One mum has come up with an especially effective way to get her kids to help out with the housework - taking away internet access.
The clever mum wrote a note to her children, saying they could unlock the WiFi code after posting a photo of the clean kitchen, and the cunning ploy has struck a chord with parents.
A photo of the letter was uploaded to Imgur, where it has been viewed more than 200,000 times.

In the note, the mum says the photo of the clean kitchen must include a box of crackers, which would be proof that the kids had not cheated by using a previous image.
