I would never mean to judge someone or tell them how they should parent. Then, I decided on things that people are less aware of I would. If it saves even one child unnecessary pain or death, I decided it was worth the risk. <BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about choosing risks. We let our 12 yr old son ski without a helmet recently knowing that he'd be the only one wearing one if he did. Of course, another 12 yr old skiing at the same resort that same day came into the ICU with severe head injuries! Sometimes you just pray and hope for the best.Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944075197437870258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24323166.post-1145852657843214522006-04-23T23:24:00.000-05:002006-04-23T23:24:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting.

Even though we had things under control, I do realize things can go wrong. We all have to decide what risks we are OK with, and act accordingly. So, thanks for the comment, no offense taken, and I hope we'll get to know one another better!momofalltradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476620616383468803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24323166.post-1145832685332789722006-04-23T17:51:00.000-05:002006-04-23T17:51:00.000-05:00You are a very busy woman!

I, too, have fond memories of riding on my grandpa's tractor. But, it is very dangerous and people just don't know it. My husband sees at least one child come into the ICU each year who has lost enough flesh from this practice to be in critical condition. I hope you don't take this wrong and I don't mean to be a downer. I am glad you had such a wonderful day!Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944075197437870258noreply@blogger.com
