A friend of mine over at dopplercow just suggested a new “squelch” function for baby monitors… Similar to CB radio functionaly, but made for parents with varying degrees of patience for a nosiy baby. Here’s the list of settings.
- I’m a panicy parent, I need to hear the blood flowing through her veins.
- I’m concerned, please provide me with functions and noises above the sound of her breathing.
- I’m mildly concerned, but unless she’s crying I really don’t want to hear it.
- I’m kinda trying to take a nap, can we only alert me if she screams?
- I’m playing Dawn of War with some friends, unless she’s screaming her fricken head off, I’d really rather not be bothered.
- ZZZzz… >snort< Huh? What?
- Baby? What baby?
