Mothers, families reflect on National Working Moms Day

While we are a couple months away from Mother鈥檚 Day, March 12 is when we celebrate a certain group of them.

was the brainchild of entrepreneur Susannah Lago in 2020. Its purpose is to honor the women who, after spending a full day on the job, head home to also take care of their family.

A lot of working moms vacationing in D.C. spent the day on the National Mall with their families, including Amy Nelson, who shared the challenges of having five kids.

鈥淚 would say time management and making sure everyone鈥檚 needs are met,鈥 Nelson said.

While it was a cold, windy day in D.C., Nelson smiled when she said her needs are also met thanks to her husband: 鈥淗e cooks a lot.”

Standing beside Nelson was her husband, who said she has been 鈥渨onderful.鈥

鈥淢ultiple times, she’s been the one who’s kept this family together,鈥 he said.

Not only did Nelson鈥檚 husband sing her praises, so did her son, saying, 鈥淪he’s always there if I need someone.鈥

The 17-year-old did jokingly acknowledge his mother is also around making sure he doesn’t get into trouble.

Waiting to cross 15th Street to head toward the National Museum of African American History and Culture was a mother and son from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

鈥淚鈥檓 on vacation, but I鈥檓 a working mom,” Carla Silvano said.

It didn鈥檛 take Silvano long to mention how she used to get her son Matthew to 鈥渟chool events and back鈥 when he was younger while also working a 9-to-5 job.

Luckily, Silvano鈥檚 job in banking allowed her to accomplish that and watch him compete in cross country meets.

鈥淚 ran a lot of 5Ks, a lot of long races, a lot of not-so-great venues. And she was there for all of them,鈥 Matthew said.

Mandi Myers, from Nashville, said managing the schedule of three kids, a husband and a job can be tough.

鈥淭aking care of everything that needs to be taken care of at home, shopping, cleaning,鈥 Myers said.

鈥淐ooking, cleaning and helping the kids,鈥 are all the ways that Myers said her husband helps around the house.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a team effort,鈥 Myers added.

Heading toward the Washington Monument was Katrina, a tourist from Sydney, Australia. She passed by a group of students on a field trip before stopping and chatting with 91欧美激情.

While Katrina does not have children that are human, she still feels like a mom: 鈥淚 don’t have children, I have dogs.”

The fur babies are 鈥渂eing well looked after鈥 Down Under while she and her husband are holidaying in the U.S.

Thanks to recently retiring, Katrina is no longer a working dog mom, which she says is a win-win.
