Hey there, parents of >1 young children! Want a lifehack that you’ll thank yourself for in 10 years? It’s really simple:

1. Get a toiletries caddy – the kind you might get for a summer camp
2. Put your toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, and anything else you can use outside the bathroom in it. If you have more than one shower in your house, put your shampoo and conditioner in it too.
3. Make a place for the caddy in your room. Carry it into and out of the bathroom with you.
4. Having set this example, as your kids get old enough to brush their teeth etc., buy them their own caddy and have them do the same thing.

Normalize this this early; don’t put it off until your kids are teens and think it’s weird. The amount of ultradramatic bathroom contention this will save during the teen years is easily worth a little bit of extra habit now.
