Child on trampoline in the rain

[Thethingspeoplegetupto]

If you looked out of your window and saw the child next door to you, in the pouring rain, running in the garden and jumping on the trampoline, what would you think?

Deleted, sorry just saw your update

@malmi Why would you find it concerning?

@kitsuneghost, it’s a saying. My family version is ‘haven’t got the sense’ rather than ‘don’t know enough’, but you get the drift

Thinking someone else's child has ADHD when theyre behaving completely typically for a child, just because yours has, is a bit of an stretch IMO but there you go. Everyone's different.

I'm with you OP, I live in a very wet part of the UK and if I kept my child indoors everytime it rained he'd barely ever go out.
As long as she is dressed appropriately, I'd think nothing of it

I’d think it was probably my grandson 🤣 or his clone.

Honestly?

I would think, I can't watch. She's going to hurt herself.

I LOVE trampolines, as a child I spent a lot of my time on mine.

but age/ MN has made me paranoid about kids breaking limbs & worse.

Theyre quite dangerous when wet.

typical Mumsnet though, when a situation is less safe it'll be all 'she won't melt' etc but on a nice dry spring day trampolines are the worst thing ever!!

im glad she enjoyed herself & didn't hurt herself.

the woman next door is daft. IMO

the cold/rain wouldn't bother me in the slightest, they'll come into a warm house & can bathe/shower & put on warm/dry clothes etc. just the slippery trampoline

didnt stop me as a kid & we were pre netting too!

I’d been very concerned. Because my next door neighbours are cows 😆

I'd think that looks like fun!

Oh look at that child, might slip in rain, having fun though, what shall I have for lunch.

Next door don't have kids

I don't want a trampoline in the communal garden

Told you not relevant 😉

That they had energy to release and aren't going to let the rain stop them doing it

It's not really up to us to police what other's kids do in slightly inappropriate weather conditions. If you could see your neighbour's kids through a window playing a game console all day in sunny weather, would you be similarly concerned?

It's just rain and a healthy child is a hardy being. It's not a young child running barefoot in the snow for long periods, is it?

Your neighbour is ridiculous. Can just imagine what they would say if they had seen my daughter at 4 years old, go outside in -30 degree weather in her pyjamas to check if it really was cold (she didn't believe me when I said it was very cold). Or in the early spring when the sun is shining but its still -10 or colder and she'd go out in a sundress because sun=summer in her mind back then

I'd love to see cows on a trampoline in the rain

Sorry OP, didn't realise it was your DC. Your neighbour sounds a nosey arse. My sympathy.

I'd think that kid is out on that bloody trampoline again, if it wasn't dangerous enough she's doing it in the rain. And why the fuck is she wearing a puffa jacket in this rain? It'll never dry and when it does it'll smell.

Having seen a kid break a leg slipping on a wet trampoline I'd be concerned about that (and mine weren't allowed on when it was raining), everything else wouldn't bother me. My dc were out in all weathers until they hit teens!

Absolutely amazing! My children used do this all the time and add the garden hose in for good measure. You do not need to call SS, 101 or 999.

Yeah fine

Kids don't have much common sense unfortunately

It wouldn't do anything other than humour me. That's something I would have done when I was young!

My kids often have crazy moment and go on the trampoline in snow/ rain. They laugh and enjoy it!

I know your not supposed to use when wet hope they have a net a least they can be dangerous. Next door neighbours child broke his arm on a wet trampoline.

That they were getting some exercise and having fun! My kids regularly run about in the rain, they then come inside, get in the bath and get dry clothes on

I would be wary of the trampoline -does it have a guard? And trainers are probably better than wellies in terms of landing awkwardly if the welly half slips off . But playing in the rain is fine . Embracing whatever the weather sends is to be encouraged .
