Smriti Irani on motherhood's bittersweet realities leaves Internet emotional

Smriti Irani is a famous woman from India who used to be on television and later worked in the government.

She went to a big meeting in Mumbai called the Mom Power Conference to talk about being a mom.

She said moms work very hard, feeding their kids, helping with homework, and finishing their own office work too.

She said many moms do not even remember those busy years because they were always working.

She explained that moms raise their kids to be strong and independent, but that means the kids need their moms less over time.

She said this is the most heartbreaking part, because moms spend half their lives raising children and then may be forgotten.

What she said made many people on the internet feel emotional.

A businessman named Anand Mahindra wrote that he took care of his own mother until she died and still gets strength from her memory.

Many parents said her words were honest and true.

Her speech made a lot of people cry, and they thanked her for saying it.
