Hey, my son climbed a gate WITH A LOCK at that age.

How was your kid out of your sight long enough to do that?

He was watching Sesame Street in our family room. I went upstairs to get his baby sister. I changed her diaper. He did it in about three minutes. The gate was five feet from our sliding back door.

Judgemental, aren't you? It is difficult to do household chores while carrying several children around. I actually leave my kids alone downstairs while I carry the laundry upstairs. Oh, the horror!!

"How was your kid out of your sight long enough to do that?"

You know, from almost any other FReeper, that would be posted with an implicit sarcastic tone, seeing as how the supposed thrust of the comment is ludicrous.

When the Wheel turns, there's going to be H*ll to pay--I wouldn't place short odds on the likelihood of any of these bureaucratic vampires getting their pensions.

They, and I suspect, you, will be lucky to escape with their hides.

Why do I have this strange feeling that you don't have kids???
