To let DS (15months) play outside..

[celebmum]

Today after work I let DS who is 15 months old, 'play out' in the back garden whilst I got on with a bit of housework..

I had the windows open and the patio door, there are no steps/exits/steep drops that he acess to, no way he could of got out onto the street. he was playing with his sand pit and cars etc and going down the side of the house to put thugs through the catflap. I never left the kitchen or living room, I could hear him at
all times and see him for prob 90%of the
time... WIBU? My Sis who has no Chilean seemed to think this was too relaxed? No I'm beginning to wonder? He is a confident walker (walking 5/6 months) so not crawling about etc..

YANBU :)

Mmmm snippy you're assuming that the OP hasn't already done that before she did the housework. And my DS3 is usually in the garden while I cook his tea. You can't do everything when they're in bed!

Sounds fine. I wouldn't have let ds1 play out alone (PFB), but ds2 has been playing out with ds1 from about the same age. So long as you go out and play sometimes too, it's fine.
