Re: Meme Thread for Memes and other assorted Lulz
It's just a rational decision based on risk/reward ratio.
Has nothing to do with fear, emotion, or being a "second string".
Reward: kid is a little happier that you threw him about ten feet into the air instead of just beyond your reach.
Risk: kid falls and gets badly injured.
Derp.

derp indeed.
Kid will be a little bit happier that you let him play on the playground, but he might fall off the monkey bars and get badly hurt. Guess he doesn't get to play.
You're making the case for helicopter parenting.

The risk of him falling off the monkey bars is not that high. Broken leg at the very worst.Okeefenokee wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 10:43 amderp indeed.

The risk from falling off the monkey bars with no one under him to catch him or break his fall is a fuck ton higher than if you're standing right under him, schoolmarm.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 10:45 amThe risk of him falling off the monkey bars is not that high.

LOL, no it's not. Do whatever you want, dude. You are the one getting nasty because other fathers wouldn't do this.

You're making the case for raising a bubble kid as a helicopter parent.

No, Kathy Newman. I am just saying I would not personally do this. You are the one who got personal.

I’m pretty sure that some middle ground exists between “helicopter” and “free range, feed yourself” parenting.

Your kids can't feed themselves?
