My 5 yo figured out how to open the baby gate to get access to the kitchen. It's like the Velociraptor figuring how to open doors in Jurassic Park. 😧

By the.time my daughter was 2 she learned how to defeat every type of visible child proof lock.you could use on drawers and cabinets. I finally had to spend some serious money on the hidden magnetic locks for everything in her room. I once left the magnetic key in there by accident and she used it to open every drawer and take out all her clothed.

She is now 3 and her 5 year old brother asks her help to unlock the cabinet where the trash can is so he can throw out trash.

And as far as gates, I have the tall.ones, and they both scale them like SWAT teams without even trying.

We had that plastic childproof thing over the door handle and one day my kid hulked out by grabbing it and ripped it off. He proceeded to say I just wanted a fruit snack

We have the magnetic ones only on cleaning supplies and the good China. And the retractable gates until my 2 yo pulled it out of the wall

You know what’s funny - I have never put a child lock or barrier on anything and we have never had a problem (except on the stairs). My daughter is two and doesn’t “rummage” through anything. I wonder if it’s because it’s always been open to her it’s like no big deal and she ignores it.

Could be worse, you could have a climber. Then every gate is defeated! 🧗‍♀️

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.
