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! 🧗‍♀️

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!
