The simple parent tricks thread
* The kids like cheese, but would only eat it in prepackaged, individually-wrapped cheese stick form.
The solution - I cut slightly thick slices off of a block of cheese. Then I used a steak knife to carve their initials or other shapes into the slices. The shapes stay in the slice until the kids pop them out. Part of the fun is guessing what shape our cheese holds. Now they want the "mystery cheese" more than the other stuff.
* Out of bubble bath, after the wife promised a bubble bath.
The solution - ice cubes! What? No, they don't make bubbles, but toss a few in the tub an the kids love to play with them. They are wierd, and something new, and a great distraction from the lack of bubbles.
Post your tricks.
