In a hilariously relatable moment, a video has gone viral that captures the struggle every parent knows all too well: the stealthy exit from a nursery to avoid waking a peacefully sleeping baby. We’ve all been there, and that’s what makes it so amusing!
Meet Jamie and Alex Reed
Meet Jamie and Alex Reed from Cape Town, South Africa. While hosting friends for dinner, Jamie found herself trying to get their 15-month-old son, Max, to sleep. But Max had other plans, as Jamie recounted to a local news outlet. “With guests around, he sensed the noise and kept fussing, wanting out of his crib. Every time I tried to sneak out of the room, he would pop up and whine.”
In a moment of sheer desperation, Jamie resorted to some impressive stealth tactics. Alex joked, “Having cameras in the house is great for capturing these moments! Watching Jamie try to escape after putting Max down is priceless. Sometimes, you just have to get creative with your exit strategy! By the way, the military might want to recruit her for their training on stealth movements!”
The Great Escape
Jamie described the scene, saying, “I sat on the floor next to the crib so he could see me, and soon he just lay there with his eyes slightly open. I slowly laid back and noticed he didn’t react. I managed to slither away, and he remained still. I was too anxious to peek back in and see if he noticed!”
Honestly, who can blame her? Once you’ve successfully pulled off a daring escape, the last thing you want to do is risk detection. This is a universal truth for parents. I learned this with my youngest, who required a series of gentle pats before finally letting me go. Once free, it was my time to unwind. It’s simultaneously one of the most nerve-wracking and fulfilling moments of parenting.
Going Viral
Alex shared the funny video with their friends and later posted it on social media, where it quickly gained traction. This scene strikes a chord with parents everywhere. Although Alex is a former gymnast, Jamie’s friends playfully suggested she might have some hidden talent too, given her impressive getaway from Max’s room. But all parents know that mastering these escape tactics is just part of the job. Much like animals evolve to evade predators, parents adapt their strategies to sneak away undetected.
Because nothing is more crucial than those precious hours of evening time. As this video hilariously illustrates, parents will go to great lengths to make it happen.
