Freestyle Grocery Shopping
Navigate the aisles of a supermarket while pushing a shopping cart loaded with a 50-pound child, essential groceries like bread and milk, and a box of sugary cereal. All while evading precarious product displays. Bonus points if you actually remember to grab the milk, the main reason for your visit!
Water Sports
Convince your little one to enter the bath without a meltdown, while managing to keep the bathroom from turning into a swimming pool. Your goal is to achieve a clean kid without excessive fuss or complaints.
Morning Rush
Dress your child in matching clothes, ensure they’ve brushed their teeth and combed their hair, and get them fed—all within approximately five minutes. Each morning presents a whirlwind of chaos and stress, so efficiency is key.
Culinary Creativity
Whip up kid-approved meals on the fly, with alternative options ready for when your child’s whims change instantly. The challenge lies in being prepared for a sudden rejection of the meal they just requested.
Bedtime Battles
Successfully get your child to stay in bed with no more than six excuses for leaving their room after lights out. Requests for water, extra hugs, or searches for elusive stuffed animals will not be tolerated and may lead to disqualification.
Focused Driving
Safely operate your vehicle while juggling a staggering number of demands from your children that start the moment you turn the ignition key.
Telephone Challenge
Complete a phone call without being interrupted by your children or succumbing to distractions caused by them.
