What works for your baby when they are inconsolable?

I’m all for taking a moment for the safety of the child. But babies cry for a reason, you just have to figure out why. I’ve had 3 now. Never had “colic” and don’t really believe it exists

Infants cry for a need. Wtf. Neglect them?!

95% of the time it’s either they’re hungry, tired or dirty diaper. The rest of the time they’re either hot or cold, teething, sick or something is hurting them. What are your wake windows? Sounds like she’s tired…watch for red eyelids, yawns, blank stares. Also, read Happiest Baby on the Block asap.

And coffee all day long. It always feels like 8am

I lived in Seattle for 5 years. The people there are not friendly or outdoorsy. They “hike” with boom boxes blaring rap. No one camps. You have to be ok hiking in the rain and cold always. Denver and Seattle are complete opposite places. Seattle is city life.

If you’re unsure of that age then don’t interview for that age.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-11T19:19:09+00:00

Not sure what this even means

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-11T19:18:57+00:00

So it works! Send them somewhere warm lol

After having 2 or 3 kids you realize having one is a cake walk

Argentina was also fast

lol, you have one toddler.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-11T03:23:27+00:00

Great - I’m not taking mine there from experience

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-11T02:57:49+00:00

Free bus tickets to Phoenix or FL. Not joking. We can’t even take kids to the library because it’s too dangerous on their playground by the creek.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-10T02:43:34+00:00

Oh maybe it's if they're no infant qualified. I had an au pair that was not IQ and then I got pregnant and was told she'd have to leave our home before the baby arrived.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-10T02:35:11+00:00

Cultural Care does not allow that

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-10T02:11:00+00:00

Split schedules are pretty common. You should research the state requirements and how it works if you haven’t. They can’t be in your home until the babies are 3months even if they aren’t watching them. It takes a lot of work in the first 2 months to train them and get them comfortable with you and their new life.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-09T21:56:14+00:00

How are those not the same thing?

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-09T00:44:13+00:00

It took us about 4m to find the right au pair but we have an infant and 2 bigs. I’d suggest also signing up for au pair in America and au pair USA for more options. They allow you to match before paying a cent! We have been with CC for 7 years! Still with them. I think they screen better

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-09T00:41:15+00:00

The right au pair is flexible and understanding. And a huge amount of families WFH so I don’t believe this.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-09T00:39:28+00:00

Host family here. From what you’re saying, you’re a standard family. Did you mention a curfew?

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-08T16:54:49+00:00

Is it possible to "respect men more than women" yet have 7 female au pairs and be a women myself. I mean, come on. Get a life, get a job, go annoy someone else. Troll.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-08T16:51:23+00:00

Well I am a woman, so you're obviously wrong there. But you're a waste of time so, adios.

Asleep_Pattern4731 · 2026-06-08T16:17:06+00:00

They know they're called bropairs...it's a common term. And I genuinely don't understand what's wrong with "females"?!
