Hello, world!
I'm a father of one infant and one toddler. My stake in this site is to learn from you, and also to contribute as much as I can!
Based on my own childhood and parenthood, my specialties are (among others): twins, languages, and international aspects. For the record, I'm an identical twin and married to a fraternal twin. I speak 4 languages fluently and I've lived in 5 countries (Europe, Japan).
I enjoy using my experience to help others. That is why I am active at even more SE sites in the StackExchange network on topics that interest me.
Outside of this site, I'm something of a Swiss army knife both professionally and in private, able to juggle a wild variety of things at once. I've worked in every kind of business that uses software. I'm also very good with tools, both IT and mechanic. Whether you need software design or assembling some IKEA furniture, I'm your man for the job. I'm generally soft-spoken but driven by clear principles.
To learn more about me, see my Google+ profile.

How to get my sister to use correct spelling while typing on computer? I like the subversive approach (last paragraph) of putting her in a situation where her shortcuts don't work :-) |

Help child overcome fear of water on head Yes! Making a show of things being fun is better than demostrating that you're trying to be (over-)careful. |

What if my kids don't want me to speak my native language? I'm uncool but I get to make the rules :-) Great answer! |

Should I make my child respond to me in my language? @Benjol: I'm at a drawback because everybody knows that I'm fluent in both languages so I can't credibly claim to not understand. TV in Danish is a good idea - live TV isn't available outside Denmark and the DVD material I've found so far is not very good but I need to look some more! |

How can I protect my ears when the baby cries? This is a very interesting suggestion! There's a hearing-aid specialist in my town that I know offers something like this and I'll go ask for a quote. I'll accept this answer because custom-made plugs make sense for a variety of situations this idea is the one most suitable to me because of the tinnitus. |

How to get my sister to use correct spelling while typing on computer? Are you deliberately mistyping anecdote as anecdata? |

How to get my sister to use correct spelling while typing on computer? +1 for ignoring anything she writes using shortcuts. I agree that using shortcuts in general correspondence is rude. |
