Would you allow your 10 yo to roller skate in the house?

No. I wouldn't let anyone skate in the house. It does scratch the floors.

I'll be the voice of dissent.
Yes, I do. We live abroad in a very large apartment with not a lot of furniture and the kids wear their rollerblades almost daily. They also use their scooters inside.
Floors are fine, they are not wood though.

Does anyone live under you?

No.

When ds was about 3yo I allowed him to do this, but the floors were not hardwoods, they were pergo. If they were hardwoods, probably not.

No, that would be torture for our cat.

No. Roller skating is an outdoor activity unless you are at a roller rink.

Do you have a therapist, OP? You need some help if you are seriously struggling with this question. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Everybody must live in a bigger house/apartment than I do. It would not be possible for a 10-year-old to rollerskate in my house.

*sigh. Absolutely not. Parenting Fail.

I use to do it as a kid but the floors were tile.

PARENTING fail? Why? Residence owner/renter fail, if anything. Roller skating in the house harms the floors, not the children.

No.

Apart from the potential damage to the floor, I think it's a safety issue. Also, someone rollerskating in the house might damage something with sentimental value, and I'm not OK with that.
