[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I have to say being originally from Chicago is that parents here are such helicopter parents.  It's ice. It's snow. Walk a bit slower. It's fine if you're careful.  It's not Armageddon out there - no fire and brimstone. It's not even horrible - it's not totally care but you can look both ways before stepping off the sidewalk for 20 seconds to avoid ice on parts of the sidewalk.  Maybe not at age 5 but if you're 8 yr old can't do that it is bad parenting. No wonder our country is going downhill!

No doubt it’s the mom who is concerned about her 8 year old falling on the ice that reflects bad parenting and is responsible for the decline of the nation.  Never change DCUM.[/quote]
The mom was concerned about brain damage if her child walks outside when there is snow or ice.   :roll:

Not Chicago poster but it’s a really thing we are collectively raising a generation of anxious children with not a lot of resilience.  Not just a DCUM opinion.

Seeing potential brain damage when you see this storm aftermath is pretty indicative of how a person sees the world and parents so…

I personally know 2 people who were hospitalized from slipping on the ice last year, so it’s not as irrational of a concern as you seem to think. It may be overdoing it, but Arlington is not Chicago and that background probably accounts for some of the parent’s excessive concern for weather conditions someone from Chicago grew up navigating. To call it bad parenting is straight up DCUM mean girl bs.[/quote]

I also grew up in the North. Things are different here. The North can handle the snow. We can't. [/quote]
