[quote=Anonymous]No way could my 5 year old jump on me without consequences! It doesn't matter whether he's just playing or not, hurting another person is NOT ok, least of all your own mother! I carry his little sister a lot still and honestly I love that kind of "physicality of parenting." It keeps me in great shape. She's 25 lbs and I basically don't feel her. I can lift her as many times as necessary out of or into her crib, over my head, carry her up and down stairs, into and out of stroller... I just turned 42, and I feel very strong. My 5 year old is 42 lbs, and I can also easily lift and carry him. I am dreading a time when they are both too big to be carried because I think I'm going to get weak. But punching, jumping on my internal organs, poking my eyes out, etc.? No freaking way. That is off the table. That kind of behavior would result in an immediate time out and conversation.[/quote]
