Page 4 | Would you go next door if baby is in bed?

Next door neighbour has invited me a round for a glass of wine. DS will be in bed next door I have camera on his room so I can see him. Would you go or not? Or does it feel to much like a Madeline McCann situation. DS is 2

When we used to pop over to our neighbours we would put a travel cot up in one of the rooms. I couldn’t see the front door ro my house and I wouldn’t be able to hear her if she needed me. Even though I wasn’t far away I couldn’t get to her in the same way of her being in the same house.

Did you have a monitor that would reach?

Behindthescenesnow · 27/04/2024 23:04

@Roundandroundthegard3n that's been covered by the OP already.

OP can have wine alone on her own home....

I'd assume it's adult company?

So invite the neighbour round?

I see you've decided not to go but I was going to add no because cameras can freeze, I've had them to my phone, to an app and the actual 'baby' cams and at some point all have had a glitch.

Also god forbid you couldn't get back into the house. Really not worth it.

Circe7 · 27/04/2024 23:00

I wouldn’t do it because it’s probably illegal and I wouldn’t be able to relax but I suspect I take a higher risk every time my children cross a road or go to the park or get in a car.

@JKRIsRight please.don't bang my head against a brick wall, just do your own!

Hahaha, glad I riled someone up today, that's why I chose this username.
Sleep tight darling, here's a cuppa to relax.

small Attached houses and monitor that works then yes I personally would. Most people are terrible at understanding risk and the risk of a fire breaking out in your house during that exact 1 hr period you’re next door is so minuscule that if you really think that’s a threat then you shouldn’t allow your child to ride a bike, get in a car, cross a road, be near water etc etc

The voice of reason!

How desperate are you for wine that you'll leave your toddler unattended in the house?

@JKRIsRight as I've said.....

People can moderate their drinking, you may not drink because you feel you can't.

That's your issue.

Oh ffs it's like banging your head against a brick wall, I give up.
Good luck with your life.

Behindthescenesnow · 27/04/2024 22:55

@hourstokill I might read it, I love a story!

Was it fiction or non fiction?

Show quote history

i believe it was fiction... it was a good read to be honest, had a few twists and turns but basically mum and dad went next door for a party, left the baby (so not 2) asleep in its cot, and took the baby monitor with them.

JKRIsRight · 27/04/2024 22:53

Behindthescenesnow · 27/04/2024 22:46

@JKRIsRight do you know the OP personally? What a strange question, when you've been so judgemental and made assumptions.

Why do you assume "shit faced"?

Your issue with alcohol I assume ?

Alcoholic parent maybe?

Don't judge everyone by them.

I just don't understand why you are being so defensive of someone who is planning on leaving a vulnerable child alone in the house, touched a nerve?
No I never have been keen on drinking, doesn't appeal to me just like skydiving or anything else.. People like different things?
I don't know the op personally but a glass of wine can easily lead to multiple glasses, so yes it's possible she could have a bit too much and not notice something is amiss, alcohol impairs your judgement which is why you don't drink and drive.

justanothermanicmonday1 · 27/04/2024 22:52

This must be a wind up.

In case it isn't, then no.

Worrying you have to ask

Behindthescenesnow · 27/04/2024 22:52

@TerriPie you don't sleep?

Amazing.......

Just suppose he chocked, whilst you dared to sleep!

determinedtomakethiswork · 27/04/2024 22:51

No of course not. Don't even think about it.

Why do you hate people coming to your house?

Ineedaholidayyyy · 27/04/2024 22:51

I appreciate the risks of a fire / intruder /choking are all low. However, if you decided to go next door to have a drink and something was to happen , would you feel happy to tell the authorities that you were next door having a drink whilst said issue occurred? I suspect your answer would probably be no, and the fact you have also mentioned Madeline McCann also shows that you have thought about this and that it's not right.

There is a difference between being in a large home or your own garden to going next door. I don't care what others say, it's not the same as locking your doors and going into next doors house and leaving your 2 year old unattended.
