Inspired by the baby at the Mikvah thread.

I will share first.

I keep a potty in the back of my minivan. I line it with the cheap fruit store bags with the green writing-they don’t have holes. I also have a bunch extra, tissues, a bottle of sink water (no need for poland springs) and Purell. At the end of the day, if it was used once or 6 times, it gets washed, but the bag actually keeps it clean and dry between users and as it lives in my car the rest of the day.
If someone needs to pee (or even move their bowels) there is a car toilet. You can keep a towel there to use as a curtain, for privacy too.

I myself have used it more than once. When we have gone blueberry picking, I assure you it is quite preferable to the public Porto-potty with the flys.

Please share your hacks for all aspects of parenting.

When coming home late to a house full, phone some of the kids on the way home so they can get stuff off their chest (tell you about their day) while you commute.
makes walking in the door so much less overwhelming when I've already listened to 3 kids!

Tell tell tell kids in advance. Period.

Also dont commit unless you fully know you can.
Wel try and I hope are options.

Cereal is a valid dinner.

All good moms have mom guilt--don't get a complex about it, and have confidence in yourself.

Try not to take anything tweens-teens say to you personally.
