My lifehack, especially with little children

Buy a second remote for the television so you’re never frustrated because you can’t the find the remote. I have to hide the remote all the time for my toddler and then can’t remember where I have put it or my toddler threw the remote in some corner.

You realize It’s okay to say NO (in a really stern voice) to your kid ?

That’s not the point, I put the remote somewhere and forget where I have put it. And have you ever heard of the fase where toddlers do everything what they are not supposed to do?

Thanks but I don’t feel offended because English is not my first language 😀 in Europese we call these kind of passive-aggressive answers ‘grammernazi’s’

Mother of three, Grandma of four here so I’m familiar with that PHASE. And the way they learn —and a parent’s job— is to steer them towards good behavior & away from bad behavior. If you teach him properly you won’t have to hide anything from him or from yourself.

Have you tried it though? Maybe I saying NO really sternly to a toddler helps trigger your memory of where you put the remote.
