  • Bathroom Wars: Survival Tips for Moms of Three Girly Gals

    Bathroom Wars: Survival Tips for Moms of Three Girly Gals
    Published Nov 19, 2023
    Hey there, fellow moms of the world! If you're like me and find yourself refereeing what I like to call the "Bathroom Wars" among your three spirited princesses, fear not. I'm here to drop some sassy wisdom on how to navigate the chaos when your bathroom turns into a beauty battleground. Let the sharing (and occasional squabbling) commence!

    Create a Schedule, Darling: In the world of girls, timing is everything. Set up a bathroom schedule so that each of your lovely ladies gets their fair share of primping and preening time. This way, there'll be fewer screams of "She's taking too long!" echoing through your home. Trust me; it's the closest thing to world peace you'll get.

    Organize Like a Boss: To avoid makeup brushes mysteriously disappearing or hair ties staging a rebellion, invest in some cute organizers. It's the perfect way to make sure every lip gloss and hair accessory has its designated spot. Plus, it adds a touch of glam to the bathroom – a sanctuary amidst the chaos.

    Double Up on Products: In a bathroom shared by three young fashionistas, a surplus of beauty products is a must. Stock up on essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It'll save you from hearing, "Mom, she used all the conditioner!" Just accept it; you're now the proud owner of a mini beauty supply store.

    Install a Mirror System: Avoid the morning mirror showdowns by installing multiple mirrors. Girls need to ensure they look flawless from every angle, after all. Having multiple mirrors can be a game-changer, and it might even speed up the process. The more mirrors, the merrier – that's the new golden rule.

    Institute the "Knock First" Policy: Privacy is a hot commodity when you have a trio of daughters vying for the bathroom spotlight. Teach them the sacred art of knocking before entering. It's not just a courtesy; it's a survival skill for every girl who wants to protect her secrets, be it a secret journal or a secret hairstyle in progress.

    Celebrate Personal Styles: Embrace the diversity in your household by celebrating each girl's unique style. Whether one is a makeup maestro, another a hair aficionado, and the third a minimalist beauty, let them express themselves. It fosters individuality and minimizes bathroom drama – a win-win for everyone involved.

    Invest in Earplugs (for You): Let's be real; harmonious bathroom sharing is an elusive dream. Invest in some stylish earplugs for those times when the decibel level of sisterly debates becomes too much. A moment of peace for you, a moment of bonding for them – it's the ultimate bathroom compromise.

    So, there you have it, my fellow moms navigating the treacherous waters of the shared bathroom battlefield. Remember, in this wild world of hairdryers, makeup brushes, and teenage drama, a sassy attitude, a touch of organization, and a solid dose of humor are your greatest allies. May your bathroom be a place of fabulousness and laughter amidst the occasional bathroom skirmish! You've got this, momma!
