When the [Work From Home]( era began, many of us got excited at the possibility of being able to maybe, juuuust maybe, keep our home a little [cleaner]( by doing some [sprucing up]( in between productivity sprints. But alas, reality has set in. Instead, there’s the constant distraction of messes that need to be cleaned up, items that aren’t where they should be, piles upon piles of stuff that seem to appear out of nowhere. All of this goes double for WFH folks with kids. And being more aware of clutter is no doubt one of the main reasons why cleaning hacks are all the rage on social media. Besides the fact that there’s just something so primally satisfying about watching stain removal. One super easy hack, created by a mom and therapist who goes by [@aestetically_ally_ on TikTok](, is being hailed as the “ultimate” decluttering method, particularly for moms. (But really, this could work for anyone). [Read the story]( [New 'empty-nester' dad has a bittersweet realization when he goes shopping without kids]( "It hit me really hard."

User u/takeme2themtns recently shared a nightmare travel story in the r/Delta subreddit: Stories of "entitled parents" desperately trying to get other passengers to switch seats go viral all the time. But a recent thread on Reddit shows why we don't always get the full story. "In typical Delta fashion, they just switched up our seats and placed my toddler in a row away from us," they wrote. "Booked three seats ... in comfort plus months ago. Now, several hours before the flight we get notifications that our seats have changed.
