Glennon Doyle posted to Facebook to share her unlikely hero and woman across the globe agreed.

Doyle said “I give you: MY NEW HERO. This Soccer (football) Mom, at my kid’s last game.

Whilst the other parents stood loudly and earnestly and concernedly on the sidelines: this mother laid her body down on the ground, her head on her purse, and her blanket over her face – and napped.

Her entire existence said: I am showing up for my kid. But I’m not gonna pretend I’m not exhausted about It.

Please understand that periodically when the sideline yelled and woke her from her warrior sleep she would raise that little thumb of hers and say: yay. And then she’d go back to sleep.

I love her. She is a cultural icon for our time.

Here’s to WOMEN WHO FREAKING REST WHEN THEY’RE TIRED. May we know them. May we raise them. May we be them.

I would like to formally nominate this hero as the president elect of our Women Who Have Run Out of Effs to Give Club.

I will be the Secretary in Charge of Meetings. There will be no meetings.

I salute you.

#OOFClub”.

Doyle’s post has since gone viral for all right reasons, it is rare these days that on social media someone can share some thing and not receive a barrage of negative comments and perfect parents pointing out all the small details, why can’t a mum be exhausted yet supportive. You go girl!!!
