Getting time to yourself as a mother is not something you get in abundance. 

But it is certainly something that you strive for as a mother. 

Making sure you have time to take care of your mental health, or clean the house, or just time to chill out is vital. As much as it is not always possible, it is something we have to figure out on our own. 

Well, apparently not so much. Turning to TikTok allows you to share in your discoveries with other mothers. 

And it definitely helps give other moms ideas on how they can get some peaceful time into their daily routines. 

One mother has shared her most amazing discovery when it comes to reserving some time for herself to clean.

The video post attracted some humourous commentary. With one user saying: "If you close it & put a stamp on it.. u might get a lifetime of free time yk." 

KaYLA: "Mine would draw on themselves and leave the box spotless" 

Ceres: "I tried this and silly me thinking he was inside the box I go back 1min later to check on him, and pff he was writing all over my walls"
