Honestly I despise kids that can’t handle being outside and I have a special hdistaste for physically unfit children unless they have a disability that precludes it.

You have a special distaste for them? Can I punch you in the face pretty please?

It’s not cute to have fat soft kids who can’t run or be active. I’m sorry that hurts to hear. You may as well know people are already thinking that. The human body was designed to move!!!

We have to look at your pancake ass dear. That’s not cute either

Why so reactive??? Get your kids outside and moving!!! The obesity epidemic has an origin story and it’s in your house, your own lives. We can do better!

When we lived in Minnesota, we just bundled the kids in snowsuits and they played outside for hours.

This also. My kids play outside every day. Some days it's just 20 mins, other days it's hours. On cold days I bundle them up properly and have no problem.

Op, you need to find like minded parents in your neighborhood. Once you get one parent on board the other kids from other families will join. They may not play as long but getting outside is fun.

It has been freezing cold in dmv area these few days. I am an adult, and I don't want to walk outside in the daylight time.

We must not be in the same DMV. It’s not been that cold. I’ve been in a sweatshirt without a jacket all week and weekend.

Oh get over yourself. My oldest is an incredibly enthusiastic dancer who does gymnastics on the side. She is crazy strong and fit but hates to run and would rather dance instead with music on. My son loves every sport and is still arguing he doesn’t actually need a jacket. They are both great and healthy kids.

For poor families, lack of winter clothes might be an issue. It ought not be for other folks.

Says you. A lot of people don’t want to tromp around raincoats and boots. And that’s fine. We have shelter now. And heat. Lucky us.

Um, why exactly are you putting your children in raincoats and boots when it's 40 degrees outside?

A heavy puffer, warm socks and sneakers are fine. Don't forget the hat and gloves - ours in a cubby in the closet, easy to grab on the way out of the house!

My kids were outside today - it was about 40 and sunny in the early afternoon. They put on their heavy coats, a hat, and warm gloves, and kicked around the soccer ball for half an hour. Then they came inside and I made them hot chocolate. This was pretty reminiscent of my childhood, although I'm pretty sure my whole neighborhood would have been outside all day. Unfortunately, there aren't many kids in the neighborhood we live in now, so they just have each other and they get sick of each other after 30 minutes!


I will say that playing outside after school is hard right now - it gets dark at 5:00. My kids are the last bus stop, they get home at 4:30. There's no time to play outside!

40 degrees isn’t heavy coat and hot chocolate weather. Are you all serious? Have some of you ever even seen snow?

Yeah so it sounds like I’m not talking to you, fool. Why wade into a comment about fat unfit soft kids if it’s not your kids?

Plenty of fit, thin kids don’t like to go outside when it’s very cold or hot. It’s weird that OP and others are trying to make it some moral virtue like we are in an LLBean commercial or something. We have neighbor kids to our house all the time indoors, and vice versa.

We live in a cold and snowy state and my kids seem immune to the cold. They don’t care at all and often shed coats and hats while playing. But they definitely have had friends over the years that don’t seem to love thr cold and would rather stay inside. It could be the child’s personal preference or it could be an excuse for another reason they don’t want to play or can’t play.

Because my kid definitely doesn’t want to be outside when it’s cold so the PP “despises” her. Which is pathetic.
