    I was lied to as a kid and as a result I have trust issues. That’s the short version it’s far more complicated.
    I strongly advise you tell her; lying will cause issues later on in life.
    I mean this nicest possible way - The world won’t pander to her sensitivity; she needs to overcome it.

      Totally agree, I would want to know the truth, if I found out later I was lied to, I feel it would cause further issues for longer - if the other kids know, then you must tell her before they let slip too..

    I think you should break the bad news about the cat, otherwise you'll have to watch your daughter waiting for it to come home, wondering where it is, leaving out food for it etc etc. I think that would be harder to watch. She'll also be wondering what happened to it for years.

    Cat - I’m autistic and my daughter is AuDHD, she said she would want to know the truth. Last time (the first time), would have started to build her resilience, so trust that she will be good, you may still get random mentions of dead cat, but at least she won’t be anxious and checking every cat she sees to see if it’s hers

      I use energenie and broke several as they are easy to overload, I added a contactor driven by the energenie to switch the heavier loads, bonus is you get a really satisfying clunk when it switches! The energenies are repairable, just need to get new relays installed.

    I know I’m late to the party but agree with the comments I’ve read - tell your daughter the truth, grieving is normal and better that, than the not knowing if the cat “ran away “. We just lost our dog (our kids might be a bit older) but our 12 year old girl really struggled - worse at bedtime but it’s a personal process we all have to navigate.

    I have an extension cable with four outlets all controlled by a single remote, think a friend sent it me but its useful to turn one of four outlets on or off. It also has an option to turn all on or off at the same time, has it over ten years & found it very useful.

  • @georgemcclelland5207
    @georgemcclelland5207 Месяц назад +1

    For the remote vacuum switch you should probably have a contactor in the box capable of switching higher loads. Use the kinetic receiver to switch the coil for the contactor. You'll probably need a bigger box though

    • @grahamtavener521
      @grahamtavener521 Месяц назад +1

      Agree with this. Using a contactor switched with a relay is much safer and can be used with higher loads. The under rated relay might overheat and melt rather than blow a fuse. Built one to control a 3kW immersion remotely.

    We read a book written especially for helping kids understand and process grief to help explain the loss of both of our cats to our 4 year old daughter - Badger's Parting Gifts by Susan Varley.
    Granted its more intented for the loss of older family members/friends, but we found a lot of it was still relevent for family pets.
    She has some sensitive traits, and it was a bit mixed at first in how much she was understanding and processing it. For our second cat she was around 4.5, and seemed to process it better and occassionally she'll surprise us with her maturity on it - she'll randomly ask me to see pictures of them on my phone, and has asked if we can put some pictures up on the wall so she doesn't forgot them.
    Some of the questions and conversations were tough, but we'd use the same approach again.

    Metabo already make a wireless control unit called Cordless Control. It’s not available for the UK as of yet but you can use an adaptor and it works with any dust extractor. It has Bluetooth control, like a Festool, but if you’re using a cordless tool it senses the vibration and auto starts the vac. Have a look, I’ve not used it but I’m sure it’s great.

    Sorry to hear of the person going through Chemo - been there, and it sucks (especially at the same time as radiotherapy) but if it works, it's 100% worth it. As for the cat, it's important for your daughter to grieve properly - it will ultimately be better for her than ignoring death and illness etc. My daughter similar with her pets and still randomly cries about past pets. Finally, like Deadfoot. I was thinking you could do it with Shelley, but I think the energenie works better in for this use case

Yes, he has had to deal with the loss, but having the chance to say goodbye is always better.
