How should i convince my husband baby proof the house?

our son is 10 months old and has started to explore the house, he comes to the kitchen and opens all the drawers, he has had small accidents while exploring through kitchen, I asked my husband to get the doors so that we can keep our son out of kitchen, he says there is no need to get the kitchen doors.. All my ways of explaining has failed.. Please help me how can i convince my husband before anything serious happens?|||Tell him that he needs to get the house baby proofed before his kid get seriously hurt! And if that doesnt work threaten to leave him|||Im confused on why the kitchen needs doors. Soon you'll probably be in there with him, while he'll be playing and you'll be making food. Another idea would just get the cheap little things/latches to keep the cabinets and drawers shut.|||sometimes they need to see first hand what happens when they arnt around. leave your son at home with your husband for quite a few hours if you can think of a good excuse. make sure its long enough for your son to go to work.goodluck!!!!|||Why don't you baby proof the kitchen then??





You don't need to rearrange your cabinets, just put locks on some of them, but leave some of them unlocked, ones that are safe- like tupperware ones, pots and pans, etc.|||Why can't you do it?





I mean, we are all equal, aren't we?





You know you can just put locks on a few of the cabinets, and move any chemicals up and out of reach. It's not that difficult. I locked 1 cabinet, the one under the sink, because I kept soap and stuff under there (the chemicals were not under there). Everything else was open. Once he realized that there really wasn't anything all that interesting in the cabinets and drawers he left them alone. Oh, and another trick I did was put toys in ONE small drawer on the bottom that he could reach. He would come into the kitchen and only go to that drawer. Worked great.|||Baby proofing means removing the things you don't want your baby exploring. That means you rearrange your drawers and only keep things that are safe for him to explore in his reach. Everything else gets moved elsewhere.





Baby proofing does not mean locking your baby out of important living space so that you can continue with lazy parenting.|||We never used baby gates. We just put the locks on the cabinets and drawers that held the dangerous chemicals and utensils.





If I ever had to put something in or take something out of the oven, I'd just pop the baby in her crib for a minute until I was done.





Baby gates aren't necessary.|||Why do you need your husband to do it? Last time I checked women are also capable of putting a few screws into a wall, it's not that difficult. If you can't agree on the doors then put locks on all the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen and keep anything sharp/toxic/swallowable out of reach. If your husband doesn't agree to that then just do it. You shouldn't need to ask permission to keep your child safe.
