'Seems like a great way to get ants': Babysitter's shock find under child's bed
A babysitter who decided to do a little cleaning during a recent job has been left shocked by what she discovered.
Although, most parents will have come across rubbish hauls similar to this one – particularly if they have tried to clean under a child's bed.
"Was babysitting a kid and decided to help clean their room...WHAT IS THIS?!" they asked on Reddit's 'Mildly Infuriating' thread.
They shared a photo of an epic pile of rubbish, including empty soft drink cans and water bottles, pieces of packaging foam, food packaging, dirty linens, food pieces, fluff, dust, clothing and a couple of device chargers.

"Looks like a hiding spot for evidence of a kid drinking and eating what they shouldn't be," one commenter said.
"That would be my son's room about six years ago. Thankfully, he's better with that now," another person wrote.

One Redditor shared a theory as to why this child had so much rubbish stuffed under their bed.

"Personal story, but I remember when I was 5, I had a very difficult time understanding how to organise and clean up, but I also recognised a clean room made my mom happy," they explained.
"So I started shoving stuff under the bed to get that reaction from her. I was really young and got overwhelmed on how to clean messes, so that was my solution."
Another said: "This hits home lmao... my room was basically like that until I was about 14."
"I don't know what you guys are on about this is just a teenagers room," said one Redditer.

"My room was at least this bad as a teenager and I'm a happy healthy adult with a clean house. Kids just can't be assed with boring stuff like cleaning so parents send them up to do it, kid kicks stuff under bed, room looks clean everyone's happy.
"You guys are pure diagnosing f--king mental conditions and bad parenting because a kid can't be a--ed tidying."
"It's a miracle, because amidst all of those loose soda cans is a pristinely white stuffed animal. Where are the Dr Pepper stains??" another said.
