      I would have liked to tell my ultra-handy dad the story of stripping screws, missing studs, mis-sized pilot holes, etc. We could have traded DIY war stories.

      I actually avoid drilling anchors for things like bookshelves into studs. Stud anchoring feels a bit too heavy duty to me, so I rely on overloading lower shelves, and drywall anchors... and generally going for shorter furniture.

      unfortunately it was necessary for these (allegedly), they are to prevent or I guess at least slow the disaster that ensues if a child climbs the bookcase

      I had actually never used a drill to attach anything to the wall before! for everything else I cheat and use several large removable 3M Command hooks, canvas hangers, or velcro strips

      Is this like a girl hack or something? My wife uses command strips so much I make jokes about her trying to cure cancer with them.

      haha maybe. @diviacaroline is a fan too. I have unpacked several large ziploc bags of our hooks and this place will start to feel like home once I start tossing 'em up

      Yeah I use command hooks and strips a lot... but I have drilled into both the drywall with anchors and the studs pretty often too.
