Mom shares her seven-year-old's heartbreaking drawing of her working - and it hits you right in the heart
""I actually looked at it, and it broke my heart," Amin told Good Morning America. "Well, it sort of warmed and broke my heart at the same time.""
""I chose to share the blog originally via a LinkedIn post because I knew this was something universally felt by parents everywhere right now, and we're all feeling like we're shouldering this alone," she explained to Scary Mommy."
"A cousin of mine talked about work-life balance recently. She said that it doesn't exist...and I totally agree! We should view it as work-life acceptance!! Makes sense to me...and makes it easier as well!- Tabitha Griffin (@tabigriffin) January 7, 2021"
A 7-year-old drew a sketch showing a parent at a laptop while a child asked, "Mommy are you done?" The drawing captured a parent responding without looking back and evoked both warmth and heartbreak. A mother of two kept working to finish important tasks so she could focus on her children, then shared the image with colleagues and posted it on LinkedIn and a blog. The image resonated widely and went viral. Many parents report blurred lines between work and family life during the pandemic and difficulty stepping away from work to be present with children.
