Parents Go Viral Posting Fake News To Get Kids To Clean Their Rooms

Parents are going viral by posting videos showing how they use fake news to get their kids to clean their rooms.

On April 27, 2024, AnnaTwinsies, a mother of four, posted a video on TikTok with a “life hack for parents” in which she edited and aired a fake newscast. In the clip, the presenter talks about the “big news of the moment” by mentioning that two of the TikToker’s twins didn’t clean their room.

“If the children don’t clean up today, a special service will come and collect all their toys from the house,” the news channel said. Seconds later, Anna’s four children rushed into their room to clean up the mess.

Anna said in the caption: “Here’s a tip for you parents if your kids don’t want to clean their rooms. You are welcome!”

She doesn’t reveal exactly how the news was broadcast, but it’s safe to say she used some sort of AI to create the fake anchors. The TikTok video quickly garnered just under a million views and fans flooded the comments with their thoughts.

“World Parent of the Year!” » a user responded.

Another said: “The way they were running around organizing their toys. »

More than a month after the TikTok post, Twitter user Enezator shared a similar clip of a parent using AI to create fake news to get their children to clean their rooms.

Yegen’s post garnered 7.5 million views in just one day, with over 680 comments from people sharing their thoughts in the replies.

“This is the act of an evil genius,” one user said.

Another commented: “You are watching a master at work. »

A wide variety of life hacks from parents often go viral on social media. Last March, a parent went viral for using Fortnite to teach her son financial literacy.
