What type of irony is this : ( Dramatic irony ) (Situational irony) or Verbal irony:

A mother walks into a room and sees that her children, instead of doing their homework, are playing video games. She gives them a stern look and says, "Once you're done with your very important work there, let's take some time out for recreation in the form of some math problems."
