What kind of errands....
| Wed, 08-31-2005 - 1:41pm |
Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?
I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

Well, I dont think that one needs to be involved in physical activity *24/7* but I think its very very important to get kids on a regular schedule of being active at an early age, so that they grow up used to DAILY activity and find enjoyment in it.
Considering our country has an obesity rate of over 67% now, inactive families are certainly something to be concerned about. And I do believe Felicia has struggled with her weight and her dh is overweight-that alone should be reason to make sure her kids stay active. I dont necessarily think that means organized sports, but sports certainly help.

I guess I just don't see why it should be assumed that Felicia hasn't encouraged, allowed or exposed. And, again, even if she hasn't, IMO it makes no difference. What lots of us consider "normal" or "desirable" - that's the bias I'm referring to here. IMO, while many parents like to emphasize sports and organized activities for young kids, many others don't, and that could also be considered normal.
Dogma thinks I'm reaching to claim this, but IMO it's just as much reaching to fault PNJ in this way. IMO, others may not see my point because of their pro-sports-and-organized-activities bias which is so ingrained as to be taken for granted. I think that's worth examining. I'd start a thread about it, but I think maybe it's been overdone.
