On Wednesday, maternal goddess Kim Kardashian took to Instagram to champion the unsung heroes in all our lives: moms. Tired of being unappreciated, the mother of New York Fashion Week’s hottest toddler reposted an image lamenting the trials and tribulations of being “just a mom.”

Well, blogger Esther Anderson must have heard Kim’s cries for more maternal acknowledgement, because on Thursday the YouTuber posted a video called “Why moms get NOTHING done.” The clip offers a glimpse into the daily life of a busy parent, who finds all of her hard work undone by her adorable yet mischievous daughter. The video has clearly resonated with moms all over the Internet: Since Anderson posted it on Facebook, it’s gotten more than 59 million views.
