Mothers defend relatable Usha Vance for almost losing her temper with her son during the inauguration

Usha Vance has been branded 'extremely relatable' after she was seen being pushed to her last nerve by her son at Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday.

The lawyer, 39, shares three children with the 40-year-old vice president – sons Ewan Blaine, seven, and Vivek, four, as well as daughter Mirabel Rose, three.

The family made multiple appearances during the day of the swearing in, with their little ones consistently stealing the show.

But one moment in particular left spectators rallying around Usha – and that was when her eldest, Ewan, appeared restless and started stroking his parents' heads.

At first it seemed as though Usha was prepared to overlook Ewan's restlessness when he brushed his mom's hair the first time.

But when he did it for a second time, she appeared to give her son a stern talking to before turning her attention back to the service and smiling. 

After witnessing the moment, viewers at home decided Usha was a breath of fresh air.

Taking to X, one said: 'Usha Vance trying to wrangle her three year old as her husband is being sworn in as VP is EXTREMELY RELATABLE.'

Another commented: 'The cutest... and most real. Gosh, I love Usha already.

'The way she stops his hand, looks with those mother eyes, and says: Okayyy. (STOP.) Lol. And the other little one between Trump and Vance as they're just chatting away. Golden.'

A third added: 'As a parent of four young kids, watching the Vance kids is very relatable. They're great.'

'Sympathizing deeply with @JDVance and Usha trying to wrangle their kids during this parade,' another wrote. 'Most relatable thing I've seen from a politician in my lifetime.'

A fifth posted: 'Vice President JD Vance, his wife Usha, and their kids, are the most relatable Second Family America has had in my lifetime.'

'Usha Vance is every mom, losing her patience, but aware of eyes watching,' said another.

The Vance kids were first seen on Monday arriving in style to their father's swearing in at the United States Capitol Rotunda alongside Vance's mother, Beverly Aikins. 

Ewan and Vivek wore matching blue suits for the grand occasion.

While Vance was being sworn in, Usha stood beside him, carrying Mirabel in her arms.

In an adorable moment, the youngster stuck her thumb in her mouth as her dad was taking the oath.

Her fingers were also covered in Band-Aids, which many social media users agreed was 'so sweet'.

At age 40, Vance will be the youngest vice president since the 40-year-old Richard Nixon entered office in 1953.

Following Monday's inauguration, the Vances will assume residency on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory, a luxury 33-room home with a wraparound porch, grand staircases and elegant turrets.

Usha has revealed that while her husband is serving the country as vice president, her primary focus will be on her family and young children.

'Giving them a stable, normal, and happy life and upbringing is the most important thing to us,' she told Fox and Friends in a rare interview in July, saying it would be a priority to 'let them have their lives as children and let them spend lots of time with their father.'

Vance enjoys baking with his children, as he celebrated the Christmas holiday sharing video of him making biscuits with his daughter Maribel.

'I feel like biscuit-making is a lost art and I think that every American family should have a biscuit on their table during Christmas dinner,' the then vice president-elect commented.

During the presidential campaign, Vance told a story of baking an Oreo cheesecake with his son Vivek.

'I'm a big baker,' he admitted to podcaster Joe Rogan.
