[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On vacation, I sleep in workout clothes.  When one kid wakes up, I can quickly get him/her out of the room before he/she wakes up the rest of the family.

Put kids plates/cups/bowls in a low cabinet -- they can get themselves food and drinks, help set the table and help unload the dishwasher when they are as young as 3.

Keep a collapsible storage bin from ikea in the hallway outside the kids' rooms for all the unmatched socks that come out of the dryer.  When it gets full or we run out of socks, we have a matching party where we dump them all out and the kids search for matches.  Sometimes I offer to pay them a nickel a match.  Good for math skills too.  I don't know why I didn't do this a long time ago, as the number of unmatched socks just drives me totally bonkers and I never knew where to put them until the other sock showed up.

Different solution to the sock problem:

Buy each kid their own color socks (for me, the older boy has gray, the younger has navy).  Multi-packs that don't have different colored stripes can be hard to find, but most places sell individual pair and when they are on sale, I buy a dozen.  Easy to sort sized and match...  When one gets lost or holey it doesn't matter as there are 23 more that are exactly the same...[/quote]

I do this for adult socks. My DH and I essentially wear the same size men's socks, so it's easier to buy plain men's black socks or white workout socks. [/quote]
