A Portsmouth mother's YouTube video has gone viral.
Brenna Jennings' "I Quit" video is a parody of the viral video by Marina Shifrin, a 25-year-old writer who quit her Taiwanese animation job over the weekend. Shifrin's video gained international media attention.
Jennings video, in which she jokingly says she's quitting her job and family, has been viewed more than 200,000 times since she posted it Monday.
Jennings is a website manager who works from home. She's married and has a daughter.
She said she loved Shifrin's video.
"She reminded me a little bit of myself," Jennings said.
Jennings filmed her video in about an hour. It shows her jamming out around the house, lamenting her never-made bed, "petri dish" of a bathroom, and "fresh pink" mess in her daughter's room.
She said she never expected the video to gain as much attention as it has. It was even mentioned on "Good Morning America."
As for her daughter?
"She's been telling everyone, 'Mommy wrecked my room.'"
