Mother of four Sarah Balsdon had struggled caring for children during the United Kingdom’s lockdown during the pandemic. In particular, getting her four kids to do chores around the house and homework was proving too much to ask. That changed, however, with the acquisition of a secondhand vending machine.
The 29-year-old nurse from Ashington, Northumberland, the United Kingdom, paid 100 pounds (US$125) for the coin-operated vending machine, which dispensed chocolate, candy, and chips. She and her husband, Kyle, 29, made the purchase as a last resort after their four kids, Shannon, 9, Lucy, 8, Jack, 5 and Elijah, 2, simply refused to help around the house.
