Discipline is the edifice of a successful life. Parents try out all the possible ways to make children to take up the vibes as a part of their life. For that, they also end up going too far with their antics sometimes. A mother named Katrina Neathey also acted in a similar way to make her three children adopt some clean habits.

Katrina operates a cleaning business with her twin counterpart- Natalie. But that was not all about her cleaning spree. The 36-year-old woman had spent her maternal life mopping up the mess that her three children left for her back. But time was up for her kids. They were in their teens. She had to make them grab the sanctity of cleanliness. After thinking about the issue for some time, she ended up making some ‘basic ground rules’ to protect the £4000 refurbishments of her stairs.

The kids held on to the rule for a few pretty days. But then they turned back to their old trails. Katrina could see her making a mess with the rules. Finally, her patience breached the mark when she saw mud blotting her £1200 carpet. That blew off her mind. Thus, she ended up taking things for the worse.

She went ahead to make some contracts listing out the cleanliness rules. Then she called her notorious kids to the dining room.

She went ahead to hand the contracts to her kids. The kids took a look at the contract. It asked them to either abide by the rules or face a penalty for every violation.

Well, the three kids did not face the same level of penalty. The eldest of the group- Hayden (aged 19 and an apprentice plumber) and Joshua (aged 18 and a carpenter apprentice) faced the wrath of a penalty of £5 for each rule break.

On the other hand, Olivia (aged 13) faced the threat of seizure of her mobile phone for one day on finding her breaking a rule. The kids went ahead to sign the contract with a pounding heart. Their mother was all set to keep an eagle’s eye on their every move.

The contract tried to cover every element related to cleanliness. It banned kids from cherishing fizzy drinks in their rooms, scattering their dirty washing across the room, leaving their bed unsettled, keep their clothes in a decent manner, etc. Apart from that, the contract deleveraged Olivia of the privilege of putting her make up on in her room.

Thus, kids were on their toes to step ahead carefully. Katrina was delighted to see the change. However, that could not put a brake on their violation of rules completely. She slapped Joshua with a fine of £5 for each of the three violations- hiding wrappers in a shoebox, down the side of bed and clothes.

Olivia saw the moment of separation from her phone when Katrina found a wrapper in the room. Joshua fell off the mark for not making his bed.

So Katrina ended up putting £20 in her kitty with the fines.
