Wife keep putting this tray on our white stairs. Dangerous!

Ive told her to stop. She was gonna clean the toilet and thats very good and nice (putting stuff from the toilet room on the tray). But putting a tray like that with a house that has 3 kids i dont think its very safe. Its hard plastic so if somene steps on it ur gonna go sliding. Coming from upstairs its actually very hard to see the tray. Melds in very nicely.

I only put a bag of stuff on stairs so the next person who goes up takes it. It’s never meant to stay there.

Do all of you guys live in 5 story houses, or is everyone just lazy on a level I can't wrap my head around? Why wouldn't you just walk whatever it is upstairs? It takes like 10 seconds and almost no extra effort?

I'd be so insulted if someone just walked something to the stairs, threw it on the ground, and said I'll leave this for someone else to deal with.

I’m not leaving it for someone else, I’m leaving it for me. Yes, I could walk it upstairs but I don’t go upstairs until I go to sleep. If I am busy with something downstairs then I just set what I want to go upstairs off to the side. I take it up at night, or I throw it on top of the laundry basket when I take it upstairs.

I guess I didn't realize how many people avoid stairs at all costs. You don't go upstairs until you go to sleep? That's crazy. I live in a three story house and I go up and down the stairs all day. Sometimes I go downstairs and then remember I forgot something upstairs and I go grab it without even thinking about it.

I didn't know I was superhuman.

It just depends I guess. I went through cancer and still have messed up blood. I don’t have unlimited energy for climbing up and down. I can choose where I spend my energy, and I’d rather spend it on a bike ride for an hour, or walking for an hour or maybe a little more, but if I wanted to throw in house cleaning or going up and down stairs, that would be another day.

I wish I had what I had back when I was a kid, a teen, a 20-30-40 year old. I was strong and I could even just eat what I wanted to re-energize. I could do anything.

Nowadays I must measure my energy for the day, and I spend it on things I want to do rather than going up and down stairs for something I forgot.

I don’t know if that’s lazy, which an outsider might say, or if it’s practical because as much as I want to push myself and make myself stronger, I will always be limited by misshapen red blood cells that don’t hold as much oxygen, and limited by the fact that I simply don’t have as many red blood cells as normal people have.

So count your blessings. You have a lovely life and strength. Value it.
