10 life hacking for parents of children pogodok

One of the advantages of a small difference in age children, as it seems the parents is that they will play together and become best friends. But while this is a happy time has not yet arrived, the parents falls a large number of difficulties associated with the fact that both the baby and require little attention.

Here are 10 life hacking, how to make life easier and more enjoyable if you are parents pogodok children.

1. Buy stroller for twins. I am sure that it was a wheelchair-transformer, one part of which is senior to sit, and the other younger, you can put in a cot in the first few months, and then the same plant.

Even if your child is older, it seems, have long lost touch with strollers, with the advent of the baby, he will want to take his place, or at least on the handles. And double stroller perfectly cope with this problem.

There are also special attachment to a wheelchair, in which an older child may stand or sit. Minus them is that they are expensive, and the child may still want to sit exactly in the full carriage "as a small".

2. Buy different children toys. That is, each their own, rather than one general. This will help to avoid some of the conflicts between children.

Rattles that do not game over, of course, it is possible to transfer the youngest. But it is better to do it with the consent and participation of the child. For example, offer to make a gift to the older brother / sister, in honor of the fact that the youngest 1 month old. Let solemnly handed her baby rattles 2-3, which selects itself. But with the persuasion that you can not take back the gifts. A month later, the procedure can be repeated.

And when you buy a new toy, then remember that each child needs its own. Without "is a generic," "need to share", etc. Even adults do not want a gift for two, and then to share it, not to mention the children. They just do not understand how it is, what it is and why suddenly "for two".

3. Buy 2 pairs of identical socks. Just take my word and buy.

Firstly, it is convenient in case you get lost or breaks one of the socks. It can be quickly replaced by another pair of socks and avoid children's tantrums, if your favorite socks, without which life is not sweet.

Second, the older kids love to pick clothes younger. And if you can not get into a small suit, then pull the wrong socks - it is obligatory. Not to engage in lengthy negotiations with the child at least about socks, it is easier just to have a spare pair of the same, as is the youngest.

Of course, to do it better, when the size of the legs junior is a little closer to the size of the older.

4. Let the senior pobudet little, if he wants to. He sits in a wheelchair, on the handles, try to drink from a bottle with a nipple (still quickly get bored), crawl around the house on his knees, to practice the pronunciation "aga".

At the same time, perhaps, it is not necessary to return to the nipple and diapers, if an older child has outgrown them.

If the mother fails to allocate time and attention for the older child, he will feel that you need not be a baby, to be liked. And this phase will take place follow.

Absolutely can not convince the child that he is "an adult", "already big", this you only prolong the stage when a senior will play in junior.

5. Hire a housekeeper. To maintain home in a decent enough to au pair came 1 time per week. If you find it on the word of mouth, without recourse to the agency Cleaning, the cleaning fee will be quite acceptable.

Use of such can be used since the last months of pregnancy, the youngest child, when extremely difficult to perform household chores.

At first it may seem that it is too expensive and generally superfluous - to pay for something that makes every woman. But every woman there during the harvest on his hands two small children, desperate for attention?

6. Purchase a hand vacuum cleaner robot - in addition to the previous step or instead of it. These miracle invention help you maintain a clean and tidy every day, and for many years.

The robot vacuum cleaner will walk through all the rooms until you're out for a walk with the kids, and the hand vacuum will quickly eliminate the traces of children's activities in the form of crumbs, sand brought from the street, etc.

7. Limit the number of toys in the children's availability. Less toys - less clutter - fewer working mother - less chance that someone on something stumble and injured.

Psychologists say that a sufficient number of toys around the baby - 4. It stimulates the imagination and, as a result, helps to develop. Multiply by two children - 8 turns toys. In the current situation it is almost impossible in a family that feels safe, right?

If, as a radical limitation, you are not ready, reduce the number of existing half-toys, others hide in boxes in the closet. Later, you can get a few toys from boxes and change to those who are tired children.

So the house will be more order, and the children without any extra expenses will be new - that is well-forgotten old - toys.

8. Quickly move-pogodok children on the same diet and daily routine. Make it turn around when the youngest will be the year. If children will be eating the same food (though a bit different consistency) and sleep at the same time, you will have some free time for yourself.

9. Accept help. If you do not understand with their first child, now is the time: do not hesitate to accept help if someone is offering and ask yourself if it is really needed.

In the education of children do not need heroics and shoulder the unbearable. The opportunity to give at least one child my grandmother for the weekend to call the nurse for an hour to lie down in peace and take a shower - everything is real and it is possible if you allow yourself to yourself.

10. Allow yourself to have time not all and not always. In the eyes of those around you will still heroine who "manages to cope with the weather." Even if actually "manage" in your case - it does not get crazy and all remain intact.

So allow yourself to be just a mother, a normal person who can overcome laziness, tiredness and apathy healthy. Your maternal instinct and so force to do everything you need. A "to fake" in cleaning, ironing, cooking or hairstyle for my daughter, especially when your children are still small - it is normal.
