This Mom Sees Your 'I Quit' Video And Raises You A Work-At-Home Parody

Mom's Hilarious 'I Quit' Video Parody

Marina Shifrin's job was costing her time, energy and relationships. So she quit -- and staged an "interpretive dance" video to Kanye West's "Gone" which has taken the Internet by storm.

Brenna Jennings is a work-at-home mom who is similarly tired of living in a trashed house with an unmade bed and a bathroom that's "a petri dish." (Apparently it's been like a frat party at her place for years.) So she wants everyone to know: she's done too. Sort of.

"When I saw Marina's video the first thing I thought was that she reminded me of younger me," Jennings, who blogs at Suburban Snapshots and on HuffPost, told us via e-mail. "And I wished I'd had the smarts and moves to quit my first horrible soul-sucking job the way she did (though back then we still faxed things, so it may not have been possible)."

As she says on YouTube: "More years, less moves, same message."

Always be sure to let everyone know if your son is playing with plastic bowls on, near or in the oven! We went to heat up the oven for dinner and were shocked when smoke filled the entire house. And what a refreshing smell...I love the smell of burnt plastic bowls in the morning.Submitted by: Ted (credit:SMKR)

I knew he was quiet for too long. Apparently I didn't shut the door all the way and he wanted to help me bake. Somewhere under all that flour is a 4ft long firetruck puzzle -- that tub was full of flour.Submitted by: Laura (credit:SMKR)
