If you just want one wireless network and your house is small, then a single device will be fine. If your house is big and you want a simple solution, you may want to look into a modem and a mesh network although you can always attach the mesh to the Fios device. If you want to be able to segment the network to provide fast internet for work, parental controls for the kids, limited access for guests and IoT devices, and have flexible wireless without designed obsolesce, then you probably want to buy separate devices.



Wow this is helpful but also went over my head. Where would the best place be to go shopping for this stuff?
Sounds like she's getting enough sleep, just not in the hours that you prefer.

Sorry, OP, I sympathize. My first was a very early waker. It's hard.
Are they both not wearing masks? Or just this other person?
If you didn't want drama, you should have just unfollowed.

I would personally just ignore her at this point, mostly because she seems like the kind of person that's going to badmouth you. I wouldn't give her any further ammo.
Anyone?
None except for arm soreness
how many times does he nap during the day?
Emily Oster has done some school research. Linking here in case it's helpful.

Is it worth buying their recommended router? Or are there better options? TIA.
We have opposite problems. At 9:30 is when I finally start feeling energized. But during the afternoons I feel exhausted and generally blah. Maybe try doing a little stretching to get the blood flowing?
Fir both my boys they started sleeping earlier between 3 & 4 months. Its just biological.
OP my friend with 7 kids told me his trick is iPad bedtime stories.

Also, re the 3 year old. When he naps, don’t try to put him to sleep at the normal time. He won’t be tired & you will just be frustrated. Just accept that bedtime will be later that night. Maybe planning for it will make it less annoying.
I just downloaded this too and am not using it to its full extent. But, I'm going to buy it because I can afford to spend that money right now, and am willing to pay for anything that might help at all with my sleep.

Also, I know you didn't ask for a book recommendation, but I read The Sleep Solution earlier this year and got a lot out of it.
Have you tried the book "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen"? That and "Parenting with Love and Logic" might help here.

Also, and I know this is a big ask, but try to treat your daughter as someone who wants to be good but is struggling. Try to think of yourself as someone who is on her team, vs. being her adversary.
Grew up in Southern California. Great place to grow up, but would not want to live there now. Where I lived you couldn't really walk anywhere, and there seems to be more focus on keeping up with the Joneses.

I'll just admit to loving DC, whatever that means about me. I love the change of seasons. I love being a parent here and everything there is to do for kids. I love Rock Creek Park. I love all the little shops near me. I love the access that the airports provide. I even like most of the people that I meet.
