Wyatt Russell and Meredith Hagner may be loving and doting parents to their two-year-old, Buddy Prine Russell, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with its dose of insanity every once in a while.

Meredith, 36, an actress like her 37-year-old husband, shared a new video looking back on the hassle of keeping up with a toddler, and it honestly couldn't be more relatable.

Check out the clip below as the mom-of-one provides her own hysterical take on being a mom and "doing it all"...

Meredith captioned the clip: "Just a reminder that motherhood is so easy and the newborn stage is definitely a perfect time for hair extensions (flashback to the early days with my now 2 year old)."

She even added a comment that captured one of her conversations with her son, which panned out: "'BIG HIT!' 'Buddy, it's been your 843rd big hit of the night…let's shoot for a hit that sends you to bed…yeah?' 'No BIG HIT!!!' '…Ok big hit it is!'"

"My mom was the same way," he added of mom Goldie Hawn. "There was an appreciation: 'You've been afforded the opportunity to have all these great things, don't blow it.'

"It wasn't just pressure to not blow it, it was, 'As a human being, understand the position you're in and appreciate these things.' That's what my parents drilled into us as kids, a true appreciation of what you have.

"Also, I don't get things from my parents. When I stopped playing hockey and started acting, the last person I was going to ask for help was my dad. He's the king of being like, 'I don't know. It's good work if you can get it. Good luck.'"
