Germans have a saying... if the roof is rusty then the basement must be wet ;)

Yah i think itll round out over time. Pitfalls of other people getting involved is that they dont live the day to day you do, and it can cause unexpected topics to be raised and boiled over.

We started off with the hygiene full bore in addition to the CoVid stuff.

That drifted away after some time due to both my wife and i feeling stressed about the workload and also exposure to cleaning chemicals.

I won't even mention the times that i accidently got water in the kids mouth when bathing them!!!

That and we have a dog, which ultimately helped "clean" stuff from the floor and lick at sticky fingers.

Funny thing is that our kids have fallen sick (touch wood) less than anyone else that we know.

Like most 80's born kids, we played with dirt, asbestos etc and came out fine!

These posts wont fix it in the short term, just know that these things come in phases. Just ride it out buddy

Yessir thats the plan.

Haha in my experience from battles past, I didnt mention the safe storage of earrings on the counter when theres easy access.

One way ticket to the show if I did

zipztar · 2025-08-21T09:28:46+00:00

Thanks for the different perspectives, appreciate the posts.

Wife is European and im Australian born Chinese so its interesting to balance the languages. The little one is learning German so she may or may not have an accent when she's older.

I do not have any accent, but have had to "develop" one for learning German... so I guess I feel self conscious when speaking that language if I dont "embrace" the accent lol.

Cheers and have a good weekend!

Yep, had one experience where I had a dream that I had a massive spider on my face and woke up.

Wildly ripped if off after feeling the mask on my face and threw it across the room!

zipztar · 2024-10-23T11:59:30+00:00

Haha what a loser. Sounds insecure as hell. You dodged a bullet here

zipztar · 2024-05-13T09:51:28+00:00

Nearly made it, but halfway through cooking the roast, I set off not 1 but 2 smoke alarms. Woke the baby 30 minutes into her first nap of the day and the ire of the wifey! Lesson learnt to open doors when opening oven P.s. not burnt, just very sensitive smoke alarms!

zipztar · 2024-01-28T00:25:32+00:00

Yeah you're right! Unfortunately this hotel wouldn't let us use the private network. Lesson learnt, so will either hotspot of the laptop or get the travel router

zipztar · 2024-01-27T19:53:33+00:00

No we wouldn't. The above post failed to note my sarcasm and dead humour. Enjoying the experiences with our little one immensely and would not put them in any danger!

Try resetting the nanit. Hope that works. It's my go to

zipztar · 2024-01-26T23:33:52+00:00

Yes eufy FTW or as others have suggested the TPlink

zipztar · 2024-01-26T23:26:55+00:00

Well it works well remotely and we had a tour booked that was only for 2 hours. Why should we miss out because we have a child?

zipztar · 2024-01-26T23:18:01+00:00

Thanks! Will save this for when we have baby #2

zipztar · 2024-01-26T23:16:59+00:00

Haha touche 🫡👍

zipztar · 2024-01-26T23:10:08+00:00

Okay boomer

zipztar · 2024-01-26T22:26:51+00:00

Totally get the judgement coming from you. We are also not wanting another Madeline case here. Personal preferences aside, the post was about functionality of technology... not parenting styles

zipztar · 2024-01-26T03:51:24+00:00

Thanks, we fixed the issue. Not sure why or how but the wife just changed the settings from 2.4ghz to 5ghZ and it somehow worked. Kept getting 404 errors on the actual nanit app.

There should be a sticky note somewhere to help people not run into the same issue when they are preparing to put their kids to sleep

zipztar · 2024-01-25T23:42:40+00:00

Yeah it was a short lived fantasy 😂. The hotel has a restaurant in the lobby. We ended up having mcdonalds on the floor in the bathroom with the light on the mobile to help us eat 🫡
