Don't give your kids velcro shoes after about age three. Deal with teaching them to tie them for a few months. No, it's not convenient, but you're doing it for them, not you.
All of parenting - especially the difference between good parents and bad parents - summed up in a single sentence.
3? Lol, we know you don't have children.
I am pretty sure I struggled with that until middle school 💀
I mean, I could do it, but slowly, with a lot of conscious thinking.
And honestly, I still don't know to do it the "correct" way. I mean, bunny ears seem to work just fine anyway.
There is no incorrect way. The typical shoelace knot is actually just a square knot, but one where you make the second part out of two loops (bights) rather than the standing ends. What technique you use to arrive there is completely irrelevant as long as the end result is the same.
(You could use a traditional square knot instead if you really wanted to, but it would be annoying to untie.)
Go fisherman's knot lol.
I'd guess most people tend to tie grannies rather than squares just because you tend to repeat which hand is wrapping which strand over the other.
I was in my 30s when I learned that I needed to go overhand one way then over the other way. Really embarrassing because I had known how to use a square knot since I was 10.
"Left over-and-under right and pull ends tight, then right loop over-and-under left loop, pull both loops tight" was the way I learned. It's just the entire 'letting go then pulling thru' that broke my brain when I was a little kid. Also, fuck Asics, some of their laces won't stay tied unless you epoxy the knot.
easier said than done, but you need to change the way you think about it. don't think about the "steps"; think about why you're taking them. goes for everything else, too. i'm in my forties and i still find times i'm just following "steps" and not considering why.
Bunny ears or a variant thereof is usually more stable anyway. I taught myself a new better way to tie my shoes at 30 something. Now I no longer need to double knot themand they always come undone easily by pulling the ends. Previously, knotting them the way my parents taught, my knots always came undone and the loops didn't lay flat on either side (getting skewed to up and down my foot/leg).
They taught you to tie a granny knot instead of a square. So did my mom, or she just didn't care likely. I was also in my thirties when I realized it should be a square knot for the base.
come on! it's a lot easier to not toilet-train your kids if you can afford all the diapers
