Hi, guys, welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be showing you the worst
mom hacks that I found online. Now, I've making mom hacks videos here on YouTube for the past
five years, and while I been planning or researching those videos, I have come across a few very
strange mom hacks and I really wanted to share them with you and hopefully make you laugh
the way that these made me laugh when I found them.
So obviously, take this video with a pinch of salt. Disclaimer, I would not actually
recommend doing these things, but I really wanted to just share them with you because
I found them so funny. And weirdly, a couple of them did actually work. But anyway, I hope
you like this slightly different, slightly random video and thank you so much for watching,
and I'll see you in my next one. Bye, guys. This first hack is for those of us that have
very clingy children. It's lovely to be needed and wanted by our kids, but sometimes we do
have to go. We might have to work or want to have some me time and it can be so horrible
when they cry and they're clingy and they just don't want us to leave. So, what you
can do is get yourselves some masks printed of your face or why not get a life-sized cutout
and then also grab something that smells like you, maybe makes them think of you like my
pink dressing gown. Then just dress up your spouse or whoever's going to be doing the
childcare, and they probably won't even notice.
Hi, sweetie. Hi.
Who's that? Okay.
Oh, my bubba. Hey, big boy. [inaudible 00:01:37]
Guys, this one actually kind of works. It was so weird. He was cuddling into him and
he didn't mind me leaving. And if you're sick of constantly dusting and mopping your floor,
what you can do is get these microfiber dust slippers. Stylish or what? I found them on
Amazon. You can just slip these onto your feet and onto the kids' feet and then you
could chill out with a coffee or look at your phone while you just spray this stuff on the
floor and let the kids do the hard work. Although my kids like most veggies, broccoli
is one they're not that keen on, and I struggled to get them to try. So, if your kids are the
same, this hack might be for you and this was a genuine hack that I found. For it, you'll
need sprinkles and icing, and it recommended dipping my broccoli into the icing and then
into the sprinkles like that, and then serving this to my kids to get them to eat some veggies.
I mean, what on earth? But Fraser was actually pretty excited about this.
Mom, can I have a drink? Mom, can I have a drink?
Are you sick of constantly fetching drinks for your children? Well, if you are, why not
get one of these beer hats or drink hats and fill them up with water or juice or whatever
your children like to drink, and then just stick this on their head and they will have
a constant supply of drink, and they won't have to keep shouting at you and asking you
for it, and they will be well-hydrated. Okay. Right, time to get dressed. I've asked you
a million times.
Mom!
Come on. Let's get you dressed. Fraser! If you children hate to get dressed in the morning,
why not try and get them into their full uniform after bath time at night when they're more
relaxed, and then just put them to bed in their uniform, and then in the morning they'll
be good to go. Fraser? C'mon. Time to get in the car. Go [inaudible 00:04:05] in the
car.
Okay.
Let's go. And if you're sick of doing all the cleaning at home, why not get some help
with the bathroom tiles from your kids? Just take some baking soda, mix it with water so
it's a bit of a paste, and put it onto your tiles. Then give your kids some old toothbrushes
and get them to really get in, scrub that while it's also bath time. You're killing
two birds with one stone and your tiles will be nice and clean, and it's all natural.

They actually like it! And if you can't be bothered to read your children some bedtime
stories, then why not just record yourself reading them on a voice note on your phone,
and then just play that to them at bedtime. You can get on with stuff that you want to
do, and they've still heard a story.
