I work at a theme park.  Today it was in the 40s for most of the morning.  I saw so many little kids running around in shorts and t-shirts, some crying because they were cold, and the parents told them to suck it up.  Even worse were the ones that were already sick and coughin everywhere.

The best one of the day, was a women with a 3 week old baby, in nothing but a short sleeve shirt and a diaper.  The poor things lips were blue, and she was just wimpering, because she was so cold.

/end rant.

What the hell, why. Why are these kids at the theme park when they're sick and cold? Or is it actually the parents who want to do the rides? =/

I don't get why you would take your kids to a theme park if they are sick.

You don't put a little kid out in this weather in short sleeves and shorts to toughen them up, that as far as I am concerned is child abuse.  These poor kids had reason to whine.  I was in pants and a heavy jacket and it was really cold for me because of the wind chill.

I must agree with you.  The kids these days are such wusses and a lot of the parents baby them.  Mostly the reason why kids get sick is because the parents don't expose the kids to germs that help them build antibodies.  And the parents shield their kids from the world. As my dad says "We're raising a generation of pussies, I'm just glad that I'm not...although I do wonder about your sister...."

"The kids these days" ?
What, are you like fifty? Shut the fuck up. If you can prevent your child from being sick, you should fucking do it.

There is a difference between exposing your kids to germs, and making them uncomfortable and putting them in a situation to get a serious illness.  Exposing your kid to the common cold or chicken pox is one thing, but pneumonia and bronchitis are another.

I was exposed to illnesses as a child, but was never made to go out in the cold, and be absolutely miserable.  I'm not talking about 12 year olds.  These kids were 6 and under.

Haha no I'm not 50...try 13.  I should clarify, when I said "parents don't expose the kids to germs" I meant that, yes I do believe that kids should recieve shots and all of the medical hubub, but the parents shouldn't wipe down everything with disinfectant and bathe their kids in hand sanitizer everytime they come in contact with something.

Except this thread isn't about parents being overly anal about protecting their kids, it's about parents endangering their children's health by letting them out in freezing weather in inadequate clothing. Which is actually stipulated as child abuse in my state.

It should be considered child abuse.  I wanted to give the poor kids my jacket.
