My Xh loves sledding. My Xstepson is now 14yrs and also enjoys it from what my children tell me. However, my children HATE IT.... They told me they freeze their fingers/toes, and their dad goes too fast. My son said, he read how fast his dad was going and it said, 68mph.... My DD7yrs, is terrified as my Xh does jumps and goes on the side of hills, etc. The machine has even tipped on them and my Xh had to hold it so she could crawl away from under the side of it!
My Xh doesn't go for just a short time. He goes out for hours and hours.... When the helmets are on, he can't hear my children cry out....
I told him, they do not have the proper winter gear for his kind of outting. My Xh and Xss, have the name brand top quality boots, mitts, etc.etc. that is meant for it... I told him he should buy the kids proper outfits then at least they won't freeze!!!
Then the safety of the kinds of speeds he goes. If something happened at that speed it could be deadly for my children. I KNOW he goes like that because I have seen it myself... I have heard him personally talk about how fast he goes, etc.
My son has sent me messages on his Ipod wanting me to pick them up when their dad goes sledding, etc.
Saying to them, Your dad's house, his rules, seems soo cruel and mean when they are upset... This issue is more than, "he makes us eat bacon" or something petty...
Thanks for listening!! My Xh doesn't!!!
