'My son is obsessed with McDonald's – so I came up with perfect parenting hack'
It's undoubtable for parents to often cave whenever their kids ask for something slightly unreasonable. There are certain parenting tips that can make your life a lot easier, but now one mum has certainly sussed it and people are impressed.
Posting on TikTok, Caitlin and Leah, who often share parenting tips with their 9.7million followers, came up with a genius trick to spoil their McDonald's obsessed son. In a recent clip, which racked up 224,000 likes, Caitlin claimed the couple had been spending a fortune on feeding their boy burgers and fries from the iconic chain, until she found a clever way to disguise it.
The clip shows a voiceover which says: "Our son is absolutely obsessed with McDonald's and it's costing us a fortune.
"So I've decided to make my own and disguise it. I really hope he doesn't notice."
The video then starts with Caitlin sneaking into the kitchen and claiming one of the McDonald's bags that was put in the bin. After, the mum pours a portion of fries into the airfryer before rustling up a burger of her own.
Once it's all cooked, she places the bits into the McDonald's packaging. Her final mission is to carefully place it all in the bag before giving it to her son for him to enjoy.
Finally, you can hear Caitlin's son getting excited after seeing his McDonald's delivery.
He says: "It's McDonald's. Want it want it. Want my burger burger. I love it! I love McDonald's. I love you darling."
The video was shared with the caption: "I think we've found a new parenting hack. Let's hope he doesn't start to notice."
Since it was posted on TikTok, it garnered a lot of attention from others praising the smart hack.
One joked: "Unfortunately he's going to notice... the food is actually warm for once." Another added: "He's so cute at the end." Meanwhile others mentioned Caitlin could easily tell her son "no".
A person commented: "Just refuse the McDonald's, it's not that hard." Caitlin and Leah are an LGBTQ+ couple who often share a glimpse into their marriage and life as parents.

Woman buys £2 leggings on Vinted and is astounded when they arrive
A woman who ordered three pairs of leggings for just £6 on second-hand clothing website, Vinted, has claimed she was left baffled by what she reportedly received There's nothing like that feeling of ordering something online after admiring it for a while, waiting for it to arrive, and ripping open the parcel to see it in person for the first time. While it typically involves a lot of excitement, unfortunately there is the odd occasion when shoppers are left puzzled by what they have received. One shopper claims she was was left with a fright after opening up a Vinted parcel. The woman was browsing the second-hand selling app - where people often flog unwanted items for bargain prices - and spotted three pairs of leggings for £6 in total. Knowing she was unlikely to find brand new pairs of leggings for £2 apiece anywhere else, the buyer purchased them from the seller - who has a five-star rating on the app. The story was outlined in a clip shared to the popular TikTok page, Depop Drama. The narrator of the video said: "This girl bought some TikTok leggings for £6, but wait until you see what she received instead - I am absolutely lost for words." The shopper reportedly opened up her parcel to find a statue of a human skull inside, complete with a frog on top. "It's safe to say the skull looks nothing like these leggings," added the TikToker. "The interesting thing about this is that the seller has five star reviews - and 22 of them, so I'm not too sure what's happened here." He added: "So as you can see, the Vinted seller has sent it off with Royal Mail and I've since spoken to the buyer and she still hasn't received a refund." The TikToker claimed the buyer had contacted Vinted about her predicament but, at the time the video was posted, had not received a reply. "No way, why?" commented one shocked TikTok user. Others joked that they would have been happy to receive the skull. "I would have been been happier with the skull," said one. "I'd rather have the skull," joked another. One other wrote: "I'd be so happy with that, my room has so many so I'd happily add that to my collection." What happens if you receive the wrong item If you receive the wrong item from a Vinted seller, you should report the issue to the company and the seller as soon as possible. You can do so by pressing the 'I have an issue' button in the conversation with the seller. You will need to provide photographic evidence of the item being incorrect. If you purchased an item and you think it is significantly different to how it was described, you can suspend the order and submit a refund request, under our the buyer protection and refund policy.

YouTube videos of life on Gloucestershire farm keeping it afloat
A beef farmer who uploads videos to YouTube every evening has said the channel is keeping his business Pullen, whose family have been in farming since the early 17th Century, now has 46,000 subscribers to his Farmer P channel, with each video making up to £100. Mr Pullen began documenting life on the Gloucestershire farm so that his late mother Jean Pullen, whom he affectionately calls "The Dragon", could watch from hospital during the fans now watch over supper – and some, he said, have even sent him love letters. He said he dare not mention running out of anything for fear of parcels arriving the next day. The father-of-four, of Bradley Farm in Wotton-under-Edge, said: "We started the YouTube channel with the farm about five or six years ago. "It's just an open diary of daily life on the farm and what we do. It seems quite a few people like to follow along and see what is going on. "It means they know how we rear and raise our stuff, and I think that is one of the reasons we are popular... folks know how we do it." The videos go up at 18:00 each day. "People organise their evenings to watch it," said Mr Pullen, who can often be seeing riding in his tractor with dog Biskit. "We have subscribers who have their supper at six o'clock now so they can sit and join us to have their supper. It's a mad world."An average video could make £100. It's one of those things where the farm is not really making any income now, and to be honest YouTube is keeping us going."Without it I think we would struggle now to actually survive as a farm." Mr Pullen inherited the farm business from his father in 1993, by which time he was also running a tree surgery company, which is still in business daughter Holli also helps by making bread and using beef from the farm's Dexter cattle to make pies, which he said she posts to customers around the country.
