"A day in the life of triplets."

Getting in the car with any kid can easily become an experiment in patience, but hopping in the car with triplets can be a nightmare. Especially if they're all two years old.

Dad-of-triplets Jake White reached his breaking point when it came to backseat car fights with his kids, so he devised and simple solution to stop the violence.

Using two pieces of large foam core, White was able to put a barrier between his three kids so that they could all enjoy their car ride in peace.

White shared the photo to his Facebook last week, which has since racked up 3,000 likes at the time of writing.

"No more car fighting," White wrote. "The guys at the drive-thru said it was genius."

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

Many people on Facebook approved of White's simple solution.

One mom even said she wanted to steal the idea for her teenage triplets.

"Being a triplet dad is a humorous adventure," White told Mashable. "Laughter is contagious and they have no choice but to go along with it."

“I am lucky to be able to hang out with the coolest kids,” White told BuzzFeed. “They make me laugh all day long with their willingness to go along with all of this dad’s ideas.”
