Being a mom is a thankless job but when you're a single mom it gets even harder. Things can get hectic around the holidays and there's so much extra stuff to do, like dealing with the annoying "Elf on the Shelf".
This mom came up with a clever plan so she didn't have to move the elf every day but unfortunately her plan kinda backfired, pun intended.
This year she came up with a plan.
Therefore he needed to stay put for a whole two weeks.
Not having to move the elf must've been a relief. Ha, ha!
So she hid the elf in the oven and vowed to deal with him later.
Then came time to make lunch, she turned on the oven to pre-heat it. When she started to smell something funky, she realized her mistake.
Brittany and her friend tried desperately to rescue the melting elf but it was too late. The damage was done.
I have to say, can you blame her?
I guess these are the struggles of a single mom.
Thankfully, Santa came through.
So it all ended up working out in the end. Ha, ha.
Smart boy.
She received over 150, 000 shares and a ton of comments from other parents.
Hey, it happens.
After all, raising kids on your own is tough enough. She's done her best and that's all that matters.
