It's raining. It's pouring.


Is it bad parenting to let your kids play in a full blown downpour after they've been inside WITH YOU all day?

I swear it wasn't lightening or thundering.....

  4. That sounds like soooooo much fun!!!!!!!! Is that hail on the ground? I have let them outside after hail storms to kick around the piles of white stuff. Also if you never let them out...they , and you, would go nuts!!!!

  5. I don't think it is bad parenting, but if it is then I've out done you in the 'bad parent' category. Today, I let my kids do the same, only mine were still wearing their pajamas!! :) So, maybe I'm a bad parent...and a hillbilly?

    I really enjoy your blog. Thanks for all of the great, creative ideas you post.

  7. They must have had a blast in the rain. I let my son do it one day and he still talks about how much fun he had jumping in the puddles.

  10. It's only bad parenting if you lock the door behind them!

    Who doesn't like to play in the rain? Give me a good downpour and I will act like a 2 year old in it.

    and they need to get their energy out and give you a break!

  15. We've gotten tons of rain the past month so it Works for Me. I've been known to send the boys out (when they were little) to get wet, then back to the door for shampoo, then back out to rinse.

  16. Isn't rain nature's version of the sprinkler? And what self-respecting mom can deny her precious little ones the joy of playing in the sprinkler on a summer day?

    Such a fun mom!

  25. It's been raining here for the past three days, and my daughter (age two!) has been wanting to go for a walk in the rain. She also wants to go swim in her little pool in the rain.
