Right, we have a bad habit in this house of leaving the backdoor open when the weather is nice, Our back gate is very easily acessable from the street.
In light of recent events I have become very paranoid about someone snatching our daughter (she's 4)and I'm worried that dh tends to go up to the loo leaving lo downstairs backdoor open etc. So on Sunday I put a chain and padlock on the backgate. DH looks after lo at home all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, both days I have come home to find the padlock off and the door open , I asked him about it on Tuesday and he said they had been in and out of the gate all day and quite frankly the padlock is a pain.....
I have been suffereing sleepless nights and nightmares since poor Madeleine went missing, so am I being unreasonable asking him to do this one little thing, and would I be being unreasonable if I go completely bollistic at him when he gets home from work tonight?

Very scary. I am still so thankful that the people who brought him back were "goodies" -strangely, they seemed to be a group of about 4 Jehovah's Witnesses! LoL!!! They still looked at me like I was pondscum though!

Aaargh we had a stereo stolen from our garage whilst we were sitting having lunch in the adjoining room!! Burglars are VERY brazen and take chances like you wouldn't believe....

Put your foot down and if he won't obey the rules take the padlock key with you when you go out!!!
