just a side observation

That's why high fantasy is a good genre anymore. At least the diversity makes sense

"why's that guy being such a fucking jackass"
"he's an elf, lol"

Bird box is like a zombie film with no zombies

if I wanted that I'd go to the grocery store

heheh

nah, not in the communism way, have you ever been and seen another parent desperately trying to explain to their child why they should not climb onto the shelves as politely as possible without resorting to "because we just don't" and listened for a while

Eventually a kid asks "why?" so many times the conversation goes to gymnasts and how it's back for your toes and shit, it's wild

yeah, parenting makes people go to convoluted places, even when they do have control of the situation

i was able to explain that stuff but i can't remember how, atm

My son can't speak english yet but through a series of grunts and whines tried to convey to me today why I should let him take the bottle of hydrogen peroxide off the bathroom shelf

So much pointing

colours

might even look like something he's played with before

it's been so long since i baby/toddler proofed, i've forgotten how

Well if you've got tips I'd listen to them

can't hardly look away from the little fucker without a panic yet

jeez, aside from getting down to their perspective, i'm not sure where to begin

books and shelves are fun to destroy and climb on, too

books are a weird one because people forget that they're heavy when falling

making electricity, sharps and water safe are easy to remember

Are your kids climbing on shit?

Yeah, I've got those plastic plugs in every outlet

it's always the seemingly harmless shit that gets to be a problem

hobble the little parasite

Had to shut off the baseboard heaters for fear of him shoving his hand in there

any exposed cables (including for lamps behind tables, network cables, etc.) need to be secured against skirting boards or zip tied

@THCVee I completely understand why some parents go full annie wilkes on their kids. I couldn't do it myself, but ***I get it***

nah just tie a foot to a wrist and they wont climb anymore

i'm just looking at my mess of a house, with it's open cased computers (turned on), bookshelves and pieces of equipment lying around and remembering

i mean the other option is adoption....

move the poisons in the cupboards up, empty out the ground level cupboard under the sink

Ah, that's a good idea. Swap the kitchen sink shit to the cupboards and vice versa

I'll do that tomorrow

make sure you get into the habit of turning saucepan handles inward instead of letting them hang out for easy manipulation

He's not that tall yet

fucking thankfully

but he will be by the time you get the habit down

even when they can talk they sometimes grab something they see, even if they know it's dangerous

one of my friends kids used to run up and touch dog shit
