To spot a mom, just look for a human pack mule. “That’s how you know,” Anna Zapotosky tells TODAY.com. Zapotosky, who shares two kids with her husband, Paul, recently posted a rant about the weight of motherhood — and she wasn’t talking about the mental load. “How come dads don’t have to carry anything?” Zapotosky, 43, asked.
“And I thought, what it must be like to walk in somewhere and just have your arms.” “Seriously though, who decided that moms have to not only carry the children but carry everything else for the rest of their lives? Zapotosky added in her caption. Zapotosky’s reel struck a chord with other mamas: “Oh I relate to this so much!!! At least 2-3 drinks always, a bag for me, always snacks for kids, their gymnastics/tennis/swim stuff, plus backpacks and books and shoes. Multiple trips in from the car.
