When it comes to parenting, getting your children to do their chores and help around the house can be pretty tricky.
But one mum seems to have found a "genius" way to do just this.
TikTok user SareBear, who post under the username sarebear_13689, shared a hilarious trick she played on her teenage son.
In the video her son walks into the living room and asks his mum what the WiFi password is, to which she replies: "Clean your room first."
The boy sighs and turns around and walks back out towards his bedroom to do just that.
An hour later he comes back realises his mistake.
He tells his mum he's finished cleaning his room and asks again for the WiFi password.
She replies: "Clean your room first, all lower case, no spaces."
The mum chuckles at the amusing situation.
Since being uploaded, the video has garnered over two million views and more than 173,000 likes.
A number of fellow parents praised the mum for sharing the trick, with one person writing: "Awww that's a great idea."
Another branded it "genius".
A third said they thought it was the "parent hack of the year"
Someone else posted: "This is brilliant."
"I'm so doing this," claimed a different user.
A sixth added: "Well played."
Others admitted they'd tried similar tricks out on their kids, with a seventh saying: "I did this with Netflix, changed it to coffeeplease.
"Four coffees later my daughter got it."
