Raising a child isn’t less than a battle. You never know when you will be bombarded with a weird situation and you are expected to remedy it in the very next moment. And your incompetency to do so might lead to grumpy faces roaming around in the house throwing tantrums and making unrealistic demands.
To keep themselves sane amid all this madness, parents often design various pacts and treaties with their young ones. This dad, who goes by the name Batla_G on Twitter, ended up signing an agreement with his 6-year-old for his daily schedule. And if the young guy succeeds in rigorously following the schedule, he would be rewarded with a monetary bonus too.
From the time he wakes up to when he goes to play, does homework, and sleeps, everything is listed on this schedule. Not going rough on the lad, the dad has included a 20 min TV episode with his milk time. Moreover, the 10 min wake time is for negotiation to be in bed in the morning.
Answers to FAQs 😂
Lunch time is included in the school time from 9 AM to 2 PM
Milk time is with TV so a 20 min episode is included
Breakfast, Lunch, Milk and Dinner is with TV only 😭
10 min wake time is for “Papa, just 10 more minutes please” negotiation in the morning 😂

Then comes the part which would help the boy earn some cash. No crying, shouting, or grumping the entire day would earn him Rs 10. Additionally, if he does these the entire week, we would be rewarded with Rs 100.

Nice try, but won't sustain for even 1 week, by the end of the week new contract will be signed citing all these as null and void and with only naughtiness/game time.😺😹 https://t.co/fUgLNKOX5z

I know it’s supposed to be funny but my dad made me follow rigorous schedules similar to this (which had 0 fun scheduled in) and it’s something which has stayed with my pretty negatively all my life lol, let kids be kids
Again, I know this is mostly supposed to be funny by OP https://t.co/esHVZnxHgF

Remembering the days when I used sign the same sort of timetable-agreement with my mom.
And she used to reward me with my favourite ice-cream on Sundays
Missing those days!
