Mum shifts teenage son's bed and is astonished by what she finds beneath it

It is no secret to parents that having children can sometimes be quite messy.

Some families may argue that the worst time is when children are tots, as they may chuck food, decide to draw on those creamy white walls with crayons - or even your favourite lipstick - and they are constantly smeared head to toe in some form of dirt.

However, it's fair to say that as they get older and become teenagers, things can go downhill.

One mum who is likely to vouch for this is Amanda Nighbert from Kentucky in the US, reports The Mirror.

The parent and qualified dietician recently went viral on social media after sharing her disbelief over the mess hidden down the side of her teenage son's bed.

Posting on TikTok under the name @amandanighbertrd, Amanda shared a clip of what she found when she moved her son's bed away from the wall, as they rearranged his room.

She captioned the video, writing: "When is the last time you cleaned under your teenager's bed?!!"

In the clip, her jaw drops open as she uncovers the mess which stretches the length of the double bed.

On the floor are masses of empty crisp packets and sweet wrappers, used paper plates, carrier bags, broken pens and empty drink bottles.

A couple of different family members come and check out the mess and all look equally as shocked.

The end of the video shows her son cleaning up down the side of the bed, before hoovering away all evidence that it ever existed.

The mum's video has since been viewed over 17 million times and garnered more than one million likes.

Thousands of people also commented on the post to share their thoughts.

One person said: "Honestly thank goodness you don't have bugs or something else from that."

Another replied: "OMG!"

A third wrote: "My mom would have literally killed me if my room was like that."

While someone else admitted: "Still not as bad as I was thinking it would be."

A different user added: "This is AWFUL!"
