Does this video capture the emotions of motherhood perfectly?

It’s called You Made Me A Mother, and it had us sniffling into our morning coffee.

Look, it’s going to be an emotional week for many as the holidays end and school looms, maybe for the first time.

Maybe you can’t wait to get back to ‘normal’, maybe life’s been too hectic with everyone around, or maybe you’ve been doing the daycare shuffle for weeks and you’re already knackered. Whatever. Take a minute to watch this ad out of the US that knows exactly how to push the right buttons to take us back to the wonder of babyhood. Those clever, clever ad people.

And if you’re still in the middle of babyhood, it will make you feel proud. Which is, after all, exactly as it should be.

Our favourite line? ‘You made me fall at my mother’s feet and tell her ‘I get it!'”

Have a happy cry. You’re welcome.

If your kids are growing up, do ads like these make you yearn for the baby years? Or are you pretty glad they’re over?
