My Archnemesis
NOTE: I have an 8-month old, I feel I have the right to complain about this.
Oh baby protective gear, how I hate you with an unrelenting passion. You consistently foil and harm me on showings and inspections.
Baby gates- why are you always closed and locked at the top of stairs and so hard to figure out how to open? I always have to hoist myself over you, smack my shins, and risk toppling down the stairs.
Door knob locks- on every single door! Why can’t I open you? You spin around and around and I can never grip you tightly enough to turn the knob. And why did you lock me in the basement that one time? I shake my fist at you!
Electrical outlet shock shields- why are you on Every. Single. Outlet. For inspections! Gah. Stop breaking my fingernails.
Babies, you’re good little people. I just hate your protective gear.


Hi Amy,
Interesting blog. We went the other way with both of our girls, houseproofing them rather than childproofing the house. Rapping on the forearm to not touch something, walk near or down stairs, climb stairs, etc. seems to be effective for us.
Is there 1 dude who takes all the pics for realtors? that what it seems like to me.
