Furious at this parent!!

Well hopefully she pays up since this is what she agreed to in the contract.

As for video monitors, I will always highly reccomend them. I for sure do not constantly stare at it but if they make a noise I hear it and it's much more convenient than checking in all the time (and risk waking them!! Lol) I have 2 monitors but only use one right now as they thankfully are great nappers and all in one room. Most days I just have to turn it on towards end of nap so I can hear when they're awake. My disruptive one had to sleep in the kitchen. That little stinker put a hole in his playpen one day!

Did he put the hole in his playpen even with the video monitor or did you purchase one after the fact?

They sound like they have no ability and no desire to discipline their child. To make the comment you will need a second job to pay for the damage your child is doing is ridiculous! How old is the child?

I hope they do pay up. It sounds like they may, sounds like this isn't the first time they have paid for their children's actions!

If they don't. Is it a mattress that can be flipped? Maybe a combination of sewing a solid patch on it then flipping it so the patch is on the bottom and isn't getting pulled as much will help.

I have a video monitor that has 4 cameras. So I only have to carry one receiving device for 4 rooms. It was a life saver when I had 5 children in daycare here. Now that I am down to only 2 kids I use 2 of the cameras in the upstairs playroom. I can monitor the room while doing some house work. Even on the lowest volume setting I can hear my daughter tossing and turning so I'd know if she was awake. Because of this I keep the volume off at night but have the video on so if I hear her calling out I wake and look to see if she needs me or not. With this I am pretty sure you'd have heard him stripping the bed down.

After. He was the reason I invested in them lol. I had to check in on him 2-4x an hour as he was a terrible napper but needed that quiet time or he was an absolute bear in the afternoon!
