[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](Our old neighborhood had few kids so this wasn’t an issue to question )

We moved to a new neighborhood and the kids here played outside everyday until the weather got cooler. They would run door to door to see who could play. There’s about 12 kids in total on just two streets and all attend the same schools. They now come right off the bus and inside for the evening saying it’s too cold out to play.

Should I not be sending my kids out with jackets and gloves when it’s cooler? It seems other parents do not let kids out in this weather in the neighborhood.

What’s reasonable for weather? It hasn’t been cooler than 40s and I expect it will get colder as winter comes about. Does playing outside stop when this weather comes?

Will it be no one outside for winter?

I send my kids outside if it’s above zero.  If they get cold, they will come in.  If they are outside playing, others will come out.

But yes - [b]people around here think under fifty means it’s cold. [/b] So there will be less playing outside. [/quote]

Perhaps the kids are blaming the weather but, don't want to play with op's kids?  And not 'all people' think that below 50 is too cold to play![/quote]

Np. Go to any playground this weekend. It’s noticeably less busy and will continue to empty out as the weather gets colder.

It’s probably a safe bet to blame the weather over other kids suddenly developing a dislike for OP’s kids.[/quote]
