Other parents ask me this when my children were kindergarteners ... and I always say yes. It does work.

Children mostly get tantrums because they wanna get what they want, when they want it and how they wanna get it. They holler, jump around places, squirm on the floor, or even get violent (saw some kid pulling their mom's hair on Target for a juice box) — they simply wanna get what they want IMMEDIATELY.

Some parents give what the child wants just to shut them up ... and that's where they fail. Why? Because you're basically telling the child "Okay kid that works, now here's your candy". Bottomline? The kid does it again.

When my children does this, I always let them finish their moment ... then I ask them what's up, and we work our way through. Most of the time, I assert control if I'm on the right, since I'm their mother and they should know what draws the line in getting what they want and if they deserve to get it.

Anyone on the same boat with me? What are your thoughts on this?

Working and parenting solo, so forget the aesthetic morning routines — I want the real, slightly ugly hacks that keep you from drowning.

Mine: I prep five identical outfits for my kid every Sunday so mornings have zero decisions. Trust me girl, this saved my sanity.

What's that system that quietly runs your life and you'd never give up?

For a long stretch after I gave birth, my skincare was "wash with whatever's in the shower and hope."

Now I've got a little breathing room and want to take care of my skin again, but the amount of info here is genuinely overwhelming ... there's just too much to choose from on shelves!

If you were restarting from basically zero — tired skin, low time, mid-30s — what's the simple foundation you'd build first before touching anything fancy?

Considering getting a bidet right now since I'm hearing (and reading) a lot of good things about it. Can it be a good investment?

I mean I've been in several of my Asian friends' house and saw bidets but I do have mixed feelings about them ... maybe that's just because I'm used to using toilet rolls. I do understand though how it can make your behind cleaner than using tissue. Any advice on this to those who are currently using or have one already?
