The dad says he made the video because he was getting nowhere telling his kids how to complete chores in person. He then figured it would be best to reach them on a platform they're more comfortable with: social media.

The video was first posted on a private family group before being publicly shared online.

"I jokingly said to my kids that I would post it wider if they didn't start being more tidy," Reid said. "They said to go ahead as I wasn't funny and no one would be interested."

Unfortunately for his kids, the clip has since gone viral, receiving nearly 3.5 million views so far.
