SKL Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 LOL! I've had to have conference calls with babies in the same room, but I wouldn't dare do a video conference. :P My favorite was when my kids were 2yo and my client called me up at home at dinner time. My youngest very clearly hollered, "I have to go Poo Poo!" (For some reason, she always needed to poo right after she started eating dinner.) Do you think the client took the hint and hung up? Oh no! The call went on for another half hour, with me trying to do everything for my kids in between arguing about some work report. :P 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Oh that was so funny!! Made my day!! Reminds me of the time that my dh had an important conference call (not video, just sound -- thankfully!) from home. He was standing in our kitchen talking, sounding all business-like, and a couple bats came in out of nowhere and began swooping around his head. He made some loud gasps but never explained why and then just kept talking business as usual. I always wondered what the people at the other end thought! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I saw that. It has made me laugh so hard all morning. I don't really know why, but the look on the mom's face. And the baby coming in after big sister- and big sisters arm motions-la la la la la--and then franctic Mom. And his deep breath. Oh, my goodness, it was awesome. And then, in the Washington Post article, he is quoted as asking "Is this going to go viral and get all weird" and the response is, "It already has". 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't some local TV station newscast. It was the BBC. And he is not a professional broadcaster. He is a professor. I'm sure the mom was in the bathroom or something and realized in horror that her children were on world-wide TV. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the blinking and shrieking noise makers. Ugh. I just wanted something simple for when she wants to not be in the floor but all hands are busy. I bought a Winnie the Pooh walker and took off the attachments so it's just a plain tray that we can put her favorite toys on. But she's no dummy and has not accepted it as a replacement holder. Now it's a temporary coffee tray next to my chair. I'll try again in a week or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the walkers, I figured out if you take the rubber bumper things off the underneath they have an easier time cruising around. We only had a one story house, so I didn't have to worry about stairs or falling. My kids LOVED walkers. :) ETA: And they're all still alive and none of them are bow-legged!

ktgrok Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ha! That video was awesome. They still sell them!! Although people try and act like you just handed your kids into a death trap........... I know we bought one when my 7 year old was young. We are in a one floor ranch, so no danger of falling down stairs or anything, and she had a broken arm so for 6 weeks or whatever it was she couldn't crawl. She was miserable being immobile in that cast, so the walker was a life saver. Kept her happy while she healed. I don't think they are dangerous if you don't have stairs to fall down. Now...I wills ay they are dangerous to the rest of the family, lol! She'd ram you with it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 i've watched it several times. He remained composed, more or less.

meena Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 My absolute favorite part is when the baby comes rolling in. You know the saying "funny cuz it's true"--that should be the tag line for this video. Who hasn't been interrupted and/or embarrassed by their kids? I hope that all people involved will not be hurt by the attention and look on it as a sweet reminder of how imperfect all of our lives are behind the scenes. My only complaint is not even with the video but rather the comments that automatically assume the woman is the nanny and not the mom/wife. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love every bit of this video but I have to say, "the reach" at the end brought me to tears. Baby Davros....hahahahahahaha! The preschooler dance, the hand....
