You know how kids always want PAW Patrol yogurt or Disney waffles or whatever? Bring your own stickers to the grocery store and start sticking. Today we’re having Winnie the Pooh brand spaghetti squash. It goes perfectly with Toy Story broccoli.

    Now, it goes without saying that parenting is definitely one of the harder challenges in life. A rewarding one, but a hard journey nonetheless.

    With that said, the hacks you see in this listicle are a way to make things at least a tad bit easier, or maybe even the fruit of the hard work parents put into raising a good human being. A fruit that is creative parenting.

    But it doesn’t have to be hard. As long as you know what to do, that is half the battle.

    One of the best things that you can do as a parent is to “feed your soul.” That means you have to find ways to rest, relax, and restore that which is in your core. You can call it “me time” in a sense—experience something for you every day.

    By giving yourself a moment to not care about your parenting worries and instead doing something for you, you recharge. And with that, you can go on being a good parent.

    If you cook, listen to what you want in the background. If you need to work, maybe do it in a cafe. If you just had lunch, take a walk around the neighborhood to fully use your lunch hour. Things like that.

    The next thing to note is that you are not alone. So, don’t try to brave it alone—build a tribe. Surround yourself with people who would cheer you on when the going gets rough. Sometimes, it’s an issue of not being able to let someone in, and other times you don’t have anyone. But if you make the effort, someone is sure to respond sooner or later.

    Another important thing to note is that you gotta stay you. Just because you have kids, that doesn’t mean you have to stop being yourself. Remember what you enjoy, who you were before kids and embrace it. Because nobody feels comfortable dancing to the tune of someone else’s song. Your song is the best fit for you. Incidentally, it can be the song you put on whilst cooking.

    You could try this with lavender essential oil. Spiders apparently hate the smell, so that would turn it into an actual spider spray.

    Like with many other aspects of life, there is no shame in asking for help. Ever. Parenting isn’t a one man gig. Your significant other can and should always help. Grandparents and parents, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews all have the potential for helping out when parenting gets tough—and their involvement will only strengthen the bond of the family.

    Last, but certainly not least, stay positive. Being grumpy and negative never really amounts to anything, and especially not parenting. Be there for your kids, watch them grow as they explore and discover the world, encourage them and let them be a positive influence on you. Life is hard as it is—being salty about it all the time won’t help, so better not even start.

    Or you can just say no.... Perhaps an unpopulair opinion but i don't see why she should get something everytime you go to daycare or whenever she says she wants something. I suppose she goes to daycare right after breakfast, so she just ate and probably isn't hungry. When she really is hungry there are better alternatives like a banana, apple, grapes, cherrytomatoes, cucumber or a sandwich from home.

    My son still asks for broccoli over fries. He loves veggies. Got lucky, only thing I could say is I would make it for dinner with the rest of the food. We all eat the same thing and he could ask for more food if he ate what he had on his plate. Never made a big deal of it other the commenting occasionally how much I loved mine.

    I made surprise eggs with small things in them he would get to pick out. Stickers, a couple mnms, small play doh, mini figures. Would reuse the eggs and the contents ended up being about a quarter or less each. He loved the surprise. Though he ended up where he would go and sit in the bathroom repeatedly trying to get the eggs lol. Worked though and eventually convinced him it only counted when he really had to go.

    You should unravel Christmas lights at all times! Due to electricity heat.. Edit: indeed led lights use way less electricity so it is less important. Furthermore it is not about the light itself but when you roll them up the electric wire acts like a coil (?) that amplifies the electricity. Source: husband is an electrician

    My kid had a toy that would talk for several seconds, then sort of turn off, but if you didn't turn off the switch. it would wake up when jostled and wake everyone else up. We fiinally threw it out. Down the trash chute in our apartment building. Where it landed at the very bottom. And apparently the trash men didn't always empty the trash chite down to the very bottom, so it would wake up when we (or probably anyone else in the building) threw their trash out. For weeks. And, given that context, just about ANYTHING can sound creepy as hell. "That was fun. Can we play again?" "You won't forget about me, will you?" "I'm going to be a good train from now on!"
