This entertaining video highlights the challenges of feeding kids. Every parent knows that regardless of how delicious or carefully crafted our homemade meals are, if they’re not frozen chicken nuggets or mac and cheese from a box, our kids often treat them like trash. One father, known as “Jake” from the popular YouTube channel Family Fun TV, decided to leverage face-swapping technology to create a relatable and hilarious portrayal of a typical dinner scene with his two young daughters, who didn’t hold back in critiquing his cooking. Their comments? They referred to it as a “heaping pile of hot garbage.”
As Jake sets down a steaming plate of his culinary creation in front of his youngest daughter, Mia, she delivers a brutally honest remark that could easily reflect the unfiltered thoughts of any toddler at mealtime. “Wow, I was really hoping for a dinner that looked like a pile of hot garbage, so thank you, Dad!”
His older daughter, Lily, is slightly more diplomatic but still manages to throw shade after being denied dessert as an appetizer to the “hot garbage.” She goes as far as calling her dad a “garbage human.” And the roast just keeps coming!
- “Hey Dad, do you even know how to cook, or do you just know how to throw trash in the oven?”
- “Knock-knock, Daddy. It’s the food police! They’re here because you tried to poison us with this dinner.”
- “This dinner is like if a bucket of vomit could somehow commit a hate crime.”
- “It smells like a burning tire fire.”
- “It’s like if the Devil tooted, set it on fire, whispered a curse, and then dumped it all on this plate.”
- “I’m a Yelp reviewer, and let me tell you, this has zero stars!”
All the while, the poor dad desperately insists that it’s not as bad as they say. The humor is relatable, reminding many parents of the countless times they’ve prepared “kid-friendly” meals or experimented with Pinterest recipes, only to have their little ones turn up their noses.
I experienced my own share of kitchen chaos with my first child. I meticulously prepared homemade baby food, from avocados to kale, trying to prevent the dreaded picky eater phase. Now, my toddler survives on the same staples as every other kid: chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, M&Ms, and the occasional piece of fruit or veggie that I can sneak in. If it’s anything outside of that, it might as well be “hot garbage.”
This dad embodies the universal struggle of parents everywhere at dinnertime. Until our kids develop more sophisticated tastes, we’re all just trying to survive the mealtime madness!
