While many moms dream of perfectly organized homes that are super elegant, that's just not often the case. One mom took to TikTok and introduced audiences to her children's tidy play area with true showmanship. However, things were not what they seemed as the camera panned further in. Let's just say, it was a bit of a mess.
Mom's Tour Of Her Spotless Home Ends With The Cluttered Truth
This mom make things look pretty good at the beginning.
TikTok user @peruxican begins the video by showing viewers her kid's toy trunk and then giving some seemingly expert advice. She explains, "Step one: I only buy enough toys that will fit in that basket." It all sounds so practical and refined.
Things still look amazing when she shows the next area.
Viewers are taken to a cute little table with art books put in the perfect spots and carefully organized coloring utensils. She explains, "Step two: they are allowed to have a work station, but everything has to stay here." Basically, she makes people feel like she has the cleanest children that are the epitome of tidiness.
Suddenly, the tides change.
All of a sudden, this mom reveals the true mayhem of her home. All the bells and whistles are out the door as she shows everyone the realistic truth of being a mom with two young children.
It's pretty hilarious.
Just as the camera pans over to the war zone of toys, this mom speaks in a whimsical voice, saying, "And just like that, there’s no clutter! Follow for more tips!” Simultaneously, the camera starts shaking to reflex the true chaos.
The comments are the best.

While TikTok has become famous for breaking barriers, it also sometimes perpetuates unrealistic expectations and standards for so many people. TikTok videos only show what's in front of the camera, when most moms have so many things to handle that should be visible.

It would seem that many parents feel inadequate about the cleanliness of their homes and truly resonate with this video. The truth for many is that children make messes all day every day, and it's okay for the house to get messy.
There's even a comment response video.
One commenter certainly had an entertaining idea. To make the situation even more humorously catastrophic, this mom could have faked a little spill. With that said, maybe it was best for her not to tempt fate.
People loved the second version of the video too.
The second vide has slightly more shaking when she reveals the toy hurricane and people love it. Between the splash of reality with some drops of humor, this TikTok video definitely is a win.
