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
of all things
knowing full well it was dirty
if you clean out under the sink of all poisons, don't put breakables in there
get a bunch of plastic things for him to play with in the kitchen
man half my cookware is glass, the rest is cast iron. If he can sort the ratshit from the buckwheat enough to break the glassware, GG, well done, he wins that one
even if he starts banging on stuff with a wooden spoon and making a racket, it's still better than having him under foot
make sure bathroom toys and any other bathroom objects have a clear difference from each other in where they're stored, like no rubber duckies on the same shelf as shampoo kind of thing
that's a psychological trick
if he has a plastic knife to play with, pretend it's sharp like the real knives
someone gave us a baby cage, i inverted it and put it around my computer area so it was the only area that's off limits
cage, the fuck
yeah, people are odd
like the fence thing or full on top, bottom and sides cage?
fence thing
alright
I had a dog kennel in mind
thought "jesus these brits don't fuck around"
sorry i wasn't clearer
i'm Australian
banished brit
vikingr brit
my family left on purpose
if you want to avoid screen fascination, turn screens away from his viewpoints so it's not a fascinating thing to look at
that also means when you're at the computer, you're facing into the room instead of turning your back
I don't know how the hell I'll tackle that one, I'm in enough of a hell giving up vaping so he doesn't want to do that
Man... parenting sounds like there is so much to think about. I don't envy you guys
you probably have a few years of stress relief in vaping, it's relatively boring
tbf, i overanalyse a fair bit but it leads to some interesting solutions
