LOL! Imagine if our parents had sued back then every time we got hurt. We'd all be rich!
OMW, when I think of all of the times I got hurt. I was a little tomboy. Loved to get dressed up and look pretty on Sunday, but my summers were full of climbing trees, roller skating and riding my bike. I learned quite a bit about the laws of physics with some of my dumb tricks.
Most of the time, I avoided letting my mother know about some of the stupid stunts I tried, e.g., trying to ride my bike down the concrete steps at the library. Mom and Dad would not have complained that the library had not posted a sign over the steps warning of the dangers of riding a bicycle there; I would have been asked what I was thinking to try such a crazy thing.
I raised my children the same way. Kids need to run and play. They will fall down and get hurt on occasion, but that is part of the learning process.
Today’s parents — well, not all but far too many — are idiots.
Sorry for hijacking this thread, BTW.
