Ah, kids—they seem to want everything we have. If you’ve ever snuck a snack into the pantry to escape your little ones, you know you’re not alone. We’ve all been there! What is it about these little energy zappers? Can’t we have a moment to ourselves, whether it’s enjoying an ice cream cone or savoring a piece of chocolate? In one relatable video, Jenna Parker, a mom of quadruplets, captures this struggle perfectly in just 34 seconds.
The video begins with Jenna explaining, “Dad is outside clearing the driveway, and I really need a treat to survive the evening.” What follows is a classic scene: “So I’m hiding in the pantry, indulging in my snack. Is that so wrong?” Hands up if you can relate!
Jenna continues, “They never leave you alone. They want everything that you have. Look—she’s right there.” Cue the adorable moment where her daughter’s chubby little fingers slide under the door. UGH—the cuteness! Then, her sweet voice chirps, “Hi!” and your heart melts. Of course, you end up sharing your licorice. What is it about kids being so irresistibly cute? They truly do want everything you possess.
