I was thinking the same thing, ive a son who will be 2 in june, and he can open and close doors with ease! The latch is on the inside which would make it harder to open for a toddler, but not impossible once they are tall enough to reach over, or even push a box or something and stand on to get to it! I have a typical stair gate and theres no way my son can open it, I struggle with it sometimes!I don't know anything about stairgates/ babies lol but wouldn't their stairgate be quite easy for a toddler to open?
Longtime lurker and normally wouldn't comment but felt it was important to say that- as someone with OCD who just finished therapy for it, this really isn't OCD in the slightest and it just doesn't work that way (atleast from my experience and what I've learnt in therapy), I don't think she'd be glorifying and enjoying these obsessions and depicting them so positively if it was OCD, as most if not all obsessions feel pretty horrendous and make you feel ashamed and terrified. However, I also have GAD which I have to say, I see some similar behaviors in her in how it appears to be an ongoing stream of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed about seemingly normal/everyday things like going shopping etc.I wonder if she realises how much fat and many calories those coffees are?!
I’m still going with that commenter that said OCD. “Remember my embroidery phase” - like she has to put everything in a box. She can’t have just done a couple of embroideries, practiced a skill she’d like to do again, it has to be a ‘phase’ that’s needs starting back up. It’s almost like everything is a performance or play acting. “I’ll do this #mumthing because that’s what #Mums do”, “I’m so OBSESSED with xyz it’s my whole personality now”. She genuinely does obsess over so many things though, she can’t just ‘like’ or do something once or twice. It must be exhausting but it’s her own doing

Would anyone who hasn't slipped into a paint sample induced coma like to do a recap?
the middle left one looks like a pair of ballsWhat is wrong with her wall art? Nobody wants to see different asses on the wall. Seriously. We all know that people have different body shapes and different skin colours. She is trying sooo hard to not dislike her body, thats why she‘s creating all this weird art
thank you thank you thank you. As someone who is a chronic OCD sufferer I hate to see this term bandied around. She does not have OCD.Longtime lurker and normally wouldn't comment but felt it was important to say that- as someone with OCD who just finished therapy for it, this really isn't OCD in the slightest and it just doesn't work that way (atleast from my experience and what I've learnt in therapy), I don't think she'd be glorifying and enjoying these obsessions and depicting them so positively if it was OCD, as most if not all obsessions feel pretty horrendous and make you feel ashamed and terrified.

It’s to show how quirky she is etc.Ok but why not use your handy to tickle and play with your baby? Why in the latest blog is Carys poking her with a tv remote?
Surely in a hotel that’s apparently so fancy there’s a full length mirror so she doesn’t have to lift her shoes up to the bathroom mirror?!
