Any parent with a young child is probably familiar with the struggle of keeping up with that kid. Before they become teenagers, they go through phases when they throw tantrums and seem to have endless amounts of energy.
If you can imagine how just one child makes you exhausted, then imagine having more than one. How about three?
Jake White and his wife were shocked to find out they were expecting not just one, but three babies. The triplets — two boys and a girl — are now 2 years old. Jake, who is a stay-at-home dad, is quickly learning how to manage three toddlers at the same time. Thanks to his artistic background, he's come up with some genius ways to manage them.
Now, his latest effort has gone viral on Facebook!
The dad admits that, to his kids — or any 2-year-old, for that matter — snack stealing seems to be the "end of the world." So he came up with a solution to stop the innocent thefts in the backseat of his car.
Scroll down for the dad's simple solution, and more!
Jake White needed to find a way to separate his 2-year-old triplets in the backseat of his car, since he is unable to tend to them while driving. With all the snack stealing going on, he decided to wedge dividers in between the car seats! Made out of foam core, the dividers are strong enough to keep them apart — for now.
"And…no more car fighting," he joked in the photo's caption. "The guys at the drive-thru said it was genius. A day in the life of triplets."
The stay-at-home dad has a background in fine arts, which has helped him come up with creative solutions to keep the tantrums at bay, even if he says his kids are very well-behaved.
Understandably so, the photo has gone viral. Many parents wishing they had come up with the idea themselves, and sooner!
White says that the foam boards only took him five minutes to install, too.
Of course, parenting the triplets still has its challenges.
But with ideas like this, Jake and his wife are sure to have a much easier time than other parents!
