Father is supposed to put the child to bed: When mom looks into the nursery, her jaw drops

Maryland (USA) - The "bedtime routine" in the evening is a particular challenge for many parents. Shanice Jones and her husband are no different when it comes to putting their son Noah to bed. The family from Maryland often have quite a fuss on their hands. Recently, it was dad's turn again. When it suddenly became suspiciously quiet in the children's room, Shanice looked curiously. Then her jaw dropped.

This week, she documented her "find" in a TikTok video (see below). In the clip, the mother goes into the nursery with the camera rolling.

There, instead of Noah, her husband is lying in the crib - sleeping like a baby. At least the little boy is also asleep. However, he is lying on the armchair next to his bed.

So her two boys had thoroughly messed up again. But at least they slept now.

In an interview with Newsweek this week, Shanice chatted about her strange video and revealed why her husband had messed it up so badly this time.

"Bedtime is definitely difficult. It's a challenge having a toddler, especially since he has no siblings," Shanice told US magazine.

"As soon as it's bedtime, he's magically thirsty and always wants to play with his toys," the mother added. At first it looked as though everything was going smoothly.

Dad was in charge - and was initially quite persuasive. "He gave him his evening bath, brushed his teeth and put on his pyjamas," explained Shanice. But shortly afterwards, her husband lost his strength.

He told her that "he was so exhausted and our son didn't want to lie in his bed, so he lay there instead."

At least her husband had achieved the main goal in this unconventional way - and everyone could finally go to sleep.
