It's not easy being parent, as most people will agree. Molding a young person takes dedication, creativity, strength and a lot of patience. It's a test of one's ability to be resourceful. Thankfully, parents can count on other parents for tips, tricks and hacks to make their life easier and there are loads of these on the internet.
Here are just some of the most creative hacks and shortcuts parents have shared that you can also use in your own household:
1. Forego the expensive playpen and use the more affordable inflatable pool. It's not just good for summer and backyard swimming parties with the kids. It can be an instant playpen. Use it indoors or outdoors. Since there are no hard corners, the inflatable pool is safe to use, according to DIY Fun Ideas.
6. If you have more than one child, place dots on their clothes' label for easier identification when putting laundry in the closet. The third child's clothes would have three dots on the label, for example. This cuts time and does away with confusion, especially if you have someone helping out else (like a visiting mother-in-law). As clothes get handed down, just add a dot!
