And you let him do this? Apparently it's not your son who is the problem.
Of course I do. I actively encourage it in fact. I'm teaching him to dance a jig along the work surfaces at the moment, and his next trick will be to do the long jump over the cooker and kitchen sink, just for the Olympics.
Don't be such a moron.How could a child brush against a hot kettle, unless you put it on the damned floor?
Honestly, any parent whose child is allowed to get onto a kitchen worktop should be in court for neglect, it's ludicrous. Whatever next? Let them go into the garden shed and play with the Paraquat?
We've gone over this, do keep up.I don't have children, but I was one, and I never, ever climbed onto a kitchen worktop, and nor did my brother. Why was that, I wonder?
Knew it!There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0 -
To be fair, My Son does this regularly during bedtime in his bedroom. When he doesn't get caught and told off for it, he falls and cracks his head, losing any sympathy as a result. He does seem to have given up on the idea of climbing it, but I suspect because he has learned that falling off DOES hurt.
If a child tried to climb up the drawer handles in my new kitchen the drawer fronts would come off, as they are merely clipped on. Fine for opening/closing the drawers, but not for climbing on.
I suppose if a child did so and cracked its head on the floor that would be the fault of the kitchen manufacturer. And possibly the manufacturer of the slate floor tiles also because they are, y'know, HARD!Je suis Charlie.0 -

Which is exactly one of the reasons I don't want my son doing it. My handles seem fairly sturdy but I would rather not risk it.There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson.

If the cap fits. You'd obviously chosen not to quote any further posts by me which indicated my son got told off.There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson.

You don't want him doing it. But by you own admission he does do it. Notice the disconnect there?
Yes, I've caught him doing it, he got told off. Is that hard to understand?There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0 -

This is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.I suppose if a child did so and cracked its head on the floor that would be the fault of the kitchen manufacturer. And possibly the manufacturer of the slate floor tiles also because they are, y'know, HARD!
Straw Man Alert!
No one is saying that if a child got burned it would be the fault of the kettle manufacturer.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -
Has anyone suggested that we PLEASE think of the children yet?
Come to think of it, is it actually possible to be scalded by water at 60 degrees?
Suprised and shocked if you weren't expecting it, yes, but actually injured?0
