A mother’s hilarious account of her seven-year-old daughter getting stuck in a window frame has struck a chord with many parents. With the summer break just beginning, parents like Ms. Mai are already feeling frazzled by their children’s mischievous antics.
Ms. Mai, a mother of four from Thanh Hoa, has her hands full with a 13-year-old son and a lively seven-year-old daughter. She had planned to send her two youngest children to their grandparents for the summer, but an unexpected incident unfolded before she could do so.

“On June 1st, after lunch, I asked the two children to go upstairs to their room for a nap. Instead of sleeping, they started playing a game that involved climbing out of the window,” Ms. Mai recounted.
The window was about a meter above the floor, located near the main door, with a small balcony in front of it. Unfortunately, her daughter tried to squeeze through the window bars to get back into the room but got her head stuck.
Ms. Mai was startled but quickly regained her composure, understanding that the situation could be resolved. She whipped out her phone to record the incident as evidence to admonish her children later. Then, with her husband’s help, they carefully extracted their daughter from the window.
“We had to lay her horizontally and pull her legs through the bars. To be honest, she was more worried about getting scolded by me than being stuck,” Ms. Mai said with a laugh.
With four children, Ms. Mai enforces a strict “iron discipline” parenting style. She encourages independence in her older children while closely supervising the younger ones to prevent accidents.
“Children are naturally curious and active, and parents can’t always be perfect. I’ve already enrolled my three older children in swimming lessons to prevent drowning, and my youngest will start this summer.
For energetic children, parents have no choice but to be extra vigilant during the summer break,” Ms. Mai advised.
Exasperated Parents and Grandparents
Ms. Nguyen Chi Le, another parent, shared a similar experience. She sent her two sons, ages eight and six, to their maternal grandparents’ house in Nghe An province for the summer. Together with their two cousins, the four children turned their grandparents’ home upside down with their boisterous play.

Ms. Le recently shared a photo on social media of her children covered from head to toe in mud after a day of helping their grandmother in the fields. The caption read: “Just one day, and they look like they’re straight out of a movie. I’ve been shouting myself hoarse.”
This relatable post quickly gained traction online.
“My mother is a rice farmer, and the children insisted on helping her. At 5 pm, when the sun was scorching hot, they ran straight into the paddy fields. One wanted to help with planting rice, while the others wanted to catch crabs and snails,” Ms. Le explained.
At the end of the day, the children returned with a bag full of snails and even leeches, much to their mother’s horror.
Ms. Le and her parents felt helpless as the four children wreaked havoc in the house with their non-stop shouting, crying, and mischievous antics.
“My mother can handle it, but my father has high blood pressure. We initially planned for the children to stay for a week, but after just three days, I had to bring them back home.
However, the situation didn’t improve much at my house. Their antics scared my mother-in-law and husband. To be honest, I can’t handle having them all together for too long either,” Ms. Le admitted.

Mr. Hai from Son La province also shared a humorous account of his six-year-old son accidentally breaking their TV.
He posted a TikTok video of the incident, captioned “The summer break has just started, and my monthly salary is already gone,” which quickly went viral.
Mr. Hai explained that his son was playing with a pickleball paddle inside their small living room when he accidentally hit the 43-inch TV mounted on the wall, shattering the screen.
“I bought that TV for 9 million VND two years ago, and my son broke it in a few seconds. My wife and I were shocked and didn’t know what to do,” Mr. Hai said.
Going forward, Mr. Hai plans to send his two children to their grandparents’ houses for the summer. “My in-laws have two TVs, and I wonder what their fate will be,” he joked.
