You're in your early 20's (?). You have all the time in the world to settle down and mess around paying for some nosepicker that isn't yours and you only have a couple years in your life where running around drinking and finding your way in life are socially acceptable.
I know that. My heart just wanted what my mind knew wasn't good for me.
Besides, having a kid didn't stop her. That was one of the other things that bothered me.
She lives on the second story of a two story house. She owns that whole floor or w/e. The stairs are part of the layout, there's no door sperating them for the rest of the house and she refuses to get a child gate. "She doesn't go near the stairs".
It's just asking for disaster. Maybe I'm overreacting but I feel like a child gate is a must. To be fair, the kid is pretty good about not going near stairs without someone holding her hand, but still. It's not something I'd risk.
