I went to a funeral today of a 17yo who blew his bike off a graveled turn at about 60 mph. no helmet - never wore one. His mom continually said how he never wore one, and was always safe. Yeah. just takes once. I kept having fantasies about standing up and yelling ' put on a f^&$ing helmet, you idiots!" to all his buddies sitting there. I didn't have the guts.

The part that makes me a good parent is that I do not care what they think of me (well, maybe I care a little but it doesn't change my decisions) as long as they are safe and well taken care of. <BR/><BR/>Luckily most of the time they think the world of me...just when I tell them no to the trampolines and no to riding on the motorbike thing the neighbors have is when I am the "meanest mom ever". I think you read my post about my daughter and what happened when I let her jump on the stupid trampoline even when I wasn't feeling ok with that decsion. Never again will I doubt myself like that.Radioactive Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588217525296865718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-87427709048395572182007-09-09T12:08:00.000-05:002007-09-09T12:08:00.000-05:00georgeh, i must disagree with you re the evolution...georgeh, <BR/><BR/>i must disagree with you re the evolution thing. as you know, evolution states that the 'fittest' are those that succeed in passing on their genetic material to the next generations. most of the folks you speak of have had thirty children by the time they are twenty so they win. doesn't matter how many of their kids are offed, there's twenty or so more to carry on.911DOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466669111561150174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-25533995967914998382007-09-09T12:06:00.000-05:002007-09-09T12:06:00.000-05:00georgeH, i believe i may know you. can you give me...georgeH, <BR/>i believe i may know you. can you give me a hint about what you do and where you live? are you one of us? do you like bicycles?<BR/>911doc911DOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466669111561150174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-89687269715432433472007-09-09T11:43:00.000-05:002007-09-09T11:43:00.000-05:00It's a cold cruel thing to say, but Think of it as...It's a cold cruel thing to say, but <B>Think of it as Evolution in Action</B>.<BR/><BR/>It's a good thing when people that stupid don't live to breed.GeorgeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736838055941100599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-38203927572543469762007-09-08T19:17:00.000-05:002007-09-08T19:17:00.000-05:00I personally like when said recreational equipment...I personally like when said recreational equipment precludes them from paying for adequate health insurance for their kids...Bostonian in NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806067349785623843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-45417429559337434512007-09-08T18:52:00.000-05:002007-09-08T18:52:00.000-05:00And don't forget the motorcycle of watersport fun,...And don't forget the motorcycle of watersport fun, the jet ski.make mine traumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149160428613740527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-85869799200183345062007-09-08T17:52:00.000-05:002007-09-08T17:52:00.000-05:00You are so RIGHT in this.

Recently in Podunk, a set of parents allowed their two young children to ride on one of those off-road 4-wheeler things---and the children got into an accident by hitting a fence----and the 4 year old died. Stories like that break my heart.<BR/><BR/>One of the worst (and preventable) accidents I ever saw in my ER days was a child brought in with deep lacerations all over her body. She had been jumping on a trampoline----and nobody was "spotting" her----and she jumped too far the wrong way and landed on a glass acquarium which shattered into glass shards, hence the lacerations. I hate trampolines.Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.com
