How to become more authoritative while babysitting?


Hi,
I babysat two boys tonight and I slightly messed up. I got them to bed on time, wasn't on my phone, made sure they didn't watch T.V but one of the kids wasn't allowed to watch TV or play with any electronics. The sucker I am let the kid play on an ipad… I know i shouldn't have and I feel so guilty. The problem is that I have trouble saying no. It's absolutely awful and I'm not assertive enough because I'm scared that they won't like me. I know the parents rules are the most important thing after their safety and that's what's making me feel so bad. I really don't want one of the kids to say something because I let him watch a few videos and then I get fired. I'm so scared of getting fired because of that one rule. How do I be more authoritative and not let kids walk all over me? Thanks!

Why does my wireless slow down at time?


I am a host parent and I host an international student from China. So my problem is when he came and stayed with me, my internet always slow down and sometimes we both could not even get onto the internet. I have the best wireless router and very high speed internet. I called Verizon several times and they said my internet has no problem at all. And It indeed works perfectly fine when my student was going back to China in summer. In addition, my HP printer and Sonos also connect to the wireless, I tried to print something last night and tried to listen to music this morning, and they both cannot be connected to my Ipad or iphone. So I reset the router and all the sudden the Sonos is connected, the printer started printing, the internet goes to very high speed. I don't know what has happened to the wireless, but there must be something that slows down the internet. I am sure my student would go on to some Chinese websites, but is that a problem that impacts the internet? Please help! Or please tell me who I could call to get my problem fix. Thank you very much!

Apple product prices increasing this year? WHY?


I noticed all Apple products price tags have INCREASED, which began around earlier this year. Everything from Apple made accessories to iPhone and Mac just skyrocket and don't know why Apple is doing this?

I was pretty lucky to purchased a new iPhone last year before price changed. Now I need to upgrade my aging 13" Macbook pro and would also love an iPad mini but the prices are now INSANE! Even for a 13" pro model is still very expensive, otherwise I could shell out for 15" with better specs or at least able to upgrade the hardware on 13". With current prices, it seems impossible and felt like I'm forced to get lowest entry 13" pro.

Why Apple?! Who to blame?!

What to look for when buying a used iPad Mini?


I bought an iPad Mini off of Ebay and wanted to know what are somethings you would look for when receiving it. From what I saw on the listing the iPad looked very good and I was assured it was working great. The only things I can think of is checking to see if the cameras and all the buttons work. Any help would be appreciated.

Best place to buy a cheap replacement screen for an iPad Mini?


I just wanted to know if there's any place to buy a cheap replacement screen for an iPad Mini? I've looked on iFixIt and they have a complete kit with tools and everything for $80. Directfix has the screen alone for $40. (So far planning on getting this one)
I've seen some on amazon and eBay for around $20, but not too sure on the quality. If anyone has any experience with buying one please let me know. Thanks

So children making their dolls have sex and recording it is normal now?


So I have a younger sister and this is well weird. So I came across a video my 11 year old sister had of her barbies having sex on my moms iPad. When I showed it to my mom she practically did nothing but my sister balled her eyes out. Was that the way my mom should have responded? Is this normal now?

IPad Air s cable not charging?


iPad Air is about two years old, and I bought additional things to keep the cable safe from bending. I also bought a supporter to put near the two usb ports and lightning cable. I also wrapped wires around to make sure it wont bend. The adaptor seems to be working, as i tried with another cable. Any help is appreciated. TIA
