Fulwiler shared the video on Instagram this week, as back out on tour families are beginning their summer travel.
She said she received an overwhelming response to the video, with moms telling her they were in tears as they watched it.
\"I think a lot of women feel like nobody has their back on this, that even other parents or whoever would expect them to have their kids behave absolutely perfectly if they take them on a plane but they probably shouldn't take them on a plane at all,\" said Fulwiler. \"I think they see all the comments [on the post] and they're like, 'I'm not alone.'\"
One commenter wrote on Fulwiler's post, \"I have so been there with the screaming toddler in the car seat as the plane is landing. Hang in there mom's. They're only little for such a brief time. Those of us who have been there know what you're going through.\"
\"I get tired of the stink eye people give me when I have to take a fussy baby out of mass,\" wrote a second commenter. \"Do they expect families to just stay away from the public until their kids are 18?\"
Fulwiler said she believes that changing the norm on something like welcoming kids on a plane and supporting moms will change the trajectories of women's lives.
\"In order for women who have kids to have real empowerment and to have real choices in their careers and their lives, we need a society that is more accepting of having kids in public,\" she said. \"You can have a really fun career that you're passionate about, and you can also have a lot of kids if that's the right thing for you, but it really does take us having a society that welcomes things like bringing a toddler to a business meeting if your child care falls through, and bringing babies on planes.\"
As a touring comic, Fulwiler has incorporated her children into her stand-up career, bringing them on tour dates with her and teaching them industry skills, like doing sound checks before shows.
\"People ask all the time, 'How on Earth can you do a career as a stand-up comedian if you're a mom,' and one of the ways I've made it work is I've said I refuse to accept this limit and I just bring my kids with me,\" she said. \"The theaters I went to at my last comedy tour, they did not expect the headliner to have kids there, but I just basically said, 'I'd have to drop out of comedy if I didn't bring my kids with me, so I just need this to be welcoming environment for children.'\"
