Foursquare for new parents
I’ve recently started using Foursquare (me), ironically, because a friend who works for the EFF has a favorable opinion of it.
During my usage in the last month or so, I’ve come to realize that there should be a version of Foursquare that is for new parents. This is how I envision a timeline would look:
3:00pm – Bedroom – “Trying to take a nap”
3:03pm – Back porch – “Rowan’s crying, getting him some sun.”
6:00pm – Kitchen – “Where are those left-overs?”
8:00pm – Bedroom – “Bedtime!”
10:00pm – Breastfeeding rocker – “He’s up”
10:45pm – Bedroom – “Sleep!”
12:30am – Breastfeeding rocker – “up again”
1:00am – Diaper changing table – “Ewww”
1:15am – Bedroom – “yawn”
4:00am – Breastfeeding rocker – “what time is it?”
4:30am – Bedroom – “no comment”
- You’ve earned the Breastfeeder Badge!
6:00am – Breastfeeding rocker – “always with the eating…”
6:30am – Back porch – “Well, I guess he’s not going back to sleep… good morning!”
8:00am – Living Room – “We made it to the living room!”
- Whoa! You’ve just earned the Explorer Badge!
I’d sign up for that service in a heart beat.
