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?

looked out of my bedroom window the other day and saw a child bouncing around on the trampoline in the freezing cold, grinning and giggling. Seeing them so obviously enjoying themselves outside despite the cold made me feel happy.

Goodness OP, don’t know what your neighbour would think of DH, who has been known to point the hose at our children on the trampoline in the summer as they screech with glee!

yes, it’s slippery but they’re ok so far!

@shreknjumps Will her jacket really stink?!

That really made me smile, they sound like good fun

As long as they can go in when they want to that's fine.

When mine were young they used to run around in just wellies in the snow!

Trampoline of course has a zip net thing all around it, do they even come without it these days?
As I said, my anxiety had me worried about a potential slip…but, god was she enjoying herself too much

I work in a nursery we take the children in the garden in all weather's aslong as appropriate clothing and footwear are worn they absolutely love running around in the rain and splashing about. Only concern I would have about your situation is if the trampoline was slippery.

*She was enjoying herself so much

"Will her jacket really stink?!"

I'd say so yes. Get it dry asap!

My son was on the trampoline the other day in the snow, doing backflips. Great fun!

You don’t get poorly from being outside, cold and rain doesn’t cause a virus. Glad she had fun on the trampoline! Ignore your neighbour. My DD is the same, plays out in all weathers

Long as they were enjoying themselves and not shut out in the rain, why would I care?

It was almost a possibility in last year’s heavy winds 😆

I would think, why aren't they at school, and where did that trampoline come from, and shit when did Jane get a child?

One of my DC loves being out in the rain and standing in the garden feeling the rain fall on her face. God knows what the neighbours think 🤣

Children love rain!

At last year's village fete, the heavens opened and rain was coming down in sheets - it was quite spectacular! Everyone ran for the tiny bit of available cover. But the children were out there dancing and shrieking and having a wonderful time - I was quite envious!

This was the same neighbour who told me to take my dc indoors after I was sat out in the garden with her a couple of weeks after she was born. It was hot summer, but Dd was lay in her swinging bassinet thing (forgot the name of it) We we’re sat in the cool shade under our large garden umbrella and there was a light breeze…it was heaven! She said newborns shouldn’t be outside until 3 months or so

I've got two who "need" to be out on the trampoline, whatever the weather. -4 yesterday evening! But yes in the rain too. So I wouldn't think anything of it!

Where do you live OP where you have 18 degrees temperature today ?

I'd be asking if I could join in the fun - damn my dodgy knee!

Not much. Many children will use a trampoline to regulate. fresh air and a bit of rain won't generally do them any harm.

There you go, she's nuts.
Don't take anything she says to heart.

@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea Southern Europe, this is cold though, rain and coats, jumpers weather

Bearing in mind it’s likely a cultural thing as many seem to think weather makes every child ill

It would remind me of the time my DD zoomed around on her scooter for over an hour in the porting rain, at a campsite in Filey. Quite simply because there was nothing else to do. In the pub later that evening, people commented on how lovely it was to see her happy and smiling around the park, despite the weather. So, I'd say they're having fun.
