When DD2's (2.5) walking along the pavement I walk with the pushchair beside her to hem her in, so she always walks next to any houses we're going past.
There are quite a few houses on a hill where we live that have slabs of stone going down from their front doors straight on to the pavement, and she climbs up over them (very slow going ).
I've always had a bit of a guilt trip going on (not so much that I stop her climbing on them like ), mostly because I know how possessive some people can get about their property, but the fact they're actually on a pavement has balanced it out.
For some reason I don't let DD1 who's 11 go on them, and I don't let either of them go on peoples walls along the road, so I'm not letting them be hooligans or anything
So maybe DD2s age comes into it a bit and she's so cute she can get away with it it'd be different if she was older.
Do you think the people whose houses the steps belong to would give a shit?

AIBU?
To think it's OK for DD2 to walk on steps up to a front door when they're on the pavement?
