Dad Uses Social Media to Teach Kids Simple Life Lesson: ‘Obviously, Me Telling Them Face to Face Is Not Working…’

A video that went viral on Reddit shows a father teaching his children life lessons on social media.

"Obviously, me telling them face to face is not working..." the father begins with mock solemnity. "So I've tried to be creative, and I've come up with the idea of using social media to try to reach you. So, this first instructional video is number one in the series: how to change a toilet roll."

"I know this is a difficult one so, James and Beth, please pay attention," the father adds, before walking through the steps, acting as though it was an extraordinarily complex process.

"Now that's really all there is to it, so make sure you watch that a few times," the father concludes. "The advanced level would be to actually take the empty toilet roll holder and put it in the bin. I feel that might be just a step too far at the moment, so we'll keep it as is..."
