My child doesn't tantrum at all gardening, he is good as gold actually, but when he has to be at nursery at ten to 9, spend all day there til 3.15 I am not really going to expect him to cope fine all day having walked 8 miles in a round trip
that would be unrealistic. Especially when it is a specialist speech unit where they will require him to be using a lot of concentration and trying to teach him to talk (don't tell me, I suppose I failed there too, GAVE him his neurological speech condition)
And thank you for your enlightening help on the more you walk etc, where would we be without you eh? As I said, he has been walking since 10 months and very competatnt and does not paddy and never asks to go in a pushchair. But tomorrow for example, we ahve to be at the SALT early. He has some sensory issues, so we will battle with food, then the communication problems whilst he tries his damn hardest to tell me what the issue is and he starts his sentence over and over and gets cross because I can't understand him, then we are already late and me slinging him in the pushchair and me legging it, getting a bus, then walking for 20 mins VERY fast off the bus just gets us there in time. I could of course get him up in the middle of the night maybe, then we might do it.
The thing is, every situation is different and I do not take buggy willy nilly at all. Of course I am patient with him, he can't talk FFS, he needs loads of patience - yet his understanding is way ahead of his age, making it even harder for him as he has loads he wants to say but can't and tbh, this alone, aside from ANYTHING else can take up the best part of nearly every day
But you didn't give an opinion or helpful insight you just labelled everyone that uses a pushchair after a certain age as fat and lazy.
Yes I use a pushchair occasionally, but also he walks the dog everyday and we camp and go for long family, out all day walks, which he loves.
