Dealing with unruly, generally messy or misbehaving children can be a heck of a drag. This particular Voolas contributor doesn’t actually have any kids, but they do have wild nieces and nephews who tend to leave a collection of absolute chaos in their paths, wherever they go. That’s why you have to respect these parents who have come up with unique and often hilarious ways of taking care of business when their children are acting up or not helping around the house. From hiding the keys to the xbox plug in your son’s messy room, to giving back the WIFI password in exchange for a photo of a freshly cleaned kitchen, these techniques are truly awesome. Needless to say, these genius parenting techniques are absolutely amazing.

If your kid is coasting through class with C-, or is just plain lazy and failing with E’s and F’s, then you need to employ this technique as a motivational ploy. This is truly genius work.
How else are you going to force these two little tyrants to actually get along with each other? Brothers and sisters are notorious for squabbling over the most ridiculous stuff, so this might help them to mend fences.
How is this poor kid going to get any sleep when they know that there’s an evil laundry basket watching them every single night. If they thought cleaning their room was their worst nightmare, they clearly haven’t met the basket yet.
She has no idea how much this moment is going to come back and haunt her in a few years. Still, at least it’ll be a memorable photo for the year book. We wonder what the inspiring quote will be underneath, though.
A little bit obsessed with all things film and and tennis. You can catch me binging on films and writing furiously about them, or darting around the court like a mad man.
