Getting kids to do their chores can be a chore itself, and like most moms with young kids and teenagers, one Indiana mom was absolutely sick of telling her kids to clean their rooms.
After telling her teenage daughters to clean up their rooms for the last time, fed up mom Alice Velásquez got creative and came up with a foolproof way to get her kids to finally do their chores by collecting everything that had not been put away from their bedrooms in garbage bags and selling them back to her kids.
“What do you do when you are DONE telling your teenage daughters to stop letting their room look like homeless people live there? You put everything (YES EVERYTHING) into plastic bags and you sell it back to them for $25 a bag,” Alice explained in a post to Facebook.
Alice explained to her kids that they could earn the money by doing other chores, and could pick one bag to get back for every $25 they earned.
“The best part? The bags were collected as they were found in the room- random! So their $25 could buy a bag of dirty clothes, it could buy a bag of trash or it could buy their soccer gear,” she wrote.
Do you think this mom is being too tough on her kids, or is this the perfect way to teach kids to clean up after themselves?
