In a humorous Instagram Reel, mom Nicki Marie illustrates a moment of parenting frustration when her daughter asked for glue to make slime while she was shoveling snow. She used the opportunity to teach her daughter the importance of timing and reading situations before making requests. The viral video resonated with viewers, reinforcing that young children often lack social awareness and need guidance on appropriate communication, especially when their parents are busy or stressed.
"I'm going to tell you what's very wrong with that picture... I'm out here sweating, shoveling the snow, and you're asking me, could we go to the store for glue to make slime?"
"You can't ask a struggling woman to go to the store and get glue... Wait till I'm calm, wait till I'm happy."
"Failure to read the room can turn a normal request into one with a tinge of a**hole-ry."
"We forget kids literally don't have social skills until we teach them."
