“Thank you for dubbing me ’mom of the year’. Please believe me when I tell you I can only be so with the dad sitting next to me.”

I work as a Writer at BuzzFeed, creating and curating quizzes, listicles, and articles that cover everything from pop culture chaos to food trends I immediately want to try and fashion moments I can’t stop talking about.

As for the commentators' jokes about ketchup and what sounded like a possible argument between the couple, Erika had another explanation. "There was no argument about ketchup," she wrote. "He didn't tell me I forgot anything." She also clarified that when she turned to the woman sitting beside her, she was talking about their daughter and not, as some viewers apparently assumed, threatening to hit her husband.

Erika also pushed back against the idea that she was somehow carrying the entire weight of parenting by herself. She explained that she and Ramses both took care of their children, from changing diapers and attending appointments to handling bedtime, reading, and playtime. "Our marriage has room for either of us to need help," she wrote. "That evening, I chose to take care of him."

As for everyone who had called her "mom of the year," Erika said she appreciated the sentiment, but wanted people to understand that being praised as a super mom didn't mean she was living in a marriage where she had to do everything alone. "You can appreciate what I was doing that night without assuming I have to do everything alone," she wrote. "Supporting me also means listening when I tell you about my own life."
