WATCH: Mom records her 12-hour day after partner says she does nothing while he works

File photo

A stay-at-home mom has had it with her partner’s perception that she sits around the house all day doing nothing as he works outside the home.

To prove that she’s just as busy as he is, and to stop his comments of “enjoy your day off” and “what have you done all day,” Gemma Chalmers, who lives in the UK, recently recorded a time-lapse video of her 12-hour day.

TRENDING NOW:

She compressed the daylong activities into eight minutes and then posted the video on Facebook last week.

All weekend my lovely partner has been moaning that I do nothing all day, so I thought I’d show him a full day. Before I even started this video I had two smashed glasses to clean up as the little man thought it be funny to throw then off the kitchen unit. I emptied the dishwasher, gave the little man breakfast, managed to get a quick shower(with the little man coming and checking on me throughout) changed his bum and got dressed myself. I actually find having a day of work more like a day off. So Mr Jones no more saying “enjoy your day off” or “what have you done all day” because the answer is..... Iv been a mummy all day... Also a cleaner, a driver, a cook, a storyteller, a nurse, a playmate, a toddler wrestling coach, a teacher, an art Director, a potty trainer, a Champion tickler, a wardrobe stylist, a personal dresser, a laundry operator, a personal shopper, and many more.
