We wouldn't let our toddlers sleep without them, would we? And toddlers are much steadier on their feet if they climb out in the night to wander around. The last stop before the end of the road is pretty desolate.<br />MomQueenBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502633396015922540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397021564166196110.post-90342454521990230722013-03-19T15:01:38.321-05:002013-03-19T15:01:38.321-05:00This is so frustrating.

It's so frustrating to have a rule, even for good and worthy reasons, when the rule was put into place to ban one kind of action without anyone coming up with an alternative first.<br /><br />I KIND OF get the law against restraints, but I also kind of don't. During surgery, I had certain restraints put on me to make sure I didn't hurt myself. Babies and children can be restrained for their own safely, to keep them from hurting themselves. I feel very frustrated (third use of word certainly shows that) that there's nothing we can do in other situations where a person could be protected from hurting themselves. It seems wrong when a rule set up to protect people could in fact hurt them instead of protect them.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.com
