Im really mad at the moment.
Me and dh have a dd who's 17 months.
We have a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs (not at the top due to it not being needed as dd does not walk around upstairs).
Dh is leaving the stair gate open around 3 times a day. This is due to his work phone going off and hes rushing to get to it when its upstairs, rushing to the loo etc etc
Dh sometimes justifies leaving the gate open saying dd was in her highchair so he didn't need to close it straightaway.
I always close it whenever i open it, its automatic for me.
However at least once a day dd climbs the stairs unattended because the gate has been left open.
Yesterday i came into the lounge after clearing up the kitchen, and couldn't see dd. Surprise surprise the baby gate was open!
Dd was sat on the landing at the top of the stairs with her doll in her arms. So dd had climbed upstairs, gone into her room, took the doll off the chair, and was trying to make her way back down!!!
I ve told dh that dd will break her neck falling down the stairs and he obviously doesn't give a shit about her safety!
He says i shouldn't have a go at him and he's sorry he makes mistakes and forgets things!
I told him that once is a mistake, twice is deliberate,and three times is just bloody irresponsible!
His response is that i should always check the baby gate is closed!!!!
Argh!
AIBU?
