The punishment when you don't wash the dishes
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp/Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
Sometimes parents have to 'dish it out' the hard way to teach their kids a lesson.
To the parents who give their kids household chores, this one is for you...
Some kids recently ate dinner off the kitchen countertops when they failed to complete their chores. No, it was unrelated to that saying about eating off countertops because they are that clean. It was because the kids did not complete their tasks, which resulted in their mother teaching them a lesson.
This is a lesson that we hope they won't forget soon. It did not look like an appetising or appealing way to eat a meal—well, not unless you enjoy eating off countertops.
According to the video post on TikTok, the kids revealed that because they failed to wash the dishes, their mother went into 'mom-mode' and dished out their dinner on the granite kitchen tops.
At first, it looked like something young people would do to avoid washing dishes in the first place or a fun way to get the family to eat together when you don't have water and don't want the dishes to pile up.
But this was an interesting punishment a mother used to teach her children a lesson.

Read some of the comments from the post below.
- "I swear if you told me this verbally, I wouldn't believe you."
- "And this is not abuse; it's raising your kids right."
- "I always took her Tupperware when I left and did not return it when I returned. She once dished up for me in…clear plastic bags."
- "My late big brother and I once slept in the garage because we didn’t want to clean our room. My mom locked our room. I swear, to this day, my place is always clean."
- "My granny, instead of doing this, made us open our hands so she can dish up. May her precious soul rest in peace."
