The wife of 2009 Xfinity Series Champion Kyle Busch took to Instagram to document her daily challenges as a mother, from handling temper tantrums to handling.

Employing a thick layer of satire, she created a hilarious reel with her daughter Lennix Busch from ‘me at the beginning of the day’ to ‘me at the end of the day.’

Samantha captioned the post with:

“Mamas- when the football hold comes out, we mean business, right?! [Laughing Emoji]”

What has grabbed particular attention is the “football hold”—a nursing position that involves holding your baby like a football under your arm. In the video, when Samantha transitions to this hold, you know she means business. It’s a metaphor that resonates with many mothers who understand that sometimes you must employ the “big guns” of parenting techniques to get through the day.
