1. Don’t use too much detergent

Ha, yes!
Not gonna lie, I want and could use one of those baby window cages. Kid loves being outdoors, but our tiny apartment doesn’t give her that option. Let’s bring this one back!
I also have a toddler. Agree on the AirBnb/VRBO side of things - great to get a small (extra) bedroom for the kid. You should also look into Slumberpod (I have no affiliation with the company, I just love the product) which is a weird (breathable!) blackout tent that slips over a small travel crib (like a pack n…
Counterpoint: if you don’t move every year, and have more than a room or two worth of stuff (i.e. you’re not in your 20s anymore) then pay for a mover.
1. Don’t burn any bridges
The 1990s is when helicopter parenting started. In the 1990s, everyone was hoping for the idyllic time that was the 1950s and 1960s when “kids could be kids!” This is some seriously misplaced nostalgia.
“...all you have to do is move it to the freezer for 24 hours...”
Oh man, noise cancelling headphones? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?
I’ve started this document, just for financial purposes so my wife has it. I do a lot of the financial planning for our family, and I don’t want her to lose track of information if I’m dead. But it also involves somehow passing her the password to my password manager, which is a thing I can’t figure out how to do. I…
The only unwritten rule is I am always right, you are always “look at this guy!”
For toddlers (if still in a crib) and younger - pack and play plus Slumberpod. This thing is an unbelievable blackout tent. It sets up in 5 minutes, fits in a carry on, and lets everyone get the sleep they so desperately need.
Unfortunately, this is a good way to start a fight, and breaks a really important unwritten rule: don’t touch other people’s stuff! You’re not the policeman of the sky, you’re not going to teach anyone a lesson (they are so oblivious they don’t know what lesson you’re even teaching), and if you are touching someone…
These mesh kits are expensive (but much cheaper than running Cat 5E everywhere!) and will need to be upgraded every 3-4 years to stay current, but the biggest issue is that the performance is notably worse than a single AP/router, and way worse than wired. It’s good for coverage, but you can forget about performance…
Welcome to having an old house. I have the same in an apartment in Manhattan, combined with extremely crowded spectrum utilization because all the other apartments are the same. The solution: wired Ethernet everywhere. I ran Cat 5E everywhere and have plugged in multiple high priority devices and it has made a world…
Seconded this. Article is dangerously wrong.
The timing of the Washington Post article is really something... January 23, 2020 - right before cruises became ground zero for early COVID.
When I was 31, my girlfriend’s mother died suddenly and we had to arrange all the funeral, finances, and house because her father has a mental disorder and was wholly incapable. Our lives fully sucked from the planning and rearranging and it consumed all our free time for months. And my girlfriend never really got a…
Leave your jewelry at home.
We waited about 2 weeks and it was great timing. (We also went on a second honeymoon-style trip 6 months later, and told everyone on that trip it was our honeymoon ...)
