[quote=Anonymous]I nanny for an awesome 10 month old, but am so stressed out at work lately due to lack of baby proofing. The baby has been crawling for several months and walking for about one month. He's really good on his feet and is actually really fast!

The problem is the parents haven't really removed any of the glass/dangerous things in his reach. He pushed his walker past a display hutch thing causing a glass vase to fall and break. Last month he pulled down a bottle of wine from this decorative wine bottle display thing that's about 2 feet tall and sits on the floor, glass and wine everywhere So I have been on edge, always right behind him to make sure he doesn't pull down any more bottles but I'm mad they won't just put the damn thing away. Each time something is broken I've been in the same room as him, it's not like I'm not watching, he's just fast and I never know what he's going to lunge after.

So then last night he pushes his walker past a wobbly table, it catches one of the legs and down comes the table and lamp, glass everywhere and of course he's hysterical. I was scared to death as well, and crying once I got the baby calmed down and safe in his pack n play so I could sweep up the glass. DB apologized to me for having to clean up the mess and said him and MB have been saying they need to get rid of the table for awhile because it's not stable.

He said he was going to get rid of the dangerous stuff last night but everything was still here when I got to work this morning. The table is up again, minus the lamp. The wine bottles are still out where the baby can reach them, and there's a huge glass vase as tall as the baby that he is already trying to mess with. What would you do in this situation? I hate that keep getting broken but I feel like the burden is on them to remove these obviously dangerous things.[/quote]
