My son who is 4 threw a plastic ball in the oven when he was 3. I didn't know it, had no idea he even went in the kitchen. I preheated the oven for dinner that night and the mess and smell were terrible!
That made me make sure to toddler proof the oven. I didn't even know he could open the door ?
Baby proofing should be more proactive, than reactive. Waiting until he figures out the cabinets to lock them and waiting until he figures out the stove to lock it is dangerous. I know, I know, I should be the cool mom who thinks its funny to take pictures of toddlers in dangerous situations like you all, but I care more about my child's safety than that.
"She took a picture, she isn't encouraging it!" Ummm...wtf do you think the act of taking a picture is doing? Reinforcing that mommy is amused by it...encouraging it. Positive reinforcement leads to continued behavior. Pretty simple.
he'll be two in November.
it started with the cabinets. once he discovered those, next was the fridge, toilet, and now this. I would have baby proofed a long time ago but our landlord doesn't want us to. at least not the cabinets.
How old is your lo?
I read the comments and my initial thought was some women can really exaggerate things on here. But then I thought of my son who is now 4 and how I have always explained to him how dangerous some things in the home can be and it made me think that maybe you should have had that stove child proofed already. My son never goes near the stove and was taught from early on its dangers.
Maybe you should go through your home and take inventory on what needs child proofing so you do not have anymore potential pics..
I kind of feel bad for you pp, children expecially toddlers get into things, in fact I should start a thread of craziest things toddlers done, users have claimed kids cut thier own hair, shoved toothbrushes in toilets and so on. I don't expect a first time pregnant mom to understand, I've been through it.
Op took a picture she didn't encourage him to play in it
I did not LET him do anything. yes, I took a picture and got him down. I already said its not happening again, it's done and happened so what do you prefer I do mommyness?
& I like you shrimps but I could say the same about your choices in men and dating ?
man, I'm so torn I'm not getting any D ?
you're not even worth replying to lol, so next.
I said I would be off this post...but one last thing before I go
Mkrystine
I dont need to stalk on your post to remember it was you the one that posted it a few days ago.. and yes I did feel the need to comment because I came across your post which is open to anyone that wants to comment on it.

You got that right! Im def lacking on the "d" as well but unfortunately Im on bed rest, there is nothing I can do about it, at least once I give birth I can get all the "d" I need and still take care of my baby unlike other people who apparently cant do either or.
I love it when people stalk your posts lol. my "lack of D" has nothing to do with this. ?
if you would have read the comments I stated a while ago I was going out to get locks. this won't be happening again so no, there really was no reason for you to comment and repeat what others have already stated.
and I'm sure the pp you're talking to was agreeing with you ?

Oh yeahhh I will relax as I wait for him to learn how to turn it on and set the house on fire or even worse get himself on fire...
Anyways not my kid, not my problem.
Apparently her lack of "D" is interfering with her parenting but like I said not my kid and def not my problem.
And off this post I go because I shouldnt have even commented.
Lawd what a cute picture. ..Being a Sociology major I have to saw Im glad she snapped this picture instead of freaking out and causing a panic. ..Curiosity is part of childs nature and yes as a result sometimes they get hurt however she's in the room oven's off and she is going to get child proof stuff. . Overreacting could hinder the childs nature to naturally explore lol
I didnt find this funny at all.
Instead of finding the time to be taking pictures you should be getting him off! For god sakes he is standing on glass!
?? so dangerous!
I believe by taking a picture you are letting him know you thought it was funny and cute and guess what? he could keep on doing it...especially when you are not around.
Hope the next post we see from you isnt about asking for prayers because your kid is at the hospital due to an accident with the stove??
relax already ? I already said I was getting locks. it's over, the end.
My brother climbed on the oven door as a child and the oven fell on him. Once it started tipping it would be difficult to stop the momentum of it. Please look into getting a lock for the door. And stopping to take a picture makes it seem like a fun thing for a kid. Losing you s*** and telling them no reinforces that the oven is nothing to play around.
Taking a picture reinforces the fact that it was fun or cute. Exactly the opposite of what you want regarding ovens. You may child proof now, but unless you never go into a different house (where they may not have child proofed), you still don't want him to think it's fun or cute to play in an oven.
When my DS was one, we moved from an apartment with electric to a townhouse with gas. He turned the knob without me knowing and my husband came home and immediately smelled it. I couldn't smell it because I was in the house I guess??
It FREAKED me out so I went and bought those covers and got the detectors for the wall! The covers are a pain though, when they are open, they flip down. I've knocked off so many tops and broken them. ? Always have some backups!
btw turtles, don't worry he didn't fall through the glass lol ?
no he didn't even try to turn it on thank god. but yup. I was doing dishes, turn around and woody is the oven. getting ready to head to Walmart now. I was hoping he wouldn't discover the oven either but toddlers, what can you do
wellp I'm not sticking around for the drama lol have at it ladies
yup. first time figuring out how to open the stove and he put his toy in there
Where did anyone call her a bad mom? Or say they were perfect? Talking about how this is dangerous is not bashing
