0:00.0	It's okay to admit that mom life feels harder than you ever thought it would be. It's also okay to want it to feel easier. We're surrounded by mixed messages all day. Keep a clean house, but not too clean. Take a rest, Mama, but not too long. That's just selfish. Homemaking is dead, but you better still take care of everything every day. We're told you have two choices. Be Pinterest perfect
0:21.9	or a 24-7 hot mess. I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted and over it. I'm Kendra Hennessy,
0:27.6	founder of Mother like a boss, and I put reluctant homemakers back in the driver's seat of

1:43.5	public school. And he is just so excited.
1:47.3	Obviously, March of 2020, they stopped going. They never went back that school year.
