"I never leave doors open when I am watching her for this very reason - I also would have picked her up and relocated the items elsewhere while holding her.
"I'm always on at him about safety issues and I feel like he never takes me seriously. Well, now I am left with the image of her bouncing down the stairs like a ragdoll and I am f***ing fuming. She could have been killed or seriously injured."
The mum asked her peers if she was being unreasonable for still being so angry with her husband, with one pointing out the lack of gates on the stairs.
They said: "Open tread stairs can be carpeted if they are made of wood, having all doors shut or a gate on everydoor to me suggests it either likely isn’t a suitable environment for a small toddler. What will you do in a few months when she can climb over stairgates?"
Another said: "Why do you need to pay someone to fit stair gates?? They just wedge in to the walls or bannister either side."
While a third added: "Definitely teach the toddler how to navigate stairs safely though. This wasn't DHs fault so give him a break, you'll have accidents too and you'll be glad for a bit of compassion when you do."
