Teenager, Jillian Hartsock, decided to dress up as an exhausted mum for Halloween, and she nailed it!

“Jillian’s ‘tired mom’ costume is literally EVERYTHING” a Facebook post reads.

The post has been liked over 30,000 times and shared over 77,000 times. In her Target bag she also had diapers, wipes and three bottles of wine.

You can even see the baby vomit on her shirt and breast pads peeking out her top.

Young Jillian got the idea from her own mum, Lindsay Hartsock, who herself is a very tired busy mother, juggling lots of little ones, plus a business along with her husband Kyle.

“We have 9 kids and a busy photography business,” Lindsay tells Scary Mommy. “Jillian sees me trying to manage our big, active family AND also our profession… plus, she helps a lot so she knows exactly what it’s like to be a tired mommy (and sister!) and she thought it would be be a perfect costume for her.”

“Growing up in a big family, she has seen the blood sweat and tears that go into raising kids! She did so great taking these photos! I told her to smile in one and she said ‘I’m happy, but I’m a tired mom, so I have to keep this look so I don’t break character!’”

Lindsay added, “So many mums are saying that it makes them feel normal and not alone to see other moms look and feel the same way sometimes. the funniest comments are the ones from Mums saying that they don’t even have to dress up for Halloween because they look like this everyday!”

The best costume we have ever seen!

  • I wonder if there has been any multiple births. The Mum’s body has gone through a lot having given birth to 9 babies. I love this photo. Not only is a special costume it is routine life for some Mums
