I've already read like 10 of these before, so I'm kind of confident saying that most people would recommend Mullvad as the best and most secure/private, and some of them would also add ProtonVPN. I'm using Proton here and there, no issues, would recommend.

The one solution I can think of which is not involving adding any hardware is using Spotcast to start Spotify playback on your tablet.

Haven't tried exactly this setup, but based on their description it should work.

As others already stated there are solutions already to pin apps and to be honest, I feel I would not give the phone to a policeman like that.

On the other hand, what I'm more concerned about is giving the access to my phone's data through different permissions to my government.

For example this is the list of permissions for the Hungarian government app: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/hu.gov.dap.app/latest/#trackers

It's just really sad to see this comment and also upvoted this many times. Doesn't contribute to the conversation at all, plus possibly starts some hate circlejerk.

That's something I was also considering, because there were some days when she already looked a bit sleepy in the morning already. Will be thinking about it, thanks!

Unfortunately this is the case I'm seeing happening more. I would love to use a router of my choice, but then I would lose the TV service (Telekom, Hungary). And it's not just about the freedom of mine to choose the hardware, but the features their one is lacking.

Also with the TV box I got from them 2 yrs ago, I can feel and see that's is miles behind my 2015 (!) Shield TV.

So yeah, ISPs giving out crappy hardware and force you to use it, is my nr. 1 gripe.

Thanks for the variety of tips. I'll be thinking about how to use them. The car part we already tried and succeeded but trying not to incorporate it too heavy, since I heard that my boss used it so effectively with his kids they didn't want to go to sleep any other way 😀

Quiet time sounds reasonable, thanks for the tip. Will try it out for sure.

Thanks for this. Nice to hear at least other parents also struggling with this. Trying to be more considerate on what she needs.

Thanks, I was not really considering not to have the afternoon sleep. But I guess you're right. Pushing never feels like the good approach.

 

Hey everyone!

Wanted to check in here about our newest struggle, maybe someone can share our pain or even help with some advice.

Our little one just turned 2, the biggest development of the last few weeks is that she's really talkative now. Able to respond to questions, even describing events with some help. Other huge change is that putting her to sleep is getting more and more industrious:

  • Before, both in the afternoon and in the evening we had the nice ritual of putting blankets and pillows on the floor of her room, turning off the lights, singing some nice songs, maybe telling the tale of her achievements that day, and she went to sleep in ~20 minutes (40 minutes max).

  • Now, the afternoon sleep is taking more hours sometimes and she doesn't even look sleepy most of the times. And since the afternoon nap is happening later, the night sleep is happening later and slower. And we feel that we cannot push it further more.

We tried a lot of things already in the afternoon (as we're feeling that could be root of the problem for the evening sleep also) for example putting her to the baby carriage for a walk, putting her in one of these carriers on our backs, putting her directly into her bed... Nothing really works, it feels like she just needs us to try at least 2 hours and then she gives up. At least when she sleeps, she really sleeps like a baby, sometimes not even waking up at all for the whole of the evening (that is something that haven't changed).

Have you experienced something like this around 2 years? How did you solve it? Or do you have any other suggestion?

I would appreciate any input from you.

As a Hungarian myself, I can only say: Hello! We're also here 👋
