In a heartwarming and innovative parenting moment, a mother recently shared her clever hack on the popular Facebook page Pinoy Budget Recipes (with over 2 million followers) to encourage her son to shampoo his hair without the usual tears and resistance. The post quickly went viral, drawing laughter, admiration, and a flood of relatable comments from parents.
The mother revealed that her son was reluctant to use shampoo because of the fear of it stinging his eyes. However, his love for Marvel’s Hulk provided an opportunity for a creative solution. “Dahil favorite niya si Hulk, nagpagawa ako ng AI-generated na picture ni Hulk na nagsha-shampoo, prinint ko, at dinikit sa maliit na plastic bottle,” she wrote. To ensure safety, she filled the bottle with kid-friendly shampoo, assuring that it would not irritate his eyes.
She cleverly told her son, “Ito ang shampoo ni Hulk para maging Hulk ka rin!” The hack worked like magic, and her son now enjoys using the Hulk-themed shampoo daily. “Ayun, success! Ngayon, araw-araw na siyang nagsha-shampoo,” she added, followed by a laughing emoji.
Netizens react
The post struck a chord with many parents who understood the daily struggles of coaxing their children into proper hygiene. One commenter quipped, “Baka meron po kayong Spiderman na nagsha-shampoo at toothbrush,” while another joked, “Is he already turning green?” These lighthearted remarks reflected the humor and relatability of the situation.
One parent even shared their own childhood memory, saying, “Sakin dati hanger at tambo, ayun naligo na ako. Di naisip ng lola ko dati yan… Nice!” highlighting the evolution of parenting techniques over time.
Other comments celebrated the ingenuity, with one user stating, “100% use of brain,” and another writing, “Magulang ka na, magulang ka pa.”
Interestingly, the conversation extended beyond just the hack, as parents shared their own strategies to deal with reluctant kids. A commenter remarked, “Kanya-kanya talagang diskarte paano manggogoyo ng bata hahahaha.”
What makes this hack particularly fascinating is the mother’s use of technology. She leveraged AI to create the Hulk image, which added a personal touch to the strategy. One user praised the technological angle, saying, “AI done right makes better future.”
