A MUM has shared her hack for getting rid of her kids’ artwork without offending them – but some parents have said it is cruel.
TikTok mum Shan Chef shared a video which showed what she does with any art her kids bring home from school.
She wrote in the caption: “Overwhelmed by your kids’ artwork? Call on the dumpster gnome!”
In the video, Shan can be seen holding what appears to be a decorated circular piece of paper.
Turning to her son, she asked: “This has got to be my favourite thing that I’ve taught my kid. Buddy, can I give this to the dumpster gnome?”
After he replied with “yes”, and asked the boy: “Ok, what does the dumpster gnome do with this?”
Her son replied: “Throws it in the garbage and then decorates their house with it.”
Shan added: “Mummy throws it in the garbage and then he decorates his house with it.”
Many people praised Shan for finding a way to throw away her kids’ artwork in a way that makes them think they are doing a good deed.
BRITAIN’S biggest baby competition is back and we are looking for the King or Queen of the crèche.
The Sun is hunting for Britain’s bonniest baby.
Not only could your child be crowned the cutest baby, there’s also an £1,000 prize up for grabs.
Think your baby has a winning smile? Well, entering couldn’t be easier.
Simply upload a pic – and give us a little info – on our entry form.
Note: you must be a parent or legal guardian of the baby to enter.
We can only accept a photo if you’ve taken it yourself, or have permission to upload it and enter from the person who did.
And the photo must not have been edited or altered with a filter.
Finally, your baby must be aged two or under on 12 April, 2021 – the last day for submissions – and a UK resident.
Our panel of judges will choose 48 finalists from all the entries.
Parents/guardians of the babies selected will be notified by email before 18 April, when the public vote begins, right here on The Sun.
All good? Best of luck
One TikToker user commented: “Achievement unlocked! Parenting level: genius.”
Another added: “We had the art fairy. My mum left out my art for her and she came in the night and took it to decorate her house.”
A third wrote: “I feel so bad when I even think about throwing away my son’s artwork! This will make us both feel better!”
However, one wrote: “As an art teacher, this makes me incredibly sad.”
What do you think? Is the hack a stroke of genius?
Previously, a mum shared a ‘genius’ parenting hack that gives her a ‘peaceful child-free hour’ each week.
Previously, a mum invented a brilliant tip to keep kids quiet by telling them they need to lie still to ‘charge’ their glow-in-the-dark pyjamas.
And an evil genius’ mum sends kids out to deliver pointless note just to get them out the house.
