Mom Moves Son into College Fraternity House and Her Reaction Goes Viral: 'My Biggest Challenge Yet'

"Any college parent who has witnessed beer cans strewn on the lawn of a fraternity house has to know that stepping inside is not for the faint of heart. Krista Brick learned this when she moved her college sophomore son in recently, and her horrified reaction was captured in a viral video. The video, taken by daughter Micaela, shows Krista tentatively peeking inside the frat house front door, where she says she sees "a chicken and DJ equipment but no furniture," before describing to the camera: this is "something that no HomeGoods could prepare you for." She perfectly captioned the video: "enjoy my mom's progressive crash out as she moved my brother into his frat house.""

"As she begins the tour, Krista encounters the kitchen, where she announces that she is "trying not to cry" as she walks by a clutter of unwashed dishes, pots and pans in the sink. "Is that rice or bugs?" she exclaimed, zooming in on the kitchen walls. Though she thought that the kitchen was "a mom's nightmare," her son thought otherwise. Walking around the house, Krista finds food trash and empty beer cans on the floor, along with stains that she assumed was soap."

"In the end, the camera pans to two dish towels neatly hanging on the kitchen oven handle, with Krista quipping: "Nothing gives a mom more hope than bringing HomeGoods kitchen towels with footballs on them." The video, which has amassed over 1.3 million views, was a relatable experience to many viewers. "Those towels make it a frat HOME." "Find her a sorority house to walk through to feel better asap." "Truly nothing more jarring than seeing a frat house in the daylight.""
