This is a fb status posted by a friend of mine.
Oh dear!!! Get up to find (ds) has taken all my wet washing out the machine, in the draw part he has crumbled bread and cracked eggs as washing powder, climbed up on the side to get a sharp knife to cut the lid off the glue as comfort!!
Now I think this is quite shocking and said so.
I was met by comments from other people saying their dc's had done similar, others saying about how clever this boy is, comments about how they are just copying parents and have vivid imaginations and so on.
I said that this could have turned into quite a nasty accidents and that I felt that as parents, it's our job to assess all risks in our homes to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen.
I mean, sharp knives?
She later said he'd dragged a chair over to the counter, climbed up and took the knife out of the block.
Now IMO, if your 3 year old is capable of this kind of thing, you shouldn't have a knife block on the counter or not allow them to have access to the room.
AIBU to think this is quite bad?
