To buy a trampoline as a childless adult

[Iknowmyself]

I have recently bought my first house... always loved trampolines as a child. Have seen someone advertising a secondhand trampoline on Facebook at a good price. WIBU to buy one and put it in my garden? I'm single and don't have any kids. My next door neighbours are a retired couple and I'm worried they would judge me bouncing in the next garden over!

What about your pelvic floor?

She doesn't have kids, it'll be in great condition.

Is the garden level??? I tried going on my sons trampoline but the garden was on a slope.... took me half an hour to get off 🤣🤣

Might not be after the trampoline.

It's the things we don't do that we tend to regret, rather than the things we do...

Go for it! They are great exercise.

Go for it! Love a shot on my kids trampoline when it's free. Who cares what anyone thinks?

Have you been on one since being a kid? I’d maybe see if you enjoy it as much as a grown up. Sometimes I have a go with the kids and it’s really not fun anymore!

Absolutely. But it now!

My next door neighbours are a retired couple and I'm worried they would judge me bouncing in the next garden over!

I imagine they'll be too busy offering up Holy Novenas and goat sacrifices in grateful thanks for you not bringing in a horde of screaming kids to ruin their blissful retirement peace.

Do it!

Yanbu! Have fun 🙌

Oh go for it!

I used to love that urban rebounding thing at the gym and I've had 2 kids and didn't even wet myself, so think your pelvic floor will.be grand! Do your kegals though!

I did just that.

It was great fun and I used it as a garden table, once the novelty wore off. Dead good exercise!

Do what the fuck you want my darling

You’re childfree, so can basically do whatever you want! Enjoy it!

If you’re worried about the judgment, just say your doctor recommended it for an old injury, nobody can criticise you then :)

I pole dance in my garden. Do it.

Adults are allowed those little low fitness bouncers, but NOT a standard big trampoline.

Not really... you do whatever floats your goat!! You're not hurting anybody! Some places hold adult bouncy castle sessions, so a trampoline is terribly mature and sedate by comparison

Honestly we got one for the kids and I had so much fun.

do it

If anyone asks you have one for your visiting nieces and nephews...

Yes! I go to a class once a week and love it (our garden is too sloped 😡)

With no kids she’ll have a pelvic floor as well sprung as a trampoline.

I’m a middle aged woman with no children - there are lots of us in my road. If you were my neighbour I’d be asking if I could have a go.

I can just imagine the post in a few months time:

“My next door neighbour has bought a trampoline and keeps peering into our garden and waving to us over the fence. We have been saving our whole life to enjoy our retirement and just want a few peaceful hours in the garden. All we can hear is the bounce of rusty springs, and shouts of ‘weeeeeeee’! We are not sure if the latter is an exclamation of excitement or her vocally expressing the product of the resulting impact on her pelvic floor muscle. How can we get her to stop? Should we speak to her or post her some tena lady?”

Do it! I love going to trampoline parks with my kids, it's so much fun.
