My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

An "eat your veggies" compromise for parents

7 years ago

Hey parents of young kids who aren't a fan of eating their veggies for dinner… I think I have a good idea.


So once they start complaining … you say “Ok.. Ok… you can have your dessert… but… you have eat just one single green bean!”…. Once they agree… you slam one of these on their plate!!!!


Now depending on how old your kid is… you may have to also supply a steak knife along with it.


What do you think?
