It is a fact & common sense that sharp corners everywhere and these pose bodily danger when get in touch with high impact of force, esp toddlers start learning walking tend to knock here & there unintended, so...doesn't mean "round" is good too.

Talking of that, my No. 3 (1.5 years old) banged her head onto the glass edge of the coffee table.

There was a 1cm gash just under her right eyebrow.

Was rushed to Hospital's A&E for open cut treatment and stop the bleeding.

Final Bill = $214, for putting gel and tape over the wound. I was like

Lesson learnt: Better buy Personal Accident plan!

bk888, sorry to hear that. As parents myself, i understood your pain.

I thought all parents "automatic" buy hosptial and accident insurance immediately after child born ?

Personal accident plan - get from Safra will do. No need fanciful policy.

Supposed to be 'automatic'. But my no. 3 had a hole in her heart [VSD].

No insurer wants her. Thus the delay.

Now that the hole has patched back, I bought her the hospitalisation plan but missed out on her PA.

Hence the regret.

I was by some furniture shops that very few customers, especially those staying in flats would want coffee tables.

Space constraint since new flats are getting smaller nowadays.

Goodness.....you call that lesson learnt.....poor baby....the 'father' wants to save moneyzzzz

You should spend some money to change coffee table and ALL the sharp corner objects at her level. Or at least buy from DIY triangular corner plastic protector. One more thing, time to see FS master hehe.......

Sick in most part of Dec and Jan, complaints at work and now this.. I fully agree.

coffee table - i don't get fanciful ones or if possible, remove it. I feel it is an extra item in the living room taking up space.

What i did was to put a platic ikea table for children to do things. I can remove the ikea platic table immediately anytime or throw away if i deem fit.

Ah Hia & Ah Jie,

Mankind's biobody resistance to dieseases attacks the lowestst during 7/11/10 to 4/2/11, highest "natural death" rate during this period(check Tue or Wed?'s Shin Ming Daily News). This associates with Sun/Earth/season. After 立春, be prepared to chiong, after Sept Equinox, be preapred to slow down and 养精蓄锐 for next round. Hope I need not to mention this again. http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/2568/24jieqi2010.jpg

When resistance low, mental will be distracted & lose focus therefore complaints follow.

Follow Mother Nature, understand the cause/s. Take good rest, be prepare to chiong after cny.

An encounter is an experience, whether learnt and no repetition is another issue. No one can ensure no repetition of the same accident but can be minimise by HUMAN, need not FSM.

Coffee table is sort of "out-dated" - can't fit into today's need. Anyway can share why still maintain a coffee table?

Cup follows me everywhere - most time at my customised long study bench, sometime at dinning table, sometime on top of shoe cabinet (2 feet tall only) while reading newspaper on floor. Sometime read newspaper at dinning table too.

Once I had a coffee table-my legs always put on top, couldn't help, very naturally.
