I have them about a year at this stage and got them direct from the product owners. I got the wired ones which were about 30 euro + PP at the time.

You might get them quicker through other routes now.
@Kinvaraās Passion ā¦how long would you leave a baby crying for at night?..
thatās a very good questionā¦
i was after a load of drink one night and she went to work as usual at 7 and left him with me, id say he was screaming for a while when i woke later at 11am (to him screaming)

fuck that shitā¦you can ruin a child by leaving them crying too longā¦ theyāll start to get very nervous about everything ā¦ on the other hand you canāt be played like a fiddle either and come running every time the start crying as theyāll just keep pushing the boundaries ā¦its a tricky oneā¦
id err on the side of running every time mate.
on a side note, Ive always assumed that bigging up your kid at every chance and being positive is good for their self esteem & confidence. Now Im told that this insualtes kids from the realities of life and if things ever did go wrong & life wasnt perfect they would find it hard to overcome. How would you suggest I get the balance right here mate?

let them get up themselves when they hit the deckā¦ allow them wander off ā¦little things like that palā¦
All depends of the intensity of the crying palā¦
If its frantic Iād probably in like a shotā¦ However if its more of a whinge Id hold off for a while though any more than 5 minutes and the guilt factor kicks in, by 10 minutes Iāll probably be in there.
As NCC says its a fine balance.
Iām listening to bits and pieces of advice on rearing kids and giving them a sense of liking themselves appears to be the general way to go.

A stat from Harvard research so I assume its a US based surveyā¦
The average father spends less than 7 minutes a week with each kid in an uninterrupted 1 on 1 conversation. (no tv, no web, no radio etc).

What do they talk about for the remaining 5 and a half minutes?
In seriousness, thats a worrying stat.

As always pal, hasnāt failed me yet. In fact if I was to build my house all over again I would specifically design a meditation room into it.
im led to believe that a kid hears the word no 400 times a day, we need to break that cycle mate, we can change the world
Yes mate, quite correct.
Kids have a wonderful concept of imagination that allows them to think outside the box. By the ages of 3 years old this imagination is at its most vibrant.
Due to the conditioning of adults and their environmentā¦ by the age of 6 this imagination has been eroded greatly and by the age of 9 is almost gone. Kids quickly realise there is certain set of rules that allow you to āfit inā and not adhering to these rules means being left out of the loop.
Sad really.

that sickens me to the core but it does go to explain why there are so many bland robots on here such as fran,gola,gman,pikeman,padjo,mac,fooley & of course glasgusban

this country would probably be one of the worst for kids trying to āfit ināā¦ a baby should be seen not heard type of bolloxā¦:rolleyes:
Iām glad Iāve moved to the bottom of that list 
On a serious note, how does the attitude towards parenting differ between Ireland and Australia mate? The obvious racism aside of course.

it would be quite similar id guess, kids have a more formal upbringing there id guess as its all play dates and arranged activities. the snobiness that you would get with secondary schools here you would get with primary schools there, maybe amongst bogans things would be different but where we were thatās my take on it.
pardon my ignorance but is there a vaccine for chickenpox and does the kid have to be over a certain age to get it ?..saw a kid the other day with a face like a dartboard and it got me thinkingā¦
Our little one got the chickenpox vaccine a couple of months ago, she was about 18 months at the time. Cost about ā¬150, well worth it as far as Iām concerned
I thought it was advised to let them get the chicken pox as it helps build an immunity and leave them less susceptible to shingles in later life?
