Am I the only who dreads going to someone's house? Nobody has a baby proof home so the whole time I chase after Ashley and can barely look up and talk to people. I need to start inviting more people over to our house.

Yeah or I get " oh I remember those days when I had to chase after my kid. I don't miss that at all." Gee thanks.

My BFF has a 20 month so I go to her place most often. Our other friends are childless but we go outside or get a babysitter to see them.

Depends on the house. And frankly if they say let her go, I do. Obviously if she starts seriously ripping stuff up I will step in. But they say she can't tear stuff up, ok. Their house.

Oh how I hate knick knacks...and swimming pools with no fences.

I have always loved being a hostess so our house has always kinda been where are friends go when we get together. Now BFF just got a bigger house that is much more equipped than mine to hold all if us. She has a kid and understands the needs of a baby proof home. So when we come over it is awesome. However mil house I don't sit down until dd2 naps. They have a brand new kitchen so no cabinet locks anymore and dd2 is crazy into everything. Plus she wants to go to the steps and climb up and I'm constantly worried someone is leaving the basement door open. None if it is anything I fault them for just need to get through this phase with my sanity! Dd1 was not this crazy

Yep. I feel like all I do is chase her. Especially at the in laws, they have a ton of antiques and steep stairs. I'm exhausted by the time we leave. Though my SIL has a baby the same age, and just started walking, so they are gonna gave to baby proof soon, and then it'll be another house I feel "safe" in.

pmduggan01 · February 2014

I feel the same way.

I usually invite the people who don't have child proof homes over to us so i don't have to worry about Wesley breaking anything. I freed having to visit my husbands grandmother as she has tona of antiques, knick knacks and glass figurines all over and I'm constantly chasing Wesley down so he goes t break any. Then i will definitely never hear the end of it

I don't the area of the house we stay at is often ok enough that I'm not nervous

I'm good at my parents (he goes there during the week) and DH's sister's house, she has 3 kids ages 3 - 10. Both houses have toys and are fairly baby-proof.

As for most of our other friends, we invite them over. I do however, hate entertaining, so it's tough for me to break into having friends over. We have friends over maybe 2 times a month for light apps and booze

I find more exhausting when we go to non child-proof homes, like my ILs. They just recently moved closer to us so we have been over to their place twice now. The problem is they always have us over for lunch plus some do their friends, and they just want to sit FOREVER at the dining table even when the meal is over. Of course DS can't wait to get the heck out of the high chair once he is done. So we end up with ILs and their friends sitting in the dining room, while DH and I chase after DS while he roams around the rest of the house. Don't understand why they want us over if they don't even want to spend time with their grandson.
