Working Mom Hats

Mothers are primary breadwinners in four in ten US families, against 11 percent in 1960, according to Pew figures in a Grokker roundup, and the Center for American Progress counts 45 percent of mothers as breadwinners in 2023. Working mom is not a niche, and it comes with its own folklore. A Bright Horizons survey found that 69 percent of working moms say their responsibilities create a mental load, and 86 percent say they handle all family and household responsibilities. The jokes that follow are national knowledge: the conference call taken while changing a diaper, boss lady at work and boss baby at home, and the viral 2020 door memo that began "Mom is in a meeting." As Jane Sellman put it, the phrase "working mother" is redundant, so the badges here keep it short: WORKING MOM and WORKING MAMA, the two terms shoppers type. The sentence designs carry the humor straight: a calendar with its own calendar, business casual with crayon on it, a PTO balance spent on pinkeye, and lean in, then lie down. WIFE MOM BOSS already sells as a shirt phrase on Walmart, and it earns its place here as a badge. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own commute, or give one to the mom who works both jobs.
