[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.

Op here. The issue with indoor play is that it becomes tablets and devices and not every child has one, so Billy, Bobby, Jackie and Jason all come over and start on Roblox but Leslie who comes over too, doesn’t have a device and then inevitably someone looks up something another child isn’t allowed to and it becomes an issue of policing what other peoples children are watching online. I stray from indoor play. I feel like I can’t see what your kid is looking up online and I don’t know what you allow or don’t allow and calling parents every few minutes to check on Jeff the Killer or the pencil nose character is annoying on both ends. Easier to just avoid it to be safe. [/quote]

Right. So as I said in the beginning it is an inconvenience to you that other parents don’t force their kids outside to play with yours in the cold. This is the only reason you care. If it was just for the “health” of it, you would send your kids out alone and not worry about others. [/quote]

Op here. I shared before that I do send my kids out alone. I posted because I was surprised that more families do not. My kids still while playing outside together stop by other homes to see if other kids want to join them. I see that as a nice thing to do. [/quote]
