to expect to be able to bounce on a children's trampoline?

[parakeet]

Planning to buy a garden trampoline for the children. Have only just managed to talk husband into this. He wants to keep a limit on the size. But I am secretly hoping to have a bounce myself. Will it have to be massive to take an adult's weight?

YANBU, why would you want to buy the children a trampoline if you couldn't have a go yourself! My neighbour's children have just got one and the first I knew about it was when I saw thier dad's head bouncing up and down over the fence, am very jealous but as my son is only 8 months there will be a few years before I have an excuse!

They will have a maximum weight on the packaging which is usually the weight of a large adult. Agree with previous poster about pelvic floor though!

If you don't get one a adult can bounce on it won't be that long before the kids will be too big for it. we got a tp one from john lewis it is octagonal and had a bigger weight range for size

Our kids' tramp is 10 foot and it coped with me boinging about a bit. However it was a fairly brief boing; as previous posters have said, it's amazing how much pressure bouncing on a trampoline puts on your pelvic floor.

I hate to sound judgey, but that's really no way to treat a homeless person.

He's fucking tall though isn't he?

Ha ha ha Worra!

Worra!

And callling the person IT!

DD's trampoline is only 8 foot but I have managed a bump or three on it :)

Worra - I'm trying to decide whether I'd prefer to sleep under a bridge and have a dog-on-a-string, or live in a garden and be bounced on repeatedly by small children.

It's certainly a tough one. Not sure if my height would be a factor or not.

OP....you'll pee your pants anyway if you've had more than 1 child.

I mistakenly bounced on my nieces trampoline. For about 5 seconds. There was me thinking I'd done ample pelvic floor exercises.......

Worra

A little bit of wee does come out with each and every bounce...tis not pretty at all.
Also a sports bra is very necissary....again, i repeat, tis not pretty.

yabu, tis not a good idea.

"A little bit of wee does come out with each and every bounce..."

How true. Even if you think your bladder is completely empty.

It's like Bill Bryson saying "There's always a bit more toothpaste in the tube" - there's always a drop of wee left in your bladder.

No wee comes out of me since my surgery.

And after four VBs!

How do ballerinas managed after childbirth, I wonder??

Or sometimes, it just comes out in one huge embarrasing gush. Would have filled my flip flops but the rule is of course...no footwear on the trampoline

Piss yes...shoes no.

shame........

When we got ours, MIL and I both got on all excited....seconds in and we were both scrambling for the exit in fits. Terrible experience!

Will check the weight limits. Thanks for the warning but think the pelvic floor can take it.

Boffin they're so tuned and strong BEFORE they get pregnant...and they carry on dancing for a long time...I knew a girl who danced in the West End in The Lion King till she was about 6 months gone!

She was back on it a few months after she'd given birth. Bet she never weed herself.

I thought that too parakeet I honestly did.... do my excersises and all that...never get caught short...there's something magical and wee inducing about tramps.

I've boinged on a variety of sized tramps, in gardens and other locations, have to say I always weed before I broke the tramp so OP just get a normal sized tramp and you and your DCs can bong away
