[quote=Anonymous]Don't feel bad about the trampoline, OP. They are extremely dangerous and a liability to have, and they are really unsightly too. You had very good reasons not to buy one. Your kids can use them at friends' houses.

I kind of regret not letting my son do Boy Scouts, but only kind of. I know this won't be a popular opinion but my husband and I dislike the BSA organization (the hypocrisy of refusing to allow gay kids/leaders because it wasn't "morally straight," but meanwhile kids were being molested for decades by "morally straight" adults and it was covered up). I know they have cleaned up their act in recent years but we still don't trust them for safety or want to support them. They also expected a huge time commitment from families, which we didn't want to invest. But I know my son would have loved it, he is outdoorsy and athletic, and he's definitely given me guilt trips about it, especially now that he's older and sees his scout friends going on these cool trips. Maybe I should have just held my nose and sucked it up.
