Who needs safety?

I don't know what we are going to do with the daughter. What's the sense in having baby gates and safety latches if the child can figure out to open them? We started having problems when the daughter was about 9 months old and she figured out how to take the safety plugs out of the electrical sockets. Then we thought we would be smart and got suction ones but she figured out how to get those out of the sockets too so we got even smarter and bought one's to cover the sockets completely. We had those for 2 weeks and she figured out how they worked at the age of two. She doesn't have a lamp in her room anymore because one day last year I went to get her after nap time and she had the whole lamp taken apart with the cord still in the wall. I think I got 101 grey hairs that day. Nothing stops this child from being safe. We spend all this money to protect her from day to day safety but our smart kid shows us her parents up by figuring out how to open stuff. I don't know why we bother putting safe measures in place and spend money left and right for new safety latches and such when she gets around, climbs over and figures out every knew gadget out there. I'm lost for words. It's like beating your head against the wall telling her how these things are supposed to protect her. She looks at you like you're stupid. I think I need to put my daughter in a bubble. Blah!!! Take care, Peace!
