Rep. Ann Wagner is comparing the battle in Congress over repealing ObamaCare to getting through bathtime with the kids.

“This has been one of those days,” the Missouri Republican said with a smile while being honored Wednesday by the right-leaning Independent Women’s Forum at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington.

“How many of you have children, or have raised them?” Wagner, a deputy whip who’s met with President Trump regarding healthcare reform multiple times, asked the largely female crowd.

“I’m a mom — I have three,” she continued.

“There’s something that happens to them around four o’clock, you know, when you don’t think we’re going to make it, [that] we’re going to all live through bathtime,” Wagner, 54, said to laughs from the crowd.

“And you know what? We are. And we’re getting there,” she added.

Wagner credited herself and other GOP House members present, including Reps.

Vice President Pence was originally scheduled to attend the event to accept the nonprofit's inaugural "Working for Women" award, recognizing him as "an individual who values free markets, works to create a more dynamic and innovative work world, and celebrates contributions women make to society." Pence was unable to attend the reception "due to current events and scheduling," according to the group.

The Independent Women's Forum said it was working with the vice president's office to present the award to him at another time.
