Make sure you keep telling your kids that no matter how much you get annoyed sometimes or if you give them timeouts or even shout some times - no matter what - you will always love them and be there for them. They need to know that and feel secure.

Of course if you mean it!

Spot on. So well said. I thought I communicated this well enough to my children, till my 7 year old asked me tearfully after a scolding “Dad, so you were yelling at me. Does this mean you don’t love me any more?”
Damn, it broke my heart. Needless to say, I made it a point to talk about unconditional love, and emphasized it over and over.

Stay off your phone, actually engage with your child.

My friend’s parent’s jewelry store has a Bluesy (ref 16613) in “like new” condition + box from 2008 for 10k. I had been contemplating buying a Rolex, but wasn’t super set on it. Is this a solid deal? Chrono24 seems to have couple years older ones for around 8-10k in very good/with papers, so not sure if I should keep shopping around
