Husband's Ode to Stay-at-Home Wife Captures Heart of Internet

— -- One man's online ode to his stay-at-home wife, the mother of his two boys, has the women of the internet swooning.

Scott Douglas wrote this note to his wife, Kate, after what she called "a hard day" with her two boys. Since then, it has been shared more than 11,000 times.

The Newcastle, Australia, mom became "very emotional" when she saw the post, she told ABC News.

"I was in a room full of mums when I read it; who were also all in tears,” she added. “It was just what I needed to hear at that moment."

Since the post went viral, Kate Douglas said, she has been surprised by "mums who say that they have never felt appreciated by their other half."

The comments on the post are overwhelmingly positive. "Wow! You have a king! So nice to know that a man actually realizes what we do all day! We NEVER clock off! He is a keeper," Lisa Compagne wrote.

"This bloke is an incredible role model for his sons,” Pauline Matejczuk wrote. “They can't fail with his attitude.”

Scott Douglas is "surprised" by the reaction to his tribute, he told ABC News.

"I think it has resonated so well because any type of mother, whether working or stay-at-home put so much pressure on themselves to make sure the household stays in order and the kids have everything they need,” he said.

“Then when a bad day comes along they question themselves. I think with what I wrote has let them know they are not alone by having those days but also there are positives in those days, and to be appreciated for the bad days is very rewarding for them too."
