Answer #1

Sure it is - he’s only 4 ! - you can figure something out to make it work - not that hard a task - I’m sure you’re smart enough…Good luck !!

Answer #2

Yeah, thats what im going to do, we did that yesterday, and genius me forgot sunblock, I look like a lobster.(over cooked) and it hurts. grrr.

Answer #3

So why dont you take him out to play, bring him back, then go out, they’re not going to ask you to play with him twice…

Answer #4

No, they want me to take him with me because he never gets out to play, and I understand that. But I could take him out to play before I left, or when I got back.

Answer #5

Dear myzarri, What you didn’t say was why you have to take him? But if it is because they work etc. then perhaps you can tell them they need to buy you one of those push wagons that joggers use. The child sits in this and you push it as you are running. What are your consequences if you refuse to watch him? Is it worth saying no…if not then try some solutions. Sue…good luck

Answer #6

be angry just dont work yourself into a rage.See if he can go over to a friends house while you run or run errands.

Answer #7

I think that your anger is justified . Maybe you can compromise with her, you know? Have certain “work-out days.”
