I wouldn't feel weird about it until he expresses some real interest in privacy. So far that is not the case.<br /><br />For you mind if I ask for details about your setup? What kind of camera do you have, how hard was it to set up? I'm leaning toward IP camera because it seems cheaper/higher quality video/useful beyond when the kids are little.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963064478685341998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-19782735157133201862013-05-01T08:50:04.000-06:002013-05-01T08:50:04.000-06:00Oh, Callum!

The second boy (who is crying) reminds me so, so much of Callum (not because of the crying, though, just his overall looks). :)Pickles and Dimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552386798256895855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-90325187528966916422013-05-01T08:06:57.530-06:002013-05-01T08:06:57.530-06:00Oh, this made me laugh.

You are to stop playing Minecraft and get back to your math homework at once.)<br /><br />We never used monitors, either audio or visual, so I can't offer any feedback here. I'm of the mind that if it works, use it, though. At some point he'll figure out that it's just another arm of parental authority and thus open for testing.Melospizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967972017593146047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-37399561784228194062013-04-30T20:34:46.222-06:002013-04-30T20:34:46.222-06:00No clue.

I think we'll stop once he can wake himself up, open his door, and take himself to the bathroom or our room if something is wrong. Could be tomorrow. Could be in four years.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793480432068543767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-56778920994286502922013-04-30T15:39:26.713-06:002013-04-30T15:39:26.713-06:00Your post is just.....awesome!

But, oh, what a great story!<br /><br />I think maybe by age 4.5 to 5 giving a little more privacy is fair. By then, kids know the rules, what's generally expected of them, and they are (usually) good sleepers by then. Potty trained and have stared into some sort of schooling. So, I think you safely have a few years before you need to start feeling "creepy" for watching him. And if he knows you are watching, and that it's just mommy & daddy, I think it's ok. <br /><br />I fully plan on using a video monitor for our new little one arriving in Sept. Didn't have it for my first two and think it would have been good.

I took the regular monitor our of the baby room at around a year. <br /><br />Creepy story- my daughter's friend's parents have a video monitor in her room, and she's 9 YEARS OLD. I don't allow my daughter to spend time at that house because it's just too strange for me.

I probably would have stopped for him by 3.5 because he was fully potty trained and sleeping fine. I don't think it would be creepy to use the camera longer, just unnecessary.Beckyhttp://styleallover.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-45839669590878940272013-04-30T12:07:15.943-06:002013-04-30T12:07:15.943-06:00We bought the same thing to spy on our dog when he...We bought the same thing to spy on our dog when he's home alone and he was terrified of the camera for about a week, especially if we would log-in and move it. He doesn't like the voice thing, but we don't really use it on him anyway. <br /><br />Our plan is to use it as a baby monitor as well once I have this little one in September. I'm obviously not even close to the point where I need to worry about privacy yet, but you raise a good question!

When she is basically potty trained, at least day trained, seems like a reasonable time to stop invading her privacy in general? Maybe? <br /><br />I think it depends on the kid, too - like a super mischievous kid might necessitate monitoring, whereas for E, it's 50% entertainment and 50% checking if she is awake, as opposed to making sure she hasn't climbed out the window or something. <br /><br />I don't know when kids start <i>wanting</i> privacy. At some point, that should be obvious, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
