Mom Puts All Her 2-Year-Old Son’s Toys In A Trash Bag After He Refuses To Tidy His Room, And The Internet Has Mixed Reactions

There’s a saying that goes “We’re not raising children. We’re raising adults.” So when Tabatha Marie’s child refused to clean up his room, she decided to teach him a lesson. Tabatha trashed his toys.

The mom posted a TikTok, explaining her reasoning behind the decision, and said she is not raising a disrespectful man—it is not mommy’s or woman’s job; if you make a mess, you have to clean it.

Some parents, however, thought Tabatha’s punishment was too harsh. They started commenting their thoughts under her video, sparking a heated debate on teaching children responsibility.
