Parents are getting candid about the realities of having children after a mom challenged them to share things that make it obvious that they have kids at home.
TikTok user @mommacusses kicked off the hilarious challenge last week by posting a video tour of her home to show how she purposefully keeps anything that is breakable far out of her kids’ reach.
‘Tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids,’ she said in the clip. ‘For me, it’s that the decorations get far less breakable the further down the house you look.’

The mom then panned the camera from the top of her ceiling down to the floor before turning it towards her Christmas tree,
‘Even the Christmas decorations start breakable up high but get more and more tamper-proof the further down you go,’ she added.
In the caption, she asked, ‘What makes it clear you’re a parent just by looks?’ and other parents obliged by making videos with her audio and their own footage.
