[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a city girl but we always took time to spend outdoors; my parents were actually huge into camping. [b]IMO, it's very important for kids to be outside, be active, play in the dirt not only for physical benefits but also for emotional and immunity reasons. I[/b]t would make me sad if H wouldn't want to spend time outdoors and play sports with the kids. House maintenance is not that important, this can be outsourced. [/quote]

It is very important to you because that is how you were raised and probably have fond memories of it. It is not important to me at all. Well, the part about camping - I HATE IT. I think we generally deemed things important as per our past experience/fondness/memories. Or in an idealization of what a typical healthy childhood is or should be (if ours was unhappy).

Different people, different stakes.[/quote] it’s been proven that being outside, playing in dirt, fresh air etc is good for you. It’s not just the PPs opinion. It’s factual. [/quote]
