If You Drink It at All
The silence you hear when your kids are asleep is the calm before the storm. Don’t try to make a cup of tea or coffee during these moments. As soon as you’ve steeped your drink, your kid will take it as their cue to shriek their head off. How they know when to wake up and cry from the other side of the house is beyond us.

By the time you calmed them down, gotten their lunch ready, burped them, then put them back to bed, only then can you return to your steaming hot mug of java. Oh, wait, it’s not steaming hot anymore. How long were you away? Four hours?! Unintentional iced coffee it is, then.
