Another comment said, "It’s so hurtful when people say this. I’m child-free not by choice so being told I have no purpose because I don't have a child is so hurtful."
While another mother wrote, "I have a kid and everything you mentioned I still do."

The sobriety advocate posted a follow-up video two days ago, stating, "Moms are incredible, you guys are the heroes of the universe. Moms can have it all so of course, I know you can get your nails done and go shopping and do all that stuff with kids."
"I do have more purpose than shopping and getting my nails done. I work in the addiction treatment field, I try and help as many people as I can, I've probably treated a lot of people’s kids," she said.
