Everyone seems to be scared of everything! kids don't live any more, scraping your knees, falling over, falling out of trees, banging your head on things was part of being a kid a bit of rough and tumble and exploring seems dead these days. If I ever ave kids I'd make sure they would be out in the fresh air not sitting on their arses getting fat eating burgers.”
And they may end up resenting you for that.
As a kid I hated to go outside and "play" when I just wanted to sit inside and read a book.
I hated getting dirty never climbed a tree even though we had one in out own back yard.
Sometimes I was forced to go out and it's still something I hold against them.
Never was over weight though in fact just the opposite spent a lot of time at doctors due to been very underweight.
