Today, I was on hold with the cable company for an hour. When I finally got someone, I walked into the kitchen to where it was quiet and slid across the floor, falling on my butt and losing my connection on the phone. My 2-year-old son had sprayed the floor with nonstick cooking spray. FML

OP here. Hi. Just wanted to say that I am extremely overprotective of my son. The house IS baby-proofed. The spray is always put up...this was the one time someone(not me) didn't put it up on its shelf. And I wasn't ignoring him. This is your standard, garden-variety "I stepped out of the room for one minute" kind of deal. Most moms know exactly what I'm talking about. So chill out some of you.

You must be that mom that owes him money. "You take-a my money, I break-a your leg."

because you know, moms or dads don't ever have to pee or eat or do anything but stare constantly at their child. no matter how much you baby proof and watch, kids get into things. maybe when you have them you'll understand.

Oh I so understand. I let my two year old sit and watch T.V with my nine year old twins. She wandered into my bedroom 15 minutes later greased up head to toe with pommade.

As a fellow mother of a two-year-old and wife to a man who never seems to put things away, I empathize with you. Sorry this happened to you. It sounds painful - and frustrating. :(

I have a two-year-old plus an infant so I get it. Do I feel bad for you? Sorry, but I was laughing too hard... it's a pretty funny story.

It sucks that happened to you but I thought it was funny because it reminds me of the stuff my parents say my brother and I did as children.

I understand that all too well, even my 7 month old will find her way into something while I go get her food. Children. They are so cute and devious!

Oh the joys of parenting I have to look forward to in a couple of years xp....hope you didn't get hurt too badly OP. My brother when he was 2 somehow got ahold of the fish food and dumped the entire container in there killing 98% of the fish xp. Toddlers are conniving.

I put my three year old down for her nap the other day and she came out covered head to toe in blue squiggles .... I still don't know where the marker came from or went to and I've searched her room twice

I think the people who say comments like "watch your kid" obviously have never had children in their care.

I totally agree with you!! I'm 16 almost 17 and I understand!! Now I don't have a kid, but I have babysat. It's a lot of work and I generally go home and sleep I'm so tired! My neighbors have a little girl who is the cutest thing in the world but wow is she a handful to deal with!

Am I the only one wondering how and why a 2 yr old had cooking spray ?!!

You deserve it because he obviously don't have his boundaries clear.

truth_teller23 11

He's 2 for God's sake. What 2 year old "has their boundaries clear?"

To all the people saying the kid shouldn't have been into the cooking spray: Dear jesus I hope none of you have kids! So he got into it ONE TIME. maybe someone forgot to put it higher up where he couldn't get it. Accidents happen. And with children, accidents happen OFTEN. but OP thank gosh it was only cooking spray and not some chemical that could've hurt him or ruined your floors!

Haha! Op and others who obviously HAVE kids most of the time are soooo on the money. It's easy to say your kid would never let go of your grip and run across the street until you realize god did give these guys free will. And they always behave better for aubt judy, uncle bobby, so no responses "well i have a niece and she'd never do that!" Just saying... Now if the the op poster stated the baby got into the gun closet and was playing with the live amo I might feel different, but I totally agree w her on this one. Kids do the darnedest things!
