[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the thing is that yours are young enough that you guys are still in"watch kids" mode all the time.  He over have older ones so they are used to not watching as much.  Different parenting styles.  But the cousin napping while watching kids would make me mad.[/quote]

Not OP, but I can read. Littlest ones for sister/cousin are 4 and 3. You had better damn well be in "watch the kids" mode all the time.[/quote]

NP here. I think the point is only the 3 and 4 year old really need constant *watching*. That's different than 5. [/quote]

Even a 3 or 4 year old can play in a room with an older sibling while a parent naps in the same house.  Outside with a lake is different, but in the example the OP gave the kids were all contained.[/quote]

If you consider "contained" to be *playing with ice-skates with sharp blades unsupervised,* or being in a kitchen that presumably has knives, a gas stove, even just a recycling bin with possibly sharp cans (the child in the kitchen was 2), then you are one of the checked out parents OP was referring to.[/quote]

How can the child in the kitchen have been 2 when there were only 2 girls and the "girls" were upstairs, and the youngest boy was 4.

2 and 4 are two totally different things.  The vast majority of 4 year olds are capable of being in a kitchen.

The "blades" on ice skates, new or old aren't sharp.  When you "sharpen" ice skates, you sharpen them to a right angle, which would be like the dullest knife on the planet. [/quote]

You really are incapable of following this, aren't you. The OP was giving an example of what happened "one time." She also referred to her "then-only child." When the first person questioned the ages, she clarified that the child was TWO at the time and is FOUR now.

God, I wish people would get stop ignoring facts in order to justify their own stupid opinions.
