She’s serving her little nugget — and heated haters are virtually frying her for it.
Preparing dinner for a picky toddler can be a mom’s worst nightmare.
But this unintimidated, meal-prepping mommy hits her local McDonald’s drive-thru hard, regularly purchasing between 80 to 100 chicken nuggets to freeze, reheat and feed her fussy son come time to eat.
However, TikTok trolls aren’t at all impressed with her Happy Meal hack.
“These are the only nuggets that my child eats,” explained married mom of two Se, from South Carolina, known online as @SeebieDeebie, to a virtual audience of 1 million viewers.
In the post, she posed with four 20-piece boxes of the crispy delights, which can cost just over $6 per pack, according to the McDonald’s app.
“I take a Ziploc bag, and I put them all [inside],” said Se, demonstrating her storage routine, in which she squeezes out all of the air from the plastic sack to ensure the food’s long-lasting freshness.
“Then, what I do is I put them in the refrigerator for one day,” she continued. “You want [the nuggets] to cool down before you put it in the freezer so that they don’t stick together.”
The crafty mama went on to explain that when her boy is hungry, she defrosts 10 pieces of the golden brown goodies in the microwave for approximately 90 seconds before serving them to her little foodie — who, in the clip, is seen drenching the bites in his preferred dipping sauce while chowing down.

And Se isn’t the only parent who’s had to get creative when feeding choosy children. In fact, A-lister mom Cardi B, 31, has copped to cooking her five-year-old daughter special dishes due to her “picky” palate.
But recent research from analysts in the UK found that tikes who fuss over their food can work with their parents to determine which eats they’re willing to try sans external pressure.
And although Se’s high-taste tot seems to be happy with her Mickey D’s indulgence — which other moms of hard-to-please eaters applauded as “genius” — social media naysayers scolder her for catering to the boy instead of forcing him to eat whatever she cooks.
“Nah, couldn’t be me as a parent,” shamed a cynic.
“Wtfff this is so wrong,” another rebuked.
“McDonald’s is literally the worst thing you can put in your body. Poor kid,” penned a separate pessimist.
“That’s so disgusting,” added another.
But when a messy mocker suggested that Se should refuse to feed the kid anything, she eagerly slammed the keyboard critic.
“I only ate what Mom cooked, or starved,” wrote the commenter, to which the no-nonsense mother replied, in part: “I’m sorry, I don’t want that for my kids.“
