ff Happy Fatherhood Friday!

I do as much as I can to protect my kids from all kinds of ‘dangers’. Things like covered outlets, baby gates, video monitors and BPA-free plastic allow me to sleep at night. I do think that sometimes my wife can go a little overboard on the whole safety thing, though. We often joke that she would like to put our children in a bubble if she could. Although we work towards balance on this debate, I am reminded that this need for safety and products that promise it can be a cultural thing. Our first daycare provider saw little need to fix the nail sticking out of the cabinet or move the couch from under the window. My wife and I couldn’t handle it anymore (even though her four children were perfectly healthy) and decided to move to another daycare provider, but it got me thinking…are we a little nuts? What are the ‘deal breakers’ in your house when it comes to baby-proofing? What suggestions to you have for new parents or parents-to-be like c?
