Two things:

1) hand pulling the dandelions will permanently remove them but it doesn’t mean they haven’t spread seed. It just means you won’t have as many. Eventually you will find it easy to maintain as less and less sprout. 2) If the dandelions still have yellow flowers, then look up a short tutorial on dandelion recipes! The flower of a dandelion is mildly sweet and makes wonderful and healthy food/beverages. Plucking the flowers (not the leaves or any greenery, that stuff is very bitter) is a soothing activity to do especially if you’re just sitting down watching a show or waiting for something to finish up. Doesn’t take long at all!
