I traded my kids away for 3 blocks, 2 chargers. Best deal I ever made.

I hope they’re enjoying their life, where ever they are.

That thing is only useful if the "slots" are large enough to allow cases on the devices.

Hell I did this with my wife and daughter because I kept finding my chargers mysteriously disappearing. Nothing like debating a nine year old about how I “borrowed” her iPad charger that she found plugged into my power strip on my night stand that’s literally been there for her entire life.

You don’t have to use the slots. Plus they make dozens of variations. That was the first one google showed. Ours is different

My daughter's bedroom is a black hole of Apple chargers. She knows not to touch the ones in our bedroom, but if she finds one somewhere else in the house, it's hers and it disappears in her bedroom. Last time I went hunting for one, I found 6 in her bedroom.

Yeap. My work gave me a free iPhone and pays the monthly bill. I said no sir and refused it. I purchased my own phone out of pocket and have to pay my cell bill but at least I’m not a sheep! Right dumbass??

Buy Anker brand, you can get ones that charge faster, have multiple ports etc and still cost a little less while being well made.

Wife will still lose them just as quick, but the multiple color options can help distinguish them from each other.

I went to Lowes and bought a 110 outlet with 2 USB ports on it. Swapped it for the one on my counter, problem solved

Got a ton of cords at the house and replaced a lot of the normal power outlets with ones that included USB ports.

Switch a couple outlets out to the type with the usb outlets built in. I have one on either side of our island and each kid has a 6 foot cable for their device.

Easy fix to this is buy enough blocks/cords for everyone to ha e their own. When someone asks to use your...nope, you have your own.

My wife is the absolute worst with chargers. She has several, but instead of keeping one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom, and one in the vehicle, she likes to move them all around and take the kitchen one in her purse "just in case". I've been fighting this fight for years and I've given up. I have to be a dick now and just not let her use my chargers because mine have been thrown in the purse "just in case" only to never be seen again.

This is literally what set me off last night. I get ‘my’ charger back from someone who didn’t want to give it up because they just plugged their phone in...then my 10yr old try’s to take it with some story about how it’s really hers....despite the braided dollar general 10ft cord that no one but myself would have ever bought.

Chargers are a constant fight in my house. Last Christmas I bought everyone 3 dual connection blocks and 2 6ft, 3ft, and 10ft cables.

My kid has had to buy 2 blocks in the past year and replace her 10 foot cables because she lost all of them.

I'm a dick, if she tells me she can't find something, and I look for it and find it, she has to pay me $5 of her allowance.

That put a quick end to all the "hey, where is the remote/charger/other necessary bullshite I don't feel like looking for" that she hit me with daily.

I am a high maintenance individual and ensuring I have my devices charged and several chargers handy is key to making sure I don't lose my mind during the work day. People who can't keep their devices charged stress me out. Get your shite together people.

If the phones are older with shitty batteries (like my iPhone 7), maybe look at the iPhone cases with the extra battery built in. I charge mine overnight and and that’s the phone itself & 2 full charges. Best $25 I ever spent.

Also Amazon has a combo back with 5 generekc charger cords of different length. It’s like $15. A 10ft phone charger is a game changer

Everyone at my house has their own color charging cables.

Makes life easier.

I have a wireless charger next to my bed. I have to really wear the net out in a day to need more charging.
