Honest email signature from mom goes viral
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
Moms got to do what a mom's got to do...
When you're a parent, there's not much you can't do. Because even if you know in your heart you can't do something, somehow you find the courage to push through and do it.
All for the well-being of our children.
It's not easy, but we get through. For the most part, many parents do it without help. Because childcare, good childcare, doesn't come cheap.
One mother that took her chance to bare it all is a freelance writer from Pittsburgh, PA.
Meg St-Espirit recently went viral for sharing a screen grab of her email signature.
In the United States, kids go on school break for three months and so parents sometimes have a tough time juggling this period.
After receiving a not-so-nice email that questioned why she had not responded to an email sent 24 hours prior, she shared her new email signature.

The fact that she brought up a pressing issue for parents who cannot afford childcare during the school break shows that even developed countries have problems.
As a mother of four, St-Espirit spoke out about being a mother to her kids whilst also working.
Her email signature got people talking, and it really resonated with other working mothers. Check out some of the comments:
fortressandflourish: "Yes!! And the other 9 months of the year too since my kids are too little for kindergarten."
empowering_mom: "I may be borrowing this! And I know a lot of new moms who can’t find or afford childcare that could too!"
bright_littles: "OMG 🙌 i feel this to my core!!"
workingmomnotes: "YES. This should be every maternity leave signature!"
