It's odd. I don't know if it's the season but relationships of people around me keep falling apart. Not me and them but them and their significant others or spouses. Some are amicable falling outs and others are supremely messy. It's like an epidemic. It makes me sad. For them certainly and also for my self. Thankfully most are mature and "picking sides" isn't an issue. Unfortunately my firm stance on not picking sides has resulted in some folks picking for me. *Sigh* Anyhow I certainly wish them the best.
I figured it's about time for another review. Something I've meant to review for a while now are the drawer latches that we have been using to baby-proof the kitchen. After so much research my husband and I decided to go with the less expensive, traditional plastic latches over the newer magnet types. We ended up purchasing the Safety 1st Press and Pivot Latches. These two part screw in latches had everything we wanted. Easily operable by us and any guests, the ability to be left but "turned off" when unneeded, and simple installation. We've had them installed on the three drawers that have sharps on them for about eight months now and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. After about four months the "spring" (of which there is none, just plastic) started to fail to the point where we and out son could open the drawers without pressing down on the latch like you're supposed to do. At eight months they are pretty useless. While our son doesn't go into the drawers anymore we will be trading them in for something else when baby number two comes along. Since there are several small children among our friends and family we will be needing something that can be in for the long haul. Next time I think we may try those more expensive magnets...
