CINCINNATI -- The terrible twos are bad enough for any parent, but imagine dealing with three times the tantrums. 

That's Tri-State dad Jake White's daily reality as the stay-at-home father of toddler triplets. His simple hack for calming his rambunctious children has gone viral after he posted to Facebook Sept. 27, attracting thousands of shares and articles on BuzzFeed News and Today.com. Check it out in the box below.

“Stella, Jude, and Xavier, our 2-year-olds, were stealing each other’s snacks and water bottles,” White told BuzzFeed News. “So, to me it was clear they needed some personal space.”

It appears White has gotten some social media backlash for not using rear-facing car seats. Another post on his Facebook page showing how he keeps tabs on all three while out and about is sure to raise some eyebrows among child leash-haters everywhere.
