You are going to fit right into DCUM. Your kid is clearly destined to be an Olympian!

Ugh, these 4.5 year olds snowplowing down steep slopes so that parents can say their kids “did a black diamond” are a dime a dozen.

I know someone who caused her baby to have a brain injury by taking her horse riding in a Day Baby Bjorn, so, no.

Omg. As a lifelong rider, this makes me absolutely sick. What a clueless fool.

My husband and I took our 9 month old sledding and pushed her down this teeny tiny hill and my heart was still in my throat.

Even so, do you have any idea of how unsafe that is? JFC.

That's fine. We're Austrian (here temporarily). Both of my sons were on skis by 2, and very capable skiers by 4-5. But it's not uncommon when you live in the mountains and around ski areas. They still required a lot of supervision though, since their judgement was not on par with their ski skills.
