[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve worked out on my basement gym while my 9mo DD slept upstairs in a very large house. I only monitored through the camera system. As long as you can see hear and respond, I don’t see the big deal.

Not the same as a very large house unless you live in a palace. A decade ago, I was at home exercising in our basement (small house) when a small fire broke out in the bathroom upstairs. Exhaust fan and birds’ building a nest. Smoke quickly filled our home. My older child was able to grab her baby sister and flee out the front door. I made my way out the back. It was not possible to go up the stairs at all. If my baby had been alone, she would have died.[/quote]

Ok but you also weren't able to save her, so how was what you were doing any better?

By the way, I'm really sorry this happened - sounds terrifying. [/quote]

Never said it was better. My point is that having someone with the baby saved her life. [/quote]
