Utah Mom Is Making Her Children Do Extra Chores In Exchange For Toilet Paper
One Utah mother is determined that her children will have a productive routine and help around the house while they're home from school during the coronavirus outbreak — so determined that she is rationing toilet paper based on the chores they complete.
TikTok star Tyler Bott, 17, recently shared a video of his mother sitting the family down for a serious talk, in which she explained how things were going to change over the coming weeks.
She held up a list of chores, which ranged from making beds to cleaning the bathroom — and explained that she had hidden all the toilet paper, and her children would earn squares of it for every chore they checked off.
I love my mom. Who doesn't? She carried me in her tum-tum for a, quite frankly, absurd amount of time and raised me to be a solid young man. I would probably die for my mom and she'd do the same. But if she ever tried forcing me to do chores in exchange for TOILET PAPER she'd be catching the coldest sweet chin music this world has ever seen.
It's already bad enough for those kids to have to be locked away in the house for an extended period of time. One can only imagine what it's like having to work for the right to wipe your butt. We're not even talking about a couple of pieces of toilet paper or anything. No, this woman is handing out SINGLE SQUARES of toilet paper. One point (chore)= one square.
I'd honestly run away before I washed the dishes for a single square of tp. Sure, I'd consider it for like 10 squares. Something that could last me the day, should I need it. A measly square is far too little. I'm just imaging one of these kids borderline about to shit his pants but he forgot to make his bed this morning, so he's out of luck. If I were them I would just start using towels to wipe my ass. It may be barbaric but it would send a very powerful and necessary message.
Hopefully, all the kids just gang up on her and go on a toiler paper rescue mission. There are only so many places it could be hiding, right? I would spend every second searching for that stache of tp. No stone would be left unturned. I'd sniff that shit out so quickly that mom wouldn't even know what hit herself. I would only take one roll to not make obvious. A single roll of toilet paper should last one human about the length of a quarantine, right? The smart thing to do after you stole a roll would be to keep doing a couple of the 'essential' chores she mentioned, enough to be noticed but not enough where it's a lot of work. That way it still seems like you're doing the chores but in reality, you're chilling play video games down the hall. That'll show her.
I'm still not quite sure why toilet paper is the most valuable thing on the planet right now. All I know is that people feel the need to stockpile it for no reason. It turns into a hot commodity and all of a sudden it used as some sort of sick, twisted prize to reward children. What happened to the good ole days of getting a couple of bucks for doing the chores?
All I know is that mom is lucky I'm not her child. I would make a scene, the likes of which, this world has never seen. It would be an all-time temper-tantrum. I'd, of course, end up getting my way but this situation should never happen in the first place. I feel like your children should have access to toilet paper at any point in time, not just when they do the chores.
