When the weather is nice/ok.....

Do you 'make' your kids go play outside? what about if they dont really want to? its ok today here and i have chucked them out to play but they want to come in, my mum just said on the phone the freshair will do them more good then sitting around the house!....hmmm i agree....

Yes I do, there's always lots of ba weather for them to stay indoors, so I tend to turf them out when I can.

yep, especially if im trying to make lunch/hoover/whatever.

there's always lots of running around and screaming with my 2, so id rather they did it outside

Lol ok i dont feel like such a mean mummy now i am trying to get some cleaning up done and they are both moaning at the back door, i even had "its snowing" a minute ago lol i refuse to have them charging round the house and fighting when they can do all that outside where i dont have to listen to it and they can get some fresh air

give them something they would never be allowed indoors - like a big bucket of water and things to throw the water around with
