Mama Squirrel Goes Viral For Aggressively Shoving Her Baby In The House

A mother's love is often described as one of the most powerful and unconditional forms of love that exists, and that's true not just for humans but for animals as well!

It is a bond that is forged through the nurturing and care that a mother provides, but sometimes, that care can look a little bit gruff as well.

A mama squirrel recently showed her determination and care for her baby in a hilarious and relatable way. A video has gone viral of the squirrel pushing her baby into a hole in a tree and parents everywhere can sympathize with the effort she's displaying.

Reddit user u/arielTheHumanOne posted the video in the community r/aww with the caption: "Lulu the squirrel carrying then shoving one of her babies in their new home."

The mother really puts a lot of effort into getting her baby through the door, but she's persistent!

In the end, she succeeds and follows her baby through the hole and into the tree.

"Parenting, amiright?" one person wrote. "Every morning getting the kids in the car is like this haha," another person added. "Yeah this video sums up parenthood perfectly," another person chimed in.

Check out the hilarious video below:
