Mom Gets Doorbell Notification at Work, Cries at What 6-Year-Old Son Says
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A working mom was reduced to tears after her 6-year-old son issued an emotional plea via her doorbell camera. Juggling the demands of a full-time job and life as a parent can be difficult. Earlier this year, a KPMG Working Parents Survey of 1,000 U.S.-based professionals revealed over half (54 percent) of respondents felt their work schedules frequently clash with parenting duties. A significant proportion (43 percent) also admitted feeling guilty for either not spending enough time with their children or at work. More women (50 percent) reported experiencing this guilt than men (38 percent). Kelly, from Utah, doesn't necessarily feel guilty about being away from her son, Jack, when she is at work. Kelly has to work full-time to keep the lights on but makes sure to focus her energies on her son when she's not in the office. "I am a single mom, so I have to be very selfless with my time with my son when I am not working," she told Ring. That doesn't mean there aren't days when Jack finds ways to tug on Kelly's heart strings. One of those days was captured on the Ring doorbell camera outside their home. That footage was subsequently shared with Newsweek. "I got a notification on my Ring app, and opened the Live View feature to see my son, Jack, who is 6 years old and my mom, who was watching him while I was at work," Kelly said. "I used the Two-Way Talk feature to say hi, and he spoke back through the camera, which brought me to tears—it was so sweet and heartfelt." On the clip, Jack can be heard asking his mom: "Hi mom! Are you going to be home today?" "Yeah," Kelly responds. Jack says: "You better be really quick because I really miss you." Kelly replies: "Oh, bug, I miss you too! Okay I love you." Jack's plea to his mom was a bittersweet moment for Kelly and one that had her tearing up at work. "My son never wants me to leave for work, and constantly asks me when I'm coming home," Kelly said. "So when he told me to hurry up because he really missed me, that made me feel very happy." Though she was understandably sad not to be with her son, Jack's message was a sweet reminder that while Kelly may be far apart while at work, she's always in his thoughts. Kelly hopes those watching the video take away that positive message. "I wanted to share this to show how sweet your relationship with your children can be whether you're physically with them all day, or whether you are working," she said.
