Times when you've had to bite your tongue

lol! I'd just never seen it before!

Only 2pm here, we still have a playdate in the park to go to later. Although I kinda wish it was bedtime.

Is it nice weather over there?

BTW, your limerick skills are wanted in the nappy thread

There's a nappy thread? When do you have time to get away from this one?

Can I point out we put a lock on our bedroom doors....but for a legit reason! We have (or used to have) students stay with us and for their privacy and ours, as well as to stop them going into our bedrooms when we were working, we put locks on the doors. They are still on there as we don't see the need to remove them especially as we are potentially having students again in the summer.

I hope when we sell the house potential buyers won't think we are weirdo's locking up their children!

Were the locks on the inside or outside? The lock that I was talking about can only be locked from the outside! There isn't even a way to lock it from the inside!

Either way, I'm sure there was a better reason than the ones my mind makes up... I need to look at the bright side; I'm so negative

Outside! So we and our students can lock it when out of the house...

 

[robinator]

I need to do that....

 

[babydust1990]

I need to do that....

What? open more b&b windows, or put locks on the outside of your doors

ETA: I will judge you for the latter

No, this one is on the OUTSIDE of the door. I wouldn't be concerned if it was on the inside like most locks are. ETA: Not the lock with a key type, either.

Lol, the windows. It's what I get for not quoting on a hot topic

3. Naked pictures on Facebook. I would be horrified if they fell into the wrong hands. I wish a serial offender on my fb would at least crop the photo so you can look at the bath bubbles on her daughters head from the neck up.

Yes, with this I don't buy the "it's just my baby in the bath" line; your baby is still a human being and you are putting their body online. I don't post those pics (or even show them to family) because I see it as protecting her privacy, whether she is one month or 10 years, etc. But that's just my opinion.

My philosophy honestly has always been, if I'd be upset being the subject of the story/photo, then it's not appropriate to post about my children either.

Well spoken

Crap! My baby is awake!

Yeah, the ones on the kids' room in our rented house were on the outside, and it wasn't a key... it was the push button lock. So it wouldn't even be of use to keep someone out of the room, only in it!

I totally understand an outside keyed lock, though. That actually makes sense to keep someone out of your private space.

Exactly. We didn't realize it until we heard our son banging on the door... DH ran and realized he was locked in from the outside. We'll be changing the doorknobs this weekend.

The people we bought the house from seemed completely normal, so I've been wondering if there was a good reason for it, but I can't come up with any besides sleepwalking. Maybe the sleepwalker could climb over a baby gate??

Dammit lol! I best go to sleep soon anyway otherwise I'll have no energy to handle a 5 year old AND a baby

Couldnt you just put a windchime over the door so you'd hear if they were walking? I don't think your sposed to contain anyone when they sleepwalk (except maybe stairgates on stairs ect.)

I don't know... that was just the best reason I could come up with for these people putting the lock on the outside of their kids door. It's so dangerous to lock someone inside a room.

I know, what if there was a fire or something? The poor kid would be trapped

Crap! My baby is awake!

Mine is shouting "A mamama OUT!" in her crib. I'm feigning deafness while I finish my Diet Coke and reading of this thread.

Feel free to judge me.
