“You Nailed It”: 53-Year-Old Mom Does Primary School Project for Son, Showing Struggles, SA Relates

• A woman who had a child after the age of 40 showed the struggles of having a child late while doing a school project for her Grade 3 son
• Looking exhausted, she detailed that she had not rested, as she had to help with the project after work in the clip shared on TikTok
• Social media users were impressed with the project result, showering her with compliments and assuring her that parenting was a lot of work at any age

The mom, TikTok user @violettau4, shared her clip on the video-streaming platform, attracting massive views, likes, and comments from social media users who understood her struggle.
