A mother has posted a video on Instagram that has made thousands of parents laugh and feel sorry for themselves by showing a clever way to take a moment of rest in the midst of daily obligations.

She used a large feather jacket to create an optical illusion that gave her a few moments of peace before starting her evening routine with her child.


In the video, the mother is seen in a large jacket in front of the refrigerator. After closing it, she heads towards the stairs.

An on-screen text explains the situation as "when you need a moment to yourself before dinner, getting ready for bed, reading stories and battling sleep regression."

When she reaches the banister at the bottom of the stairs, she grabs the handle, lifts her legs, and lets her jacket hang.

As a result, it appears that she is still leaning there, even though her hands are not tucked into her sleeves - this gave her some time alone before returning to her household chores.

The video became a hit among parents because, even though it's a funny piece of advice, the idea of ​​needing a short break was understood by many parents. /Telegraph/
