Mom Sets Up Vending Machine At Home, Asks Kids To Earn Their Treats Via Household Chores

10 kgs! That’s the amount of weight I’ve put on ever since the lockdown started. Well, honestly, this extra gain is courtesy of all my late-night snacking. It seems like I have no self-control while I am confined at home with nothing much to do.

Speaking of which, a mother of four seems to have found the perfect way to self-discipline her kids. Sarah, a nurse from Northumberland, England has set up a vending machine at her home, reports News18. However, while she has filled the machine with snacks and treats, you can’t just take what you like you need to earn your reward. Quite literally!

Tired of her kids eating unhealthy snacks all the time, Sarah purchased a second-hand vending machine and filled it with her kids’ favorite treats like chocolates and chips, reports The Metro. However, in order to get the snacks, her children aged between 9 to 2 would have to earn money. They could do so by either finishing off their school work or by helping in doing household chores. Or they could choose to enjoy a healthy snack for free!

She did this so that her kids could understand the true value of money. Well, being in quarantine with kids can be difficult and this sure is a clever way to keep them occupied. What do you think? Tell us!
