This Kmart ‘MUM UNHACK’ has gone viral - but does it make you laugh or cringe?

It’s divided mums all over the country - by Amy Sinclair
  • 29 Mar 2019

It’s the Kmart ‘Mum Unhack’ that’s gone viral - but it seems not everyone is a fan.

Posting to the Kmart Unhacks and Roasts page, one mum revealed how she’d turned a rodent’s water bottle into a feeding system for her child. 

This Kmart ‘MUM UNHACK’ has gone viral - but does it make you laugh or cringe?

Sticking the water bottle to the wall next to her child’s bed using sticky tape, the mums captioned the snap ‘Mum Hack’.

Of course many parents are familiar with the common kids’ tactic of constantly asking for water to prolong going to bed - leading this mum to come up with a new way of using the rodent and bunny water feeder. 

The post attracted more than a thousand comments - but while many mums thought the hack was genius, others were shocked and outraged. 

‘Is their child a hamster?’ said one. Added another: ‘Do they have an exercise wheel in the corner?’

Said a third: “Next, there will be a litter tray in the room so they don’t have to leave the toilet light on at night.”

Others saw the lighter side of the ‘Unhacks’, wondering if it would work for mums and asking: “Would this work with wine?”

Hmmmm. Food for thought!
