My husband is really amazing with helping me with our LO. He helps with everything, getting up at night, giving bottles and the rest. Truely amazing.
But with regards to safety around the house, he is absolutely terrible. He is extremely absent minded. Our little girl is about to start walking, and she can reach to the top of our tables/working surfaces in the house. Now, my husband does knifemaking as a hobby, but he leaves all his "works in progress" lying around in the house on the dining room table and basicly every table in the house (bedside tables...). Now, he has agreed to put all his projects in the nice box I bought him, but he forgets to put it in there.
Now, I work from home on my laptop, and I watch my LO from where I work, but I am not standing right behind her every second of the day. I check every now and again, if all cupboards are closed etc. but I can't do this every minute. (My husband is home from time to time between projects).
We have agreed on that the bathroom door always stays shut, because of fear of drowning in the toilet. We have also agreed to that the door between the kitchen and garage stays closed, because of the risk of someone driving over her if the door is left open and all our paints, cleaning products and other harmfull things stay in the garage.
He forgets about 4 out of 10 times to close these doors.
Please tell me honestly (I won't be offended), should I just chill out a bit more on the safety, or is it reasonable for me to go into a panick about these things and become quite upset? thanks ladies.
