Oh man, PG has gone and done it again. Someone must have put onions under my desk – THE TEARS!

I’m not bothered that these videos (remember this one from 2012?) focus on moms and leave out dads. Given all the invisible work that mothers have done for centuries, I’m grateful for the public acknowledgement and truly beautiful representation of what motherhood looks and feels like (that vicarious joy and hurt and triumph from one’s children is so very real). I am bothered, however, that it is all white mothers and their white children. The video still tugs at my core, but I do wish for a more diverse representation of my fellow moms.
