[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Maybe you could put up a cheap temporary fence-not for water safety, but just to keep him away from the pool when outside. Like 'cattle mesh'-you could do that for a hundred bucks probably and just take it down when he's older.[/quote]

I appreciate the suggestion. I think what me and the OP are trying to do is illustrate how difficult our kids are through these examples. I could install mesh fence or a get a different pool fence. But that doesn’t solve the overall problem-which is that my 2 yo is a total handful. Other things he does:
-throws things in the toilet 
-takes toys and bangs them into the windows, hard enough that I’m afraid they’ll shatter
-dumps food on the floor (also throws food). My other child had stopped this by this age
-climbs into the dishwasher any chance he gets[/quote]

OP here- it's funny because one of the best ways I can illustrate my dd's personality is that she is basically un-containable. My friends would talk about how they would put their babies in a large playpen or cordoned off area so they could cook or whatever. It boggled my mind because my DD would just HOWL if she was contained and spend the whole time trying to break the structure down. We were never even able to use a high chair.  [/quote]
