Bonus Points.... maybe they will let you take their picture without a Peace Sign, Bunny Ears or slumped over their phone.
Two Tween Girls Call me Mom. On a Good Day. I love them. I made them. Nothing prepared me for this stage of life. They are GREAT kids. Smart, Strong and absolutely willing to stand their ground for what they call " living hate crimes " ( people who are racist, discriminate against special needs people etc. ) While it is never easy to navigate the teen years here are 10 products I buy, try and own from Amazon Prime under $10 that make life just a wee bit easier.
All of these pieces are on ShopLuLu with a Link right to Prime.
There is no shame in my hustle game I need to disclose that I do get paid to share these products with you.
Headphone Splitter in Rose Gold
Genius Little Invention for the rare moment that they want to watch something together but more likely when they are with their friends and want to watch videos together
These were necessary because my kids ruined my favorite Wonder Woman Mug with their slime creations and my food containers are all covered in glitter
My kids are famous for opening a bag of cereal and just shoving it back in the box. We are on at least our 8th round of these tiny stapler looking heat sealing machines. When pressed the end filament gets hot enough to melt the bag back together like it is factory sealed. These little gizmo has so many uses. If we are traveling I take a baggie for our daily pills and make little sections. It really is a handy little machine. We drop them a lot for some reason so we have worked through a bunch but they really are a must have.

Have a Noise Sensitive Child ?
My oldest has Aspergers. She wears these on the bus. It's nice because since they are clear ( the cords pull out ) they are harder for the other kids to see. They come in a little pocket sized carrying tube.
Until I had a system all of those first day papers like lunch numbers, locker combinations and bus assignments were lost in the pile on my desk. I adopted a habit of having one file for each child and this folder has 5 pockets. I do school, doctor, sports, and then leave the back two for awards and keepsakes then file them away. Each new school year I buy a new file system for each child. If I ever need to go back, I know exactly where I can find what I need.
I guess I am a bit of an Assh*le Mom
Butt there are some days, that I really wonder if they use soap when they shower and even grosser, they share a shower so who knows what they do in there. I feel like this double sided soap makes it pretty clear.
The Creepy Baby Hand is a Must Own !
We spend hours entertaining ourselves with the Creepy Baby Hand making videos all over NYC. Seriously, some days we laugh so hard I pee. It's so much fun to mess around with - Play the little video, it's hours of silly fun.

The feet come in a pair, luckily you get a left foot and a right foot.
The Coolest Beach Toy at Night
While it takes a bit of getting used to, and I would NOT recommend it for little kids, and WATCH YOUR HAIR. This little guy looks super fun on the beach in the dark.
