Dylan Dreyer is showcasing how much she's willing to go through for her children—but don't try this at home, folks!

On June 6, the meteorologist took to Instagram with a single blurry snapshot of herself going the extra mile to make her son Rusty smile—by holding a baseball in her hand, acting as the tee for him to hit it off of.

Though the toddler's bat looked to be of the plastic variety (and is likely the only kind he can use at just one year old), according to her caption's sentiment, Dreyer apparently was still not without pain after "practice" with the little one.

"Being the 'tee' in tee ball hurts. Hurts bad," she comically wrote alongside the upload.

Fellow parents jumped into the comment section to let her know she wasn't alone, expressing that they, too, have felt the pain that comes with acting as a human "tee."

"Been there - and yes it hurts," one follower agreed, as another concurred: "Tru dat [sic]!"

Someone else questioned, "WHY? WHY would you do that to yourself????? OUCH!!" before rationalizing, "But he’s so cute! 🧢⚾️"

"Oof! But little guy looks super happy, so there's that! 🥰" another noticed, while a fifth admitted the tot's "smile makes everything feel better."

Another Instagrammer even provided a pro tip, suggesting, "Parenting hack: attach ball to a small fishing pole. Dangle, it gets hit & you reel in! 🎣 ⚾️"

The broadcaster is no newcomer to mom life, often sharing peeks into personal moments with her kids as a mama of three. In addition to Rusty, Dreyer also shares sons Oliver, 3, and Calvin, 6, with husband Brian Fichera.

"I wish I had started having kids sooner, because I really love everything about kids," she told HELLO! in March. "I never thought I would love it as much as I do. Being a mom is the best. I love fostering their ideas; I also somehow found more patience after becoming a mom."

The number three also holds a special place in both Dylan and Brian's hearts, as she explained: "When we decided to have children, I used to always want three. I grew up with two brothers, my husband is one of three. Three just feels right for us now."
