Random Parenting Tips

Here are the random tips from child proofing home to duplicating things. This is necessary for you to have a safe and sound home; and to be a scream-free mother.

1. Furniture
Use a leather couch instead of fabric. So if your children get their milk spilt, all you need to do is wipe the couch. Easy.

Use a non-fabric floormat. Keyword: no fabric oriented house. You can even allow your child to play with their rubber ducks on this kind of mat. All you need to do is mop after that scream.

Two queen sized beds, so every one can sleep like a baby. This is the concept of co-sleeping. And make sure you have lots of pillows so that they won't argue over it. One bed for the mother, one for the father; so the children will have a guardian each. Well, most of the times I have three with me, leaving alone the father on one bed. (Unfair!)

Child stool so that they can wash their hands by themselves.

2. Playroom

You need a room for them to play. Yes, a room. If you do not have enough room for the guests, you may allow them to use this room. Entertain the guests with Lego, stuffed animals and play believe toys.

Teach the children to put back the toys in their places, so it will make your life easier. Keyword: discipline.

Feed them with puzzles, books, boxes of toys. And love.

A dustbin of bears.

3. Duplicate EVERY things.

Pillows.

Cups.

Plant pots.

4. Bathroom

You need to have lots of rubber ducks, rubber elephants, rubber lions, rubber zoos. Keyword: Lots of, rubbers.

You need to have lots of shower creams and shampoos as well, for them to play transferring and play believe scouring the toilet. Buy cheap shower creams and shampoos (so you won't regret) so that they can spill them out in one bath time. All you have to do afterwards is teach them feeling, "Mummy sedih, shampoo Mummy dah habis. Macam mana Mummy nak shampoo rambut Mummy?" They will promise you they will not do it again, which the promise only last for 5 minutes and yes, don't go for steep creams.

Perhaps that are the random tips from me. For those who haven't a maid or helper to clean up your house, trust me, these tips help.
