was home and was able to help them.
It was a way of quantifying and then justifying how the constant interruption was feeling.
If that's the daily average number in one year, I'm hearing it 85,410 times.
On Mother's Day, I asked only for my name to not be mentioned for a single day.
