“When your child says, “No, you clean it, mother,” after being asked to do it twice in a row.”
Viewers are split about her response to her son’s disorganized room.It might be difficult to teach young children to complete duties.Do you reinforce it positively when you do it? Or do you like the negative? In parenting circles, it is a topic that is frequently discussed.
Some people think that discipline and a strong hand are the only ways to attain the desired outcomes, whereas others think that rewards help children develop.A mother’s punishment for her five-year-old boy who refused to clean his room was shown on TikTok, where it made quite a stir.

User Tabatha of TikTok posted a video claiming that she wanted to discipline her five-year-old son after he refused to clean up his disorganized room after she asked him to do so for two days.
In the more than three million times-watched videos, Tabatha moves the camera over the dirt and trash on his bedroom floor.”When you ask your child to clean his room for two days in a row, and he answers, “No, you clean it, mother,” she explains. “OK, I’ll do it happily,” she said.
The angry mother then begins snatching her son’s toys off the floor and stuffing them into trash bags.The caption on the video reads, “Trash here we come.”
“Momma is not raising disrespectful guys,” she says as she records the now-empty child’s room at the end of the video. Nothing that has to be done is a “mom” or “women” task (sic).
“You created the mess; now clean it up. Help your mother if you notice her in need. Don’t just stand by while a lady is struggling, please.
One commenter said, “Judging from his toys, he’s too young for the complete duty. If you want everything clean, start by helping him and then build up to him cleaning it alone.”
Another person said that learning to put one toy away while taking another out would be more acceptable for a five-year-old than being assigned the more difficult task of cleaning the entire room.
Some commenters were ruder than others; one said: “Bad parenting 101.” and others pushed for child protective services to be notified about the family.
However, Tabatha did not express regret in a subsequent video and claimed that her son’s room was still empty. But she did say that his toys weren’t in the trash; instead, they were in the basement, where he could “earn” each one back via good behaviour and duties.
What are your thoughts on this punishment? Fair or excessive? Please share in the comments.
First I didn’t see & easy place for him to throw the toys like a toy box, baskets, etc. I did take away a favorite toy (1) when my son misbehaved. I put it up in the closet for a few days & rewarded it back to him for all the good behavior that always followed. Also at one point when he & his sister were small I would sit in the floor & they thought I was playing with them but I was slowly cleaning up😀- they enjoyed that. After thought-My children are now grown but both keep their homes clean😉❣️
