The video titled "Misión nocturna" has struck a chord with countless parents, resonating deeply with those familiar with the nighttime stealth mission of getting out of their child's room without waking them.

In this gripping and relatable video, viewers are taken on a suspenseful journey that showcases a parent’s attempt to leave their child's room after putting them to sleep. The tension is palpable, with one viewer remarking, "Damn, what a nail biter."

Parents who have found themselves in similar situations will find the video particularly amusing and nostalgic. One user humorously commented, "haha... still have PTSD from looking to check that my daughter's eyes were still closed only to have her black shark eyes staring back." This sentiment is echoed by many, as another adds, "Anyone who has raised a child has done this many times. You'd be surprised how panther-like a human could be in their movements. Fluid, calculated, soundless, able to sneak up on a squirrel."

The comments section is filled with helpful tips and shared experiences, revealing the universal nature of this nightly ritual. One viewer advises, "The key is to pull your arms out first, wait a bit to make sure they settle, then make your escape," while another emphasizes the importance of remaining perfectly still: "After the slide-out, you have to lie _perfectly still_ on the ground for a count of 100, or they will sense the motion of you leaving the room."

Some parents have developed unique strategies to ensure a successful exit. A relatable comment reads, "When I fail, I've started saying 'be right back. I'll be right back.' Then I run for it anyway. The next morning, one of my 3-year-olds will mockingly say, 'I'll be right back, mommy.'"

Others share their amusing anecdotes, such as a grandmother's experience: "She was laying with him, thought he was asleep, and was crawling on her hands and knees out the door. She looked over her shoulder, and he was behind her on his hands and knees like, 'Eh grandma, what we doin' lol."

The video also sparked discussions about parenting techniques and philosophies. One user stated, "Other parents call us heartless when we tell them our kids have never slept in our bed, or even in our room. From the first night home, own bed, own room. We don't care, we got our bed, they have theirs."

The creative and humorous comments highlight the shared experience of parents everywhere who have faced the challenge of sneaking out of their child's room. As one user succinctly put it, "You have not succeeded until you have rolled/crawled out of the room, closed the door, and gotten fully down the hall or down the stairs lol."

"Misión nocturna" is a testament to the silent, nightly battles that parents wage and the stealthy skills they develop in the process. It’s a must-watch for any parent who has ever found themselves in this delicate and often comical situation.

WRONG. After the slide-out, you have to lie _perfectly still_ on the ground for a count of 100, or they will sense the motion of you leaving the room.

Normally we see Dad warrior builds, so it's neat to see a rogue build.

When i fail, I've started saying 'be right back. I'll be right back." Then i run for it anyway. The next morning, one of my 3yr olds will mockingly say, "I'll be right back, mommy."

Not done yet.. you gotta walk across the room and close the door silently. Only then mission is complete.
