To let the kids sit on the trampoline in heavy rain because they want to?

[GhoulLasher]

THey're 7 and 3. They put macs and boots and hats ond they're sitting there with a blanket on their knees...they don't want to come in.

It really is pouring down. Do I let them carry on?

[ChocolateTeacup]

Yes, but give them hot chocolate when they do come in

[FriskyMare]

Yes :o

[Hellishday]

Let them. They having fun in a strange way.

[NasalCoffeeEnema]

I would

I remember staying out in storms. a friend had been told what do if stuck out in a storm so we used to follow the advice. More sensible advice would have been to go inside but thats not so much fun

[IslaValargeone]

Of course! As long as they know there is no bouncing allowed, let them get wet and be kids.

[worraliberty]

You're their parent, it's up to what you want them to do.

In or out...it's your choice, not theirs.

[auntmargaret]

Yes, for a while, then warm bath and cuddles on the sofa :)

[farnywarny]

as long as they dont bounce on it which could be dangerous, then yanbu!

[babycham42]

Yanbu! They won"t dissolve!

[dreamfeeder]

Yeah, let them, good for your kids for being proper kids and not wanting to just watch the telly!!! May my 11 month old grow up like your children, great job!!!!

[dreamfeeder]

i'd probably let them bounce, too!!! esp if a safety net thing up.

[GhoulLasher]

They're in..apparently it's stopped raining. How backwards is that?? They've gone upstairs to make a TV. their idea!

[peppapighastakenovermylife]

I had an urge to go out and dance like a fool in the rain the other night so no YANBU!

[GypsyMoth]

agree with worra!!

[GhoulLasher]

Well I know Worra but my inclantations can sometimes be a bit odd....so wanted a concensus.

[worraliberty]

I need to take a shit

Do I use the upstairs loo or the downstairs loo?

[ProcrastinatorGeneral]

I went for a trog to shops in the downpour here the other evening. Some of us need rain for a sane brain I think. Good job I live in the UK

[LoopyLiz88]

As long as it isn't lightning then why not

[HamstersDontSwim]

I'd go up stairs worraliberty.

[Chummybud1]

We did go out and dance like fools in the rain the other night. Me, ds1 age 19, dd age 8, dd age 3' went out, splashing, siting and dancing in the street, the neighbours all peered out their windows in envy. Hey you only live once, it's free fun, let your kids enjoy it

[EduStudent]

Hamsters I think YABU for giving stupid advice. She should obviously use the downstairs toilet. FFS.

[Tortoise]

I quite fancy trampolining in heavy rain. Just suggested it to my dc and they love the idea. Have to wait for rain though!

[youarekidding]

YANBU, in fact I love the rain and so does DS. chummy wish I had the guts to do that.

The other week at work I was doing physio with a pupil, he went into his walker and we were just going along the corridor to go outside when the heavens opened, he pointed outside laughing and indicating to go out so I opened the double doors and off he went. We had a great time.

[chicletteeth]

YANBU.

My sons loves being outdoors in the rain. He often strips down to his pants and runs around the garden for a while in it. When it gets too heavy he comes in because he gets scared.
He's 6
