A working mother stirred up the conversation surrounding the amount of parental leave afforded to moms in America when she filmed herself crying because she was only able to see her baby sit up for the first time on a computer monitor.
The video drew attention to gender equality, while some people in the comment thread saw it as vindication for choosing an affluent husband.
This conversation follows a 2019 study indicating that the number of working mothers in America has increased from 51% to 72% over the last 50 years.
