Mom Looks Underneath Teenage Son’s Bed And Makes Revolting Discovery

Aug 04, 2021

Many parents would argue that toddlers are the messiest age group when it comes to children. However, one mom of a teenage boy has proof that teenagers can be just as bad. In a video posted on TikTok by dietician Amanda Nighbert, the mom moves her son’s bed to find something horrible lurking underneath.

The video was posted with the caption: "When is the last time you cleaned under your teenager's bed?!!" and it has gone viral on TikTok. Nighbert’s username on the short-form video platform is @amandanighbertrd and she wrote on the screen in the video, “Pulled my teenage son’s bed away from the wall and found this.” Then she revealed a monstrous pile of garbage from snacks and candy wrappers between the bed and the wall. 

It seems Nighbert’s son was sneaking some treats while she wasn’t looking and hiding the evidence underneath his bed where she wouldn’t find it. In the video, you can see Nighbert’s shocked expression when she first finds the trash, and her daughter’s as well. At the end of the footage her son is seen vacuuming up the remnants of the mess and hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson.

The video has been viewed millions of times and has garnered quite the reaction from TikTok users. Most people agreed that the find is horrible and shocking, while some others felt this is normal behavior for a teenage boy. You will have to watch the video and decide for yourself.  Keep reading to see more of the reactions from viewers.

In the video, which has been viewed 17.5 million times, you can see exactly where the teenage boy hid all of the wrappers from his midnight snacks. There is quite a variety of trash in the pile, including soda bottles, bags of chips, lollipops, chocolates, cookies, and gummies. One person left a funny comment on the video, writing, “My mom would have buried me in that trash.”

Meanwhile, other parents agreed that the find was “disgusting”, but they too could relate to the mother’s find. “I am so pleased to see it’s not just my boys that do this even after being constantly told not to eat in their rooms,” another person wrote. Part of the appeal of videos like this is how relatable it is to be a parent with a messy kid. 

Some other viewers did not feel that the pile of garbage was that big of a deal. In fact, they said that trash hoarding was typical behavior for someone who is Nighbert’s son’s age. “This is pretty normal for a teen, especially under a bed. Stuff gets pushed there and forgotten,” wrote one person. 

Another mother shared Nighbert’s struggle, she wrote, “That’s totally my son.” This prompted Nighbert to respond to the comment saying she “feels better” about the find after knowing she is not alone. Nighbert’s son is definitely not the first or last teenager to leave a horrible mess for his mother to find. The best we can all do is laugh at the situation and continue to set a good example.
