It’s no secret that mamas are some of the hardest working soldiers on this planet.
From maintaining the baby’s nap schedule and chauffering middle schoolers to soccer games to cleaning up toddler Cheerio spills and whipping up gourmet family dinners, they really are expected to do it ALL.
Not to mention, many manage to hold down a full-time job outside the home to make ends meet.
They’re expected to be Energizer bunnies who go go GO, and yet slow down enough to be patient, kind, and compassionate for their bundles of joy.
Oh and then there’s showering — if there’s a spare minute they can be left alone in the bathroom without the house burning down or little claws scratching at the door as high-pitched voices scream “mommmmy” from the other side.
It’s no wonder they’re downright EXHAUSTED.
But where does sleep fit into this schedule?
Oh yeah — it doesn’t.
And all of these sleepless Wonder Woman stunts are so often pulled off without complaint and without much-deserved “thank you’s” from the husband and kids.
But one husband, Peter Bristow, couldn’t help but take notice and pay a tribute to his wife and all the “mums out there who are just spent.”
In a viral Facebook message accompanied by a picture of his wife (who he initially feared was dead) passed out on the carpet, he explained how nice it was to see his hardworking sweetheart “just stop.”

“To all the mums out there who are just spent…
Sometimes you just need to stop.
My wife was shattered (this pic was not staged!).
One moment she was changing a nappy… the next… she was no where to be seen.
