Top 10 - Things whose use in children's life is soaring

Children change the lives of their parents - more than you think. Here is a look at items that are much more needed as parents or from which one consumes significantly more than in the time before the children.

The share of diapers in the amount of waste in some cities is up to 10 percent. Only when you have children, you can understand that. But many other items are needed much more often in a life with children than before. We can imagine that most experienced parents will knowingly nod their heads at this list. Here are our top 10 things, whose use increases dramatically through a life with children:

1. Diapers

2. Teaspoon and cake forks - each family set should contain twice that amount - and the dishwasher

3. Washing machine and dryer - first through the clothes of the child, then gradually the parents

4. Detergents and vacuum cleaners

5. Pavement - especially from the moment the children can ask for it

6. The fever thermometer and medication - at the latest with the start in nursery or kindergarten

7. Microwave - so that sometimes you can enjoy warm food and warm the porridge of the child quickly

8. The recording function of the TV recorder - because when you have time to watch TV, especially the child decides

9. Handkerchiefs, wet wipes, and kitchen towels - anything that can wipe dirt out of your face and hands if necessary

10. The photo function of the smartphone - that explains itself :-)

And beyond that, of course ... your own patience and ability to suffer ;-)
