...to think that toddlers should go out for a walk every single day no matter what?

This is really an open question, I promise to take it on the chin if people think IABU >

So, I have dd1 (just turned 3) and dd2 (15 months) and they are lovely but never sit still. If they don't go out for a walk - ideally 2 walks - they're literally climbing the walls at 5pm. And when I say 'literally" I do mean literally: eg standing on the window sill after traversing the North Face of the sideboard, working out how to traverse across to the glasses cabinet.

Yesterday (working day for me) it was very cold and windy and they didn't go out and then were just awful and didn't go to sleep until 9pm.

So, should the person who was looking after them have taken them out?

We're in NZ, it's spring, mostly too warm for frost now, but yesterday we had rain and strong wind, and it was very cold out because the wind was coming at us straight off some snowy mountains.

I'd have layered up and taken them out, but AIBU?

I'm adding "dreich" to my vocabulary straight away! A very useful word around here right now....

Oh, that poor, poor Mum of twins.

Am very glad I live in a much less bossy country where it's up to me how I do most things.
