You have to hand it to the mothers among us, they put up with some serious sh*t from the likes of us who treat our family home like a hotel, and leave the immersion on without so much as a fleeting thought for their sanity.

And it looks like one kid's mam has officially had enough.

Taking to Twitter to illustrate the lengths his mother went to to prove a point recently, Connor Cox, a college kid in the States, shared a snap of a package his mother sent him.

And it was nothing but a big pile of rubbish which Conor had left behind him after hightailing it back to his college dorm.

"Thought my mom was sending me a care package… but instead she sent me a box of trash I was supposed to take out," Conor wrote in the post which has gone viral since its upload in recent weeks.

Speaking to BuzzFeed, Connor's mam said: "His room should be left the way it was when he came home for Christmas break, which I cleaned before he came home."

"I have raised and taught Connor better than this, and his actions deserve consequences – even if they are humorous," she added.

And by the sounds of things, countless Twitter users are with Connor's mam on this one.

"I dumped garbage on my son's bed for "forgetting" to take it out. He remembered every day after that. Garbage at top of list," remarked one commentator beneath the post.

Well, that's us told.
