Unsure if you should take another month of unpaid maternity leave? Conflicted about leaving work early to make your daughter's soccer game? Then just let the brand-new Work and Family Scale be your guide.

This hilarious parody commercial proves that bathroom scales don't need to just make women feel bad about their weight – this one also measures how much you're neglecting your kids and your career.

Watch the video to see how it works. Warning: the scale is not for women thinking about getting pregnant (it's far too depressing) or for men ("See your kid today? Congrats, you're great dad! You deserve a beer.").

Go ahead, working moms, step right up and just try and have it all.
