Is this a valuable life lesson or fun-sized Cinderella story?

There are no pampering kids in this momma’s house: A UK mother is bucking today’s trend of overindulging children, instead having her 4-year-old daughter complete nearly two hours of chores a day.

“I have always believed in giving children some cleaning chores to do,” Rach Marsden, 44, told the Sun of her tyke Sienna’s grueling regimen. The Leeds native, who also boasts two sons — Louis, 29, and Jake, 19 — reportedly started making her children clean up their toys at age three.

Now, Sienna “does up to 12 hours” of household tasks per week spanning everything from cleaning to “putting the groceries away” for her mom.

“She’ll empty the washing machine and hang up items to dry,” gushed the teaching assistant of her meticulous tot. “She is also great at sweeping and vacuuming.”

Marsden added, “Her room is always immaculate and she can strip her own bed and make it — and refuses help when I offer her it.”

Naturally, this weekly routine might sound extreme for a toddler, but Marsden insists that the diminutive neat freak “loves to clean” and will even tell mom “off for not sweeping properly or completing a job list.”

“I am proud of Sienna being a cleaning machine,” fawned the proud parent. “It cuts my housework time in half and makes us both feel satisfied.”

The mom isn’t imposing such an intense regimen merely to lighten the workload — she claims that “it’s important to encourage kids to do their share of the cleaning.”

“Not giving your kids chores is wrong and irresponsible,” Marsden declared. “It teaches them to be lazy and to not care for themselves. I’m not having that with my kids.”

She added, “I know Sienna will grow up responsible and tidy.”

Indeed, studies have shown that giving kids chores starting at age three can pay major dividends later in life, including giving them higher self-esteem and a greater sense of responsibility, according to the American Academy Of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. It can also reportedly make them better equipped to handle frustration, adversity, and delayed gratification.

On the opposite end of the spoilage spectrum, this UK one-year-old named Jareem is pampered to the extreme by his unemployed mom, who gave him everything from a $1,200 solid-gold pacifier to a $1,100 diamond-encrusted bracelet on his wrist.
