In the clip her nine-year-old daughter, Emma, can be seen begrudgingly folding up her laundry as hr mum records her.

Over the clip the mum explained exactly what happened and why she cancelled her daughters playdate until the next day, once the chores were taken care of.

Ruth wrote: "Emma thought it was ok to tell me she didn't feel like folding her clothes before going out to play with her little friends.

"Well I cancelled the playdate until tomorrow."

The mum-of-two then went on to add why she felt it was important to set these boundaries at a young age for Emma.

"It's NOT ok for your kids to do whatever the hell they want," she continued.

"They'll eat you alive as teens if they don't comprehend that they need to contribute to household chores, more so when it's their clothes."

Although Emma didn't cancel the playdate completely rescheduling it for the next day when Emma had completed her chores - her post garnered a varied response from viewers.

The clip posted to her TikTok account @lifewithruthandjordan went viral with over 1million views and 140k likes.

Many claimed the mum was far too harsh by cancelling her daughter's plans and then filming it to put on social media.

One person wrote: "Yeah ok, but if you had an exciting day planned but realised you hadn’t folded the laundry, would you cancel your day for it… or just enjoy your day."

Another commented: "Parent however you want but filming your child afterwards for the whole internet is so strange."

"My mum did this. I did not thank her later," penned a third.

However, others thought Emma was doing a great job at instilling a work ethic in her daughter.

A fourth said: "Also Latina. This helped me take care of my space and my own things such as my clothes, room, etc. I’m super glad my mum did this."

"Yep! This just freaking shapes you. So scary to have so many negative comments about this. The world we live in," replied Ruth.

"Great job mama! do as your told, responsibility, then you get to have your fun,” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: "Responsibilities first, play second."
