Her kids could choose from two films, with a ticket costing $5 (£4.07), while cookies, candy and popcorn was an extra charge.

As well as giving her kids a treat, the mum revealed they had to earn ‘movie money’ by cleaning their rooms and doing chores. 

She said: “Can’t go to the movies, so we brought the movies to us! 

“In order to earn movie money, they had to clean their room with no help. (Mostly no help anyway). They loved it!”
