We Found The Ultimate TikTok Parent Hack for Eating Out With Kids ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ

This TikToker clearly knows a thing or two about eating out with little children, who will refuse to sit still, need the toilet every 20 minutes, pour your chapman down their freshly-changed t-shirt, and eat all your chips with zero remorse. (Do I sound bitter? Iโ€™m a struggling mum.)

But we may just have found a hack to help when next youโ€™re out on a family date. @momlikeaboss_ says as a parent, you need to pack a little bag with a pre-meal snack, so avoid any kind of hangry-ness, a doodle board (feel free to ditch the iPad, you know, reduced screen time and all that?), a fidget toy for fun, and a silicone topper that can turn any cup into a sippy cup, amongst a few other helpful knick-knacks. Brethren, this is a survival kit for you BOTH.

Parents โ€” mostly mums, tbh โ€” took to the comments to give some additional tips, like:

  • โ€œAlso when ordering the kids food, we have it sent with the appetizers, so the kids can eat first and we end up having a hot meal as well afterwards.โ€

  • โ€œI do a small metal lunch box w/the packs of coloring paper, crayons, and stickers included. I also add a toy and a couple of magnets. Keeps them busy.โ€

  • โ€œWe grab fast food on our way to the restaurant and give it to them there while we wait for our waiter/order. Saves us so much meltdowns.โ€

Going out to eat with little ones is often not the easiest thing, but it can be a fun and rewarding experience for them (and you too). My tip? Have as much support as you can get โ€” spouse, nanny, grandparent, aunty, etc. โ€” and prepare to really engage with them during that time, to get the best out of your time together.

Youโ€™re most likely not going to be able to go on an Instagram binge the whole time, but thatโ€™s okay; reward yourself with a solo date a few days later ๐Ÿ˜‰
