00:24amazing cook and a mom
00:27to her beloved girl
00:30Talia good morning sunshine
00:35Do I have to go to school
00:39Well, it'd be such a shame if your friends missed out on seeing your awesome project I
00:47Know I love it. Yep. It would be fun to show it off
00:56Sally began to get Talia ready brush it clean

01:33Hey Sally, hi March off to work. I don't know how you do it
01:41What single mom juggling with work a child and housework?
01:46Tons of coffee little sleep and oodles of love
01:50Sally the super mom that's what you are
01:54Sally was indeed super even at work her efficiency was astounding
02:01Thanks, Sally. You're amazing
02:03Just doing my job boss. She was admired by everyone for her diligence
02:09After work, she picked up Talia from school and went grocery shopping at home Sally whipped up a nourishing meal for both of them
02:20May I play a bit before bed
02:22All right, I'll take a look at the bills Sally's income was decent
02:28But rising expenses and Talia's growing needs left her feeling financially stretched. I should take on more work
02:35I think it's time
02:39For bed
02:42Talia oh
02:43Dear the floor was strewn with playthings and Talia was fast asleep on the sofa
02:49Sally cleaned up the toys and then carried her to bed
02:53Good
02:55Night to manage expenses. She took on extra work, but the additional hours meant she often left work late
03:05Marge will you look after Talia after school? I'll pick her up from your place after work
03:11You Sally worked hard and often came home exhausted
03:16mom
03:17Can we have that chicken and spinach dish you made last time? Oh
03:22Well, please
03:25All right, sweetie
03:27Sally laid all her love and energy into the dish her daughter so wanted
03:35Huh, whoa you toast off
03:40But no matter what came her way
03:42She always put her daughter first and made sure she handled every situation with love and grace
03:49Time went by and Talia grew into a teen
03:53Mom, I'm going out with my friends. What about breakfast?
03:58pancakes
04:00I'll grab something at the mall. Bye. Oh, okay love
04:06Hey
04:11Tal hi Alice Ryan
04:15Brendan's throwing a party tonight a
04:19Party, we're all going you coming. Oh, definitely
04:24Back at home Marge was visiting Sally
04:27Enjoying the terrible teens. She isn't terrible just growing wish I could say the same
04:35Minds always indoors screaming at his computer games lucky
04:40Talia's almost never home that evening Sally saw her daughter posing in front of the mirror. That's pretty
04:48Right. I'm attending Brandon's party tonight
04:51Sally was shocked. Isn't Brandon the one who bullies those juniors? Well
04:57Yeah, but it's Talia. You're not going to this party. What?
05:03But all my friends will be there I'm sorry Tal I don't trust that boy that isn't fair mom
05:12But Sally remained firm the next day Talia met her friends at school
05:17Tal you ditched us last night. Mom didn't let me bummer want to see the pictures we took. Ooh
05:26Mind sharing them what in the Stone Age is that?
05:31Mom got it for me last year. You you need an update
05:35Lay off her Alice Talia blushed that night. She nervously glanced at Sally mom
05:42I need a new phone. Huh? Is that one spoiled? No, my friends have the latest ones
05:50so being seen with this old dump is
05:54Embarrassing Tal you begged me to buy that for you. If it's working, then there's no reason to buy a new one
06:02But suddenly there was a knock on the door
06:09Hey Tal
06:11Alice Brandon and his friends are here
06:14Talia looked out and saw a group of people on motorbikes. We're all going for a night ride. Come on. Oh
06:22Wow, let me just I'm sorry Alice, but Talia won't be joining you
06:29Sally closed the door
06:32Why did you do that? I've told you I don't trust him and Alice too
06:38Also, they aren't wearing helmets and who knows how dangerously they drive
06:43It's like I'm in prison
06:45No motorbikes no parties, no new phone you never let me do anything
06:51I'm trying to protect you. No, you're trying to control me
06:58Talia stormed off to bed crying Sally sighed heavily. Oh, baby. I
07:06I
07:10Wish you could just see things from my perspective
07:23Talia

07:41Don't worry mom. I'm a 50 year old woman. Huh? I'm not 50 Tal

07:57What look we don't know how long the situation is gonna last but I I mean you
08:05We have school
08:07Well, luckily you can work from home. I'll just email them mom
08:12I don't know if this is toxic optimism or that you're just a Lulu. Ah
08:19During breakfast they filled each other in on what to expect at school and at work
08:24You just need to fill in this data
08:29You'll do fine I
08:31Hope so and
08:34about school
08:36Relax, I used to be a straight-a student. You'll need to do the grocery and laundry
08:42Sure
08:47At the beginning things were relatively fine
08:50This is easy, huh, she started receiving more work
08:55Hold on. I can't finish this by the evening. What does this lady want? Oh, no
09:02Sally on the other hand was dealing with a surprise math test
09:07I'm gonna ace this hmm
09:10Hmm. Hmm
09:12Was math always so tough?
09:14Was math always so tough meanwhile Talia was struggling at home, which button
09:23Is this enough soap she later attempted to make a chicken wrap, oh no a plate
09:31Drat I didn't do the dishes
09:36Huh Talia rushed towards the machine and saw bubbles pouring out
09:43What the freak oh
09:46It's not even evening and I'm already so exhausted in the evening Sally came home. Oof
09:53Teen social life is tough
09:58Huh
10:00Lol skull emoji. Is this person in trouble?
10:05Mom, I'm beat and starved
10:10Since there weren't any groceries Sally made sandwiches, which they munched up quietly
10:16The next day was luckily a weekend, but Talia was grumpy
10:20I have to walk to the stores
10:23Neither of us can drive a car and since I'm cooking and doing laundry you need to do the groceries
10:31Fine
10:33At the store she went around confused staring at a list what's wheat flour
10:40Is self-rising the same?
10:44She went from store to store carrying the heavy bags and dragged herself home
10:51This sucks welcome home come have lunch pasta there weren't many ingredients I
11:03Don't want pasta
11:05Alice just asked me to go to the movies and I can't go. I'm sick of this Talia ran out of the house frustrated
11:13She wandered around until she reached the park
11:17She sat down and glared at the pond
11:21Sally huh? Oh, hi, mrs. Uh, I mean Marge
11:27I'm here for a stroll. Are you okay?
11:30Uh, yeah, it's just mom I mean Talia she's so annoying
11:38Everything's annoying Wow
11:40I've never heard you complain about Talia Talia was surprised never once
11:46Remember those nights where you'd soothe her to sleep when she was a baby
11:51Other moms grumbled about losing sleep. You didn't
11:54Cook up amazing meals after a hard day's work, but she became a picky eater, but you never complained
12:02Even now as a teen you always put her first. You're an amazing mom
12:08Talia began to think back about how hard her mom loved and cared for her. Thanks March happy to help
12:18Back at home Sally was waiting for Talia
12:21Back at home Sally was waiting for Talia. Hey Talia. Oh
12:26Ryan everything. Okay. Um, I'm just a bit stressed because of towel
12:31Uh, I mean mom another fight, huh? Our parents really struggled to get us
12:37They don't know what we deal with and how hard our lives are. That's
12:41True, but I know you love her. I've seen the way your eyes sparkle when you talk about her. I do
12:47Yep. Well, I'm off. See ya
12:51Hmm
12:54After a while Talia returned tell you're back. Look what I made with all the groceries you so wonderfully bought
13:04Talia was stunned at the spread. I
13:07Know things are tough, but we'll get through it
13:10Mom, I'm sorry for all the mean things. I've said and done to you. I didn't realize how hard it's been raising me
13:18Talia I
13:19Couldn't do the grocery the cooking even the dishes kept piling up tall
13:25I never realized how much you handle every day and I had no clue being a teen in today's world was so complicated
13:32I'm sorry, too for not understanding you
13:36And I don't like Alice. I don't like her either
13:40But Ryan seems nice. Yeah
13:43Mom, I think you're a super mom
13:47And I love you. I love you a bit too much my love
13:52It was at this moment that you switched back. Oh
13:56I'm back me, too
13:59Happy you're no longer a 50 year old lady, but you are at 50
14:04and so
14:06Sally and Talia began to navigate their lives together
14:10Sally maintained super efficiency, but added empathy and flexibility to her ways
14:15Talia acknowledging her mom's efforts appreciated the superhero persona while becoming her sidekick
