In the video, which has gained more than 100,000 views online, she explained: "My husband just got home from the grocery store; he took both boys, they're one and two.
"Three people stopped him to tell him what a great dad he was for taking them to the store."
"Do you know how many times I've taken both of my kids to the grocery store, to literally everywhere? A million. How many people have stopped me to say I'm a great mom? Zero."
The Maryland-based mum captioned the clip: "Gold star apparently. #bareminimum."
TikTok users were left divided over the clip as some took to the comments insisting she was overthinking it.
A user commented: "But won't this encourage hubby to take the kids shopping?"
Another wrote: "It's not a competition."
"He seems pretty great to me," a third added.
However, some agreed that mums often go under-appreciated – as one user said: "This happens all the time we got 4 my hubs will take the kids somewhere and baby they always telling him 'Ahhh you are such a good dad'. Really."
A second penned: "Gonna start telling moms they’re great for going to the store with their kids!"
A third added: "You’re a great mom! Sad moms don’t get more appreciation."
Some mums even mums chimed in with the compliments their partners receive on a regular basis including: "Oh my, you have your hands full," "Does he change diapers?'" and "He's such an amazing dad!"
