Mom shares amusing video of how she is making the most of motherhood: 'They don't appreciate me'

Motherhood is a full-time job as it requires constant pampering of children while at the same time listening to their tantrums. That’s why there is a popular saying, “A mother’s love knows no bounds” and this mom’s relationship with her kids is the best example. Channeling all her frustration into comic relief, Shannele—who goes by @reelmomstuff on Instagram—shared a video of giving her kids life lessons in the most bizarre ways and the internet loves it.

In a viral video that has garnered over 12 million views, Shannele can be seen with her two young boys, who seem to be clueless as they learn more about the world through their mom's hilarious plot twists. The video starts with an overlay text that reads, "If you're not enjoying motherhood, it's probably because you're not trolling your kids enough" and that's what she does throughout the video. While pointing out at the manhole cover, she says to her boys, "I'm kind of hungry. Can you ask the 'Ninja Turtles' if they have any extra pizzas?" To everyone's delight, her kids ask "Ninja Turtles" about "free pizza."

Following this, Shannele gives her funniest advice to the kids as the background changes to a house kitchen. To bring an end to their childhood scuffle, the boys are supposed to ask each other, “Are you not entertained?” after every fight in the most dramatic way possible. At this point, the children copy their mother’s gig as she shows them how to do it, sparking a laughter riot! Then, it slowly transcends into the kids craving berries. While declining them the fruiting bodies, the mother said, “But if you eat too many berries, they send you to berry rehab, and they make you listen to berry while you're on repeat. Yeah. I've heard people say... It's too late. They're on their way.”

Then, the video cuts to the kids looking curiously at a roadside corner. The concerned mom tells them to get aside as she is going to show them a documentary about what’s underneath the street. Moreover, at one point, Shannele, who wants to make a video showing how funny she is, is feeling bored. She intriguingly tells the kids to ask her, “What are you going to do today?” When the little ones politely reiterate, the mom gives an uplifting message. “The same thing we do every day. Try to take over the world,” she says while expecting laughter in return. Instead, there is an awkward silence in the video, to which she responds, "They (kids) don't appreciate me."

Shannele comes up with her most iconic '90s reference when she talks about the famous game "The Oregon Trail." "Do you know when I was in elementary school, I would guide a bunch of families in a covered wagon across the Oregon Trail, just for everybody to get scarlet fever and die? Do you know how tiring that is on my soul?" asks the influencer as she asks the kids to go away and play with their toys. Then she says, "Did you know when you lose a tooth, you're supposed to stick it under your pillow and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson will give you money for it?" She concludes her video when her kids finally do the "energy" take she expects from them. People on the platform are loving her approach and share their thoughts in the comments.

I trolled too hard and now my nephew is convinced that penguins are kids who jumped off the couch and sent their legs into their tummy.” @moneywithkatie remarked, “My parents told me that when the ice cream truck was playing music, it meant they were out of ice cream.” @undead.soul assumed, “Most women are just alive, but you are living it.” @angierange1 realized, "It has just dawned on me that I can tell my child anything I want and she’ll believe it because she doesn’t know. This changes everything!"
