locked in a "discussion" about fireguards...we have a woodburner
iin the lounge. I say use one, he says no as better to teach
children danger/how to behave and supervise them and that they
are built with an instinct to not get too close to the fire
etc...what do you do? DCs are 3 (she goes nowhere near it and is
fine) and 18 months. Wasnt so concerned with DD as she was not
on the move her first winter and old enough her second to learn
no but DS, well on the move and not yet keen on no!  scaevola

consequences of a very young child making a mistake are just too
awful to even contemplate.  I'd definitely get a fireguard, and
I think your DP is being an arse about this particular hazard.
