Would you go next door if baby is in bed?

[Bloodyfreezinng]

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

No. Of course not FFS.

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

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

That's your issue.

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

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

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

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

I'd assume it's adult company?

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

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

The voice of reason!

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

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.

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.

@JKRIsRight I'm having a glass of wine..

I'm gonna get shitfaced ...obs!

I think you already are. 😂

@JKRIsRight based on.....?

Because I dare to disagree with you?

🤔

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.

So invite the neighbour round?

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

Did you have a monitor that would reach?

No

No. But I know quite a few people (Doctors and teachers included) who have.

Absolutely not.

Invite neighbour to you

@Allfur between my sitting room and an upstairs bedroom there is one door (not locked) and a flight of stairs. Between my neighbour’s sitting room and my upstairs bedroom there is a door in their house, their front door (which might be locked), my locked front door, and a flight of stairs.
So no, not the same at all.

What? No! Haven’t you ever heard of Maddy McCann?

When my kids were babies we had the old style sound monitors, but they picked up next doors one too. I could hear them having conversations.

Tech is great now, but you cannot keep your eyes and ears on a baby in a cot at all times. You will be asleep for some of it for starters.

i knew an old lady who was a single mum in the 60s, a widow or divorced, she told me that she left her baby in the cot and went to work at a factory, she came home at lunchtime to feed the baby and went back to work.
