Sometimes children don’t take seriously their parents’ rules even when they’re made for their sake. So when this mom found her kid playing on his phone after bedtime, even when he’s not supposed to, she made him earn points to end his punishment.. 500 points!

The son had many options to earn these points, his mom came up with a clever mix of household jobs for him to do it, each task has a certain amount of points

This is what she wrote:

Congratulations! – You got grounded!!!
