A dad found his 12-year-old son yelling at his hardworking mom for not doing his laundry. Upset by this, the dad decided to teach his son a lesson. He took him to the laundry room to show him how to sort clothes and use the machines, wanting him to learn responsibility.
When spring break came, the dad sent his wife on a vacation with friends and stayed home with the kids. He made the son do chores, including laundry and cooking. Although the boy complained, his dad asked if he thought housework was a full-time job and reminded him that both parents worked full-time and still did chores.
The boy called his grandmother to complain, but she supported the dad and refused to take him in, recalling her own strict parenting.
When the dad sought advice online, most people agreed with his approach, saying it was important to teach responsibility and equality in household chores. They suggested focusing on education rather than punishment.
The dad wanted to prevent his son from feeling entitled and being disrespectful, emphasizing fairness in the family.
