I realize that this ad potentially pigeonholes moms, but I appreciate the public acknowledgment and thanks for the incredible support and love that so many women offer their children. Of course dads can and do play this role in their children’s lives, as well.

I agree with both statements at the end of the video. Being a mom is simultaneously the hardest and best job in the world. Strike that. Being a parent is simultaneously the hardest and best job in the world . Period. And while I know that the “work” of the stay-at-home mom has been hotly debated ever since Hilary Rosen’s jab at Ann Romney, Mitt Romney’s wife – I don’t think anyone is denying that parenting is work. Hard, complicated, rewarding, inspiring, challenging, life-altering work.

Thank you to all the parents in the world who take on this role with such grace and discipline and love.
