Mum Adele Barbaro goes to extreme lengths to avoid doing the dishes at dinner time with her kids

A mum has revealed how she went to extreme lengths to avoid doing the dishes at dinner time by trying the ‘messy dinner’ trend that has taken off on social media.

Adele Barbaro, who lives in Melbourne, tried the ‘messy dinner’ approach with her two children after she made a meal of spaghetti bolognese.

The food trend involves ‘dumping’ food into the middle of the table and letting everyone fend for themselves without plates or sometimes even cutlery.

‘So I wanted to do that viral TikTok spaghetti table dump trend but the kids thought I was doing some other food fight trend I’m not aware of,’ Adele posted on Instagram. 

‘Really took the shine off my carefree, cool mum approach when I had to spend the entire dinner begging them not to chuck it at each other.’

The video shows Adele first lay down a mountain of spaghetti on a white cloth on the table, which she then tops with bolognese sauce and cheese. 

Things take a turn when her kids excitedly say ‘I know what you’re doing mum, you’re doing the thing where you lay the pasta out and we have a pasta fight’. 

Adele rushes to tell them she is not initiating a food fight, but rather wants them to eat the food. 

‘Dig in. Have fun. I didn’t want to do any dishes,’ she laughed.

Aussie mum, Adele Barbaro, stopped picking up empty toilet rolls to see if anyone else in her family would collect them but sadly nobody did

An Australian mum attached money to rubbish around her house in a hilarious experiment to see if anyone would put it in the bin and claim the prize 

This isn’t the first time Adele has made thousands laugh. Previously, she started an experiment to see what would happen if she stopped throwing out the empty toilet rolls was shocked by the end result.

Adele carried out the unsuccessful ‘social experiment’ to protest the fact she always has to pick up the empty rolls.

Sadly she now has twelve empty rolls littering her bathroom.

‘In protest, a few weeks back, I quietly stopped collecting toilet rolls and putting them in the bin,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘It has been a bit of a social experiment to see if anyone else in my family would do it.

‘They haven’t. I expect this room to eventually just completely fill with toilet rolls and my family to continue to ignore them and just change toilets and use the other toilet downstairs.’ 

Others revealed they have done similar, taping a $20 note to an empty loo roll and placing it face down with a ‘finders keepers’ note taped on it.
