We have some winter weather that was here last night, about 3 inches of snow on top of some ice. We are supposed to get more tonight and tomorrow. Hubby thinks I am being overprotective by saying I dont want my son to go. It's a 2 hour drive away and the roads there on a perfectly normal day is winding and such. *sigh* what to do, what to do? It's a Boy Scout campout. Wahhh I dont want him to go
that's what I keep saying.."are you sure you want to go and sleep outside in the snow?"
I am being told that the trip is good for them(by an ex scout)...they'll learn survival skills for winter weather should they need it in the future. I see the point but...isn't there a warmer cold we could practice in?!

I say go with your gut. A mother always knows what's best for her child.
I don't have any kids but I think I would be just like you. I guess it depends on what the temp is going to be. I've gone camping when it got down to the 50s and froze my a$$ off. Luckily we had a little space heater but it was still cold.
It's YOUR opinion that counts, not anyone else's, ex-scout or not. We read many tales of triumph over tragedy, survival above all odds, etc., etc., and how that person "learned something important about themselves, life, etc." but it comes down to you as a parent. Do YOU want to expose your son to an opportunity to learn about survival in snow? Weigh your opinion and gut feeling against the prediction of more snow agains the benefits of the experience to your son and go with that.
well it looks like I dont have to decide, they cancelled the camp out. WHEW! They might camp at a local place but they can always come home if weather gets bad/kid gets sick...it's 5 miles out. I think it's important for them to learn some survival skills just in case, but just not 2 hours away w/winter weather warnings out!
I wonder if we should all try to update on here every day or every few days on how we are all doing so that we know everyone is ok. I know we must all be stressed and worried about Covid 19. It's so scary listening to the news every day. I have a hard time not crying every time I hear about...
My Morkie and my older Maltese both got neutered at a higher end animal clinic. I paid a premium to have them neutered. They both left with a pain medicine (Tramadol) and another med which i believe was either an antibiotic or maybe an anti inflammatory. Cant remember. Either way, the combo was...
How old are our babies when they are “technically“ considered adults? I know Kobe is not yet. He’s not even an adolescent yet. I don’t think. Lol 😆 Just thinking about when it will be that I will stop giving him puppy food and start giving him big boy food.
So we are going to be traveling to our vacation home in a month or two, depending on Covid conditions and I am curious about how this will work with my new companion. I don’t think Kobe will mind the travel because we have been trying to get home used to going out in the car a lot in his crate...
It’s kind of a funny story.
I had always wanted a little girl so I could keep her with longer hair and put bows and dress her up and stuff but my Kobe was a surprise anniversary gift from my husband. We’ve always talked about getting a dog but 27 years into our marriage we still had none. Year...
