Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Another Baby on Our Monitor!

May 4, 2010

Video baby monitors are a parent's security blanket. We took ours along on a recent visit to grandma's house. After putting our tot down for the night, we visited with family and friends well into the night. After checking our son one last time, we retired to bed and drifted off to sleep. A few hours later, I heard a noise and quickly tapped the button on the monitor to find a perfectly content lil girl curled up in a crib. My heart skipped a few beats as I raced down the hallway to find my child peacefully sleeping in his makeshift nursery. It seems my parents' next-door neighbors recently welcomed a baby girl and were using the same monitor as we were.

Have you ever picked up a neighbor's child on your monitor?

That would scare the hell out of me....lol!!! We used to pick up our neighbors phone calls on the handset (that only picked up sound) but never another picture on the monitor.

I used to get the neighbour a few doors down all the time, which is scarry because they probably got us too! We do, on occasion, pick up our friends across the alley still, but that's just funny because we can clearly tell it's them and have to laugh because they're usually dealing with the same things as us like yelling up the stairs to tell the kdis to go back to their rooms and go to sleep!
