And you know something always happens when you least expect it or at the most inconvenient time. That is not a risk that you should be willing to take.

That is a lot farther and longer than a quick dash down to the laundry room. I checked in every 15 minutes or so as I could.

No way was it “illegal.” Some of you live in such a privileged urban bubble.



This is genuinely hilarious. DC Urban Moms and Dads…is chiefly for urban parents?!?? Living in an apartment is, uh, not a sign of privilege, and being on the 14th floor does not mean you’re in a penthouse.

Umm, a house fire maybe? A break-in? Not likely of course, but it's irresponsible to leave them when they are helpless to their environment.


Do you understand how fires work, there is no way a fire could engulf your house in 10 minutes, what if someone break in while you are there and you are a small woman.


This might be one of the dumbest things I have ever read here, and that is saying something.
