A self-described ‘lazy stay-at-home mom’ has sparked controversy after she shared a series of unfiltered, realistic parenting videos, one of which shows her cleaning her filthy bedroom – filled with dirty nappies and food stuck to the floor.
Amanda Rose, mother of two, 25, shared a TikTok the gigantic cleaning of his “depression chamber”, which had not been completely cleaned for two months.
In the clip, she showed the full extent of the dirty bedroom, with dirty nappies on the floor and a bed that hadn’t been taken apart in weeks.
“I call my bedroom a depression room because it reminds me of a cave,” Amanda said in the video, which has been viewed more than 3.6 million times.
Mom-of-two Amanda hadn’t properly cleaned her room for two months, so she decided to film the mammoth tidying it up for a TikTok video.
Amanda started by throwing all the trash on her dresser and on the floor, saying things were literally sticking to her feet.
Amanda, known for her “Lazy Stay At Home Mom” videos, says she often “eats and sleeps” in the room – which is why she collected so much dirt and trash.
“(I) spend the majority of my time in this room,” the mum, who shares two daughters aged six and one with her husband, told viewers.
Amanda’s epic cleanup began by tossing all the trash strewn across the dresser, admitting it was “literally stuck” to the surface and there was “shit sticking to her feet.”
“There were candy and chips on the floor, and diapers on the floor,” the vlogger mom continued. “All those clothes (on the floor) were clean but now dirty because they were on the floor too long.”
After two months of increasing trash and piles of clothes, Amanda decided to clean her room, starting her cleaning marathon by opening the blinds to let in some sunlight.
“The very first thing I did was clear out my dresser and then I worked on my trash can area,” she said in voiceover. “I hate to say it, but my trash corner is the worst place in the whole room.”
Her next task was to wash her bedding, take it all the way down to the mattress, and wash everything.
“I think the last time I scratched my bed was maybe two months ago,” the stay-at-home mom admitted.
Amanda is known for her “Lazy Stay At Home Mom” videos, in which she takes her subscribers through various cooking and cleaning tasks around her home.
Cleaning her bedroom was a huge task for the 25-year-old, who said she often ‘eats and sleeps’ in the ‘cave-like’ room – hence why it was so dirty.
Her next task was to strip the bed and wash the bedding — something else Amanda noted she hadn’t done in “maybe two months.”
After cleaning her room, Amanda then tackled her bathroom, which she admitted hadn’t been cleaned since she last did her makeup “two days ago. weeks”.
Her transformation left people appalled, praising her down-to-earth take on parenthood and being a stay-at-home mom.
The mother-of-two’s followers thanked her for sharing authentic parenting videos
The video has been viewed more than 3.7 million times since it was posted on August 24, with thousands of users commenting on the clip. Many thanked the mom for her genuine posts
While many users cheered on the mum, some were in disbelief about the state of her home.
Once the floor was clean, Amanda started vacuuming – another task she had been neglecting for “a few weeks”.
It didn’t stop at the bedroom, the young mum then moved on to it, which she said was “just as bad” as her bedroom.
“To make matters worse, I haven’t done my makeup in two weeks,” she joked as she sorted through bottles of makeup and products on the bathroom counter.
“So this whole makeup mess sat there for two weeks.”
“My worst habit is picking things up and not putting them back,” Amanda admitted.
After clearing the counter, she then swept up and took out the trash, commenting that “surprisingly” it didn’t take her as long as she thought.
The video garnered over 2,000 comments and 340,000 likes, with many praising the mum for her realistic take on parenthood.
“Thank you for being so raw and real,” wrote one TikTok user. “It’s nice to see that instead of spotless, clean homes.”
‘Thank you Amanda, you make me feel seen!!!! It’s so rewarding to see someone so approachable, not because he’s aesthetic!!!’ gushed another.
“Girl, this cleansing session after coming out of a bout of depression is so therapeutic!” » » a user intervened. “I just walked through it myself. Glad to see someone normalizing this!’
Others were disgusted by the mother’s house, wondering why she hadn’t bothered to clean it sooner.
“Is your husband okay with this disgusting mess?” How do you eat where you sleep? It’s so disgusting,” said a dismayed TikToker.
“I could never raise kids, sleep, eat or clean myself in a house like this,” another said.
“If you think that’s normal, you’re disgusting.” someone else wrote.
Amanda also posted videos of herself cleaning her car and organizing her pantry, earning praise from her followers who were inspired to start their own cleaning and organizing journeys.
“I love how this space on TikTok also gives you the motivation to clean up little by little,” one user praised.
