The US-based mum captioned her “Confessions of a mom” and said her first tip is to tell her kids the swings are broken when they go to the park. 

She explained: “We came here to get your energy out, not mine.”

The second tip related to the dreaded bedtime, and she said: “Sometimes when I read my kids bedtimes stories I grab three pages instead of one.

“They can’t read and big mama’s tired.”

She said that she sometimes avoids pushing her kids in the swings as it tires her out, not them

Her next genius hack related to her love of fizzy drinks, with the mum saying: “Sometimes I pour Dr Pepper in a cup and tell my kids it’s water.

“I am responsible for their health. And mine too but that ship has sailed.”

Her last tip in the video was about what to do if you have no cash available for the tooth fairy.

Tamara said: “Sometimes when my daughter loses a tooth and there is no cash in the house I take a dollar from her piggy bank.

“I made her so it kind of all evens out in the end.”
