I don't have children but I fear one of my friends is being overly protective of her son. He's the only child she's likely to have and I get that he's extremely important to her. That being given, I have a question. Just in case parenthood makes a difference, I have divided the question, the first set of answers is for parents, the second for non-parents.
Edited after the first two responses:
What I'm looking for is the age at which a normal, healthy child should no longer have a baby monitor turned on in his/her bedroom. If never is a choice, feel free to leave a comment. I'll tally those by hand, later.
Edited again:
Upon further reflection, the question I want answered is "By what age should a baby monitor be removed from a child's room because if it isn't I will think the parent is a nut."

(or so I think)Maybe it is just me, but I feel people are overreacting a bit, compared to like ten or more years ago there are so many things (new) parents HAVE to do, while my daughters (now 15 and nearly 17) grew up well too, and are never ill or anything. Maybe it is time for people to get more realistic and do what they need to: raise their kids with love!
