Mom Bathes Kids in Pot of Melted Snow

- Children in a pot of hot water may seem like it’s straight out of a nursery rhyme, but this is actually a move from an ingenious mom. Dr. Marie Harper and her family found themselves dealing with rolling power outages and no running water because of snow and ice storms in Shreveport, Louisiana. In order to bathe her five children, ages 6 and under, Harper melted snow in a pot used for crawfish boils, and dropped her kids in one at a time! Inside Edition Digital’s TC Newman has more on their story. #InsideEdition
“We fired up the burner, added the kids, some seasoning...”
hahahhaa bro 😂😂💀💀💀
Salt and pepper? Yea k 👁👁
Wait you have Cajun

LMAOOO
These kids will grow up to be the “BACK IN MY DAY! WE SHOWERED IN POTS!” kinda parents 😂
Best comment on this entire thread!!! Lmao
mexican kids will be saying this for years 💀
No because they probably had showers most of their time...
😂😂
Yo...NO CAPPPP. *edit:my parents say "BACK IN NY DAY WE..." all the time man. Its mad annoyin Lmao 😂
This is a real Mom!! Do what she has to in order to keep her kids up. Much respect!👏🏽
My mum used to wash me in a snow pot, it’s actually pretty common in Scotland. There’s a lot of people living off the grid that bath in our rivers and lochs (lakes) but in the winter that’s a really bad idea and when we get really cold weather not even possible, in many parts over here we get snow too, our local iron monger makes a thing he calls a snowpot which takes a long time to get ready but can fit two skinny adults or one extra large one lol health and safety would never let company’s mass produce them here
I mean yea but she had power 🤷🏼♀️
@@lbo6050 that doesn't mean warm water. My area had a power outage for about a week during the winter. Worst thing ever. We also boiled water (gas stove) for baths.
@@ryuuthefrog3775 power does mean warm water.
I understand you had to boil water. My city has been ravaged by floods from hurricanes 3 times now and no power for weeks. But she had power, her hot water heater worked. If you have power you have hot water... period. I mean just Google it if you don't take my word.
@@lbo6050 The video said they had no water. Not no power.
This mom is so chill & down to earth.
Ye
This will be a fun memories for the kids when they grow up
*NO!*
Yep
Their family seems well intact

@@mayn90s19 LOL or the last!
This is one wholesome and fun memory the kids will take with them for the rest of their lives and will share to their own kids and grandkids.
It will be a really "memorable" memory for the children. Trust me, they're never gonna forget this
“When I was your age I bathed in pots of snow”
I can imagine them in high school saying: hey remember when mom put us inside the giant pot
@@hantenguuppermoon4730 lmao the other kids like : 👀
I don't remember my mom giving me a bath.
The fun time with family!
That is kinda smart when you don’t have running water.
Yeah but snow has many bad chemicals and is really dirty. It isn’t really safe but I guess they did boil it

Great parents! No matter what type of condition you’re going through u always find a way to take care of ur child and keep them clean ♥️
I gotta admit, this is pretty ingenious and the kids seem to be having a good time to. Someone like me would have never thought of this because we don't have giant Crawfish Pots readily available here in California. Wish we did though, I love Cajun and Creole style cooking and a Crawfish Boil looks like it would be really fun and delicious.
If you ever get a chance to attend one, i really suggest it! The food is delicious
Lol. Ingenious? How about leave a faucet trickling so the pipes don't freeze and they'd have running water. Lmao.
@@MrCoffeekelly she literally says it was a icestorm and they barely get snow there, she wasnt expecting any snow.
@@Tsutsu-moon lol. What does getting snow have to do with anything?
@@MrCoffeekelly it answers your question clearly lmao. If THEY BARELY GET SNOW, Why prepare for something that BARELY happens? It’s like if you live in an area where it doesn’t snow at all and it snows out the blue you’ll be like wtf

Many do this but it's only "ingenious" if you're a well off white mom, lol. Lots of rural areas in America still do this too (white fams included). Wells dry up or freeze etc. I know it's done in Alaska.
The first thing that came to mind was the song, “Oh no, not I! I WILL SURVIVE! Oh as long as I know how to live, I know I’ll stay alive 🎶🎶 or however it goes..

"We made the best for what we have". This quotes is the most inspiring to hear. It is the sign of contentment, happiness and peacefullness inside their home.
Did this as a little kid visiting family in a rural part of Eastern Europe. Hot water was expensive to get 15 years ago. We take everything for granted now a days. Good job mom!
Our hot water heater went down in the coldest part of winter. We used a tea kettle to heat up the water and 5 gallon bucket. We just used a plastic cup to pour water on our body and wash cloth. It works.
Where my grandparents live, we use natural spring water which is naturally hot but we have to do it quickly before it runs cold. Always made me feel grateful about plumbing after that

I love how this women went old school with this. She even went so far as to not change the water in-between kids and it looks like she did them from oldest to youngest. We've seen from many dairies from those days that that was the norm. Just love it
I wonder how much pee dirt and grime the first few kids left behind in the water… not much of a bath for the last kid in line 😂😂😂 just washing them with dirty several times used bath water.
This family is creative at using resources and turning them into something useful.
“So honey what’s for dinner?”

Y'all telling me you don't eat children? I'm disappointed
Main ingredient: kids
Second ingredients: vegetables optional, depend on your preference
Third ingredient: snow( to get the natural flavor of water that has been evaporated into the air and fall down from the sky)

I did this when I had my grandkids and our well froze from the cold But instead I put the big pots on the wood stove and we all had fun gathering snow in bowls and filling up the pots Good times with the grandkids
That was super clever.
Bless this mother and the family.
In south Louisiana it’s not uncommon to find people with baby pictures of the baby in a small crawfish pot along with fake crawfish and fake veggies we usually would put in a crawfish boil. It really does make adorable baby pictures and incorporates our Cajun heritage and New Orleans culture all in one
That sounds adorable! I've never seen that before!
That sounds so precious 🥺 when I have another kid I'll make sure it's with a guy from Louisiana just so we could take those cute pictures 😍😂
Sooo what's Louisiana up too.
My mom did that with us growing up, Been in Louisiana all my life an wouldn't change it for the world love it here best people you can meet.

@@negativezer0741 Finally someone agrees with me.
Keep the kids in the pots and then put a lid on and put the pot on the stove to boil. Boiled child for dinner anyone? 😂
My old apartment I use to stay in had problems with the heating system. Any time the furnace would go out we would not have hot water. I use to fill the bath tub with cold water and boil pots of water to add to the cold so I could still take a bath. I remember my husband asked me what I was doing. He came from a background where he never had to struggle for anything...lol. Once he saw what I was doing he beg me to run him a bath because he said he was tired of taking cold showers. I mean you be amazed at what some people do to get by. I feel I'm blessed because I never panic in situations like this. It's like I turn into my parents. Lol.

She did what she had to do. Good job mom for thinking outside the box.
You have to work with what you have. Kids needed to be bathed. 🧼 Great job Mom & Dad! Stay safe, happy and healthy Harper Family! ♥️
Very smart parents where they use their brain under these conditions instead of crying about how difficult it is to survive. And the kids seem to enjoy it. These kids will always always remember it.
Snow has actually birdshit and stuff from the atmosphere especially if it comes off from the roof. That is why you do not eat snow or lick icicles
🤦♀️
they boiled it so it was disinfected
👏👏👏👏👏
Thats not snow from the roof. Its on the ground and looks pretty fresh
Tiktok girl was telling this
These probably made the kids day they look so happy
That’s very smart of the mom. She really knows how to conserve her resources.
A white woman does it and it's "resourceful," but when thousands of poor people do it in third world countries no one bats a lash.
@@lovely.ameeeee485 No one bats an eye because it happens all the time. It’s normal for them. But people in America have never seen or experienced that before. It’s just a news segment I’m sure there’s plenty of videos you can watch of other people around the world doing the same
Nah. If they were smart they would have left a faucet trickling so the pipes don't freeze and they'd have running water.
@@MrCoffeekelly it's prolly something that happened overnight from a snow storm or smth judging by how much is on the ground there.
