Here's how we solved the endless nighttime toothpaste battle among the children:
Four tubes of toothpaste = 1 per kid. And not one of those tubes belong to anyone. They have to share all of them. :)
It's been working!
In the past, either someone wouldn't share, someone wouldn't be patient, or the "kid" toothpaste was lost somewhere {where could it go? under the sink? in the dryer? stranger things have been found there!}.
They say pick your battles, and so far I'd say buying toothpaste in bulk and using them all at the same time was a battle won. ;)
How do you do the toothpaste thing with multiple kids?
Any ideas on how to get kids to brush longer?
I try to tell them to sing the ABC's 3x, and then they start singing out loud and spit toothpaste everywhere and laugh like it's the most hilarious thing ever. :P
