This Dad Of Triplets Came Up With A GENIUS Way To Stop His Kids From Fighting

Katie Mythen-Lynch

If your kids turn into monsters the second the car doors close, this one’s for you. 

Dad-of-triplets Jake White came up with a clever way of keep backseat squabbling to a minimum.

When his children’s bickering became too much for one man to handle on a daily basis, the inventive Ohio native popped a large piece of cardboard between each car seat, effectively separating his two sons and daughter from each other.

White, who lives in Ohio, told Buzz Feed: “Stella, Jude, and Xavier, our 2-year-olds, were stealing each other’s snacks and water bottles. So, to me it was clear they needed some personal space.”

“I’m always using creative solutions,” he said. “You have to when you are outnumbered.”

The resourceful dad shared an image of his in-car solution on Facebook, where it has been shared thousands of times, earning the praise of parents all over the world.

As Jenny Schafer Schwartz said: “OMG I need to do this for my 13 year old triplets!”
