DS 16 was there watching it too and made a good comment - they have everything at home now so they don't need to go anywhere - as in entertainment - DVD, computers, video games even down to the mini playground in the back yard. At his age I was away for the whole day (and night) my parents must ofhad it easy LOL

Although my brother was more of a home person he still was out working on cars and stuff.
And proud to say we have an old Super tramp (don't make them like they use to this tramp I grew up on ) and its got no mats or net and guess what - NONE of my kids have had an accident on it.
I am very much into making kids be kids and I don't think there was anything he said that I disagreed with - maybe park by themselves but if the older two took the younger one I wouldn't have a problem... safer in numbers.
