In our thick walled two story home a non WiFi handheld monitor with pan tilt and clear night vision stayed solid from upstairs to the backyard without dropouts... Turn on sound activation to save battery and keep the parent unit higher and away from the router or microwave to avoid interference.

Spreadsheet says fixed zones, swap Sundays, 10-minute nightly reset.

Between daycare invoices and a toddler who thinks blueberries are currency, I notice every missing dollar. It's not rude; it's responsible. You paid for them when their card failed, now they owe you. Keep it short so you don't spiral. Text: 'Hey, following up on the trip—your part was $125. Can you send it by Friday?' If they say they're tight, fine, 'Two payments over the next two Fridays works.' Always put a date; otherwise it drifts forever. I send the request in the app and the text at the same time so there's no confusion. Reminders: one nudge after a week, then one firm message the week after. If nothing after two reminders, stop spotting them and say so next time: 'Can't cover you—still waiting on the last one.' I don't let it sit past that, because the mental load is already full.
