“No more noodles!” A South African dad is fed up with everyone in his family constantly eating noodles, so he has demanded that no more noodles be bought when they go grocery shopping over the weekend.
With over two million views, the clip of the family meeting called by the dad has gone viral on TikTok.
The Mzansi’s Greatest Family, who have over a million followers, are well known for sharing funny videos.
In this instance, the dad shares his frustration about how many noodles everyone in the family eats and the fact that, because of the noodles, they are no longer sitting down as a family to have meals together.
What bugs him even more is that no one, including the mom, cooks anymore.
After the children protest about this new rule, he admits that he also likes noodles, but remains adamant that he no longer wants them in the house.
He points out that since the children simply make the noodles and eat them in their rooms, they no longer sit down and eat as a family.
While he doesn’t have a problem with noodles being an in-between meal, he no longer wants them served for dinner.
Even though he directs the request for more home-cooked meals to the whole family, he specifically turns to his wife, saying, “Sometimes, my love, you don’t cook.”
The family, clearly up in arms about this decision, are told to speak to him one-on-one to discuss the matter further as he concludes the family meeting.
Followers of the popular TikTok family were impressed with the father’s leadership skills, while others felt the meeting was subtly directed at the mom for not cooking as much as he would like her to.
“The subject of the meeting was the mom, the kids were there for his protection,” said one viewer.
Another wrote: “This was a strategy to address 'my love', so everyone had to get involved.”
Noodles have become a winning dish for many, especially when it comes to little ones.
They are quick and easy to make, and of course, there’s the slurping that kids adore.
