"Let's pick up all the dirty diapers I have lying around my house," she begins. "I don't own a diaper pail or a Diaper Genie ... [diapers] just kind of get thrown around my house and then we just collect them in a bag at the end of the day and take them out to the dumpster." This comment highlights the humorous yet candid reality of parenting, where messiness is an everyday occurrence.
"No wonder my house friggin' stinks right now," she concludes. This statement shows the relatable frustration many parents feel when dealing with the chaos that comes with young children.
At least as many of the comments, however, were supportive. Other moms recognized themselves in this moment. More still simply acknowledged that motherhood (especially when you've got a toddler and a newborn) is tough and simply surviving the day can be enough to declare victory.
And then something interesting happened: "17 Diapers" became a kind of TikTok rallying cry for moms to share their own stories of messy parenting, creating a sense of community amid the chaos.
