Parenting multiple kids often feels like playing referee in a never-ending game of “That’s mine!” But one clever mom, Amanda Lee from Ohio, may have just cracked the code with a simple color-coded cup system that’s taken the internet by storm.
Amanda, a mom of four, noticed daily arguments erupting over water cups.
“They’d each grab a cup and forget whose was whose. By noon, there were 10 cups in the sink,” she said.

Frustrated, Amanda bought reusable cups in different colors—one for each child—and assigned them their own color. Suddenly, the chaos disappeared.
“No more fights, fewer dishes, and the kids take responsibility,” Amanda shared in her now-viral TikTok.
Thousands of parents commented in awe, calling it “genius,” “life-saving,” and “the kind of mom wisdom we all need.”
Amanda’s takeaway?
“Sometimes the best parenting hacks are the simplest. Color saved my sanity!”
