you have to be careful when tossing your babies around like that because they can end up with symptoms similar to that of shaken babies. also, the consequences of any random problem like a bee sting at the wrong moment are terrible. the baby wasn't going to get dropped on grass. we get that you're hardcore. don't bring the baby into it.
Classic t*r.
Yeah, don't worry, you can keep the kiddies safe, just keep 'em in the plexi-bubble, and never EVER take 'em anywhere that might be a wee bit dangerous.....
Yer pretty judgemental for someone who's never had a kid or a desire to involve the kids in the danger....I mean adventure.

We've been raising kids for a few thousand years. I wouldn't throw all of those "old" yet proven wisdom out for those "new and improved ideas."
Plus I think each child is different. Even siblings can't be raised the same since they will have different needs, strength and weaknesses. Plus since the child is a genetic result of the parents, I do believe they will have a better clue on how to deal with a child that is "like them."
My brother was an easy going kid that didn't go far from his parents and I... I was out wandering the Sespe at the age of five. It was obvious from the get go that we had completely different needs. Petros responded to "No" easily and I... Well, like my Dad I took it as a challenge and... It was my Dad who tamed me since he was familiar with how my brain worked.

Isn't that from the latest patagucci catalog? Or did I miss someone already pointing that out?

in defense of Tami, the baby is probably safer than if you were on a steep trail/slope with no rope.

I snapped this picture of my kids and their friends while on a camping/float trip a few years ago. Before everyone gets pissy, my wife was in the boat, I just asked her to duck down. When we got home, I emailed the picture to their parents and grand parents. It wasn't 5 minuted before the phone rang with them asking, "What the hell kind of parents are yall?" We had a big time!

They weren't trying to prove anything, it was piss easy, two feet,
and they'd had a lot of practice beforehand, and your dad did worse things
with you.

People need to chill out. That is a perfect freaking spiral if I ever saw one. Either that or the raddest game of hot-potato/custody battle Ive seen caught on film.

Some pre-Super Bowl ritual, perhaps. In some of the redder parts of the US, it might be considered child abuse if you didn't do these sorts of things.

HEY thats Jeff Leads!
Awesome dude, one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in any climbing circle.
If that is the daughter I met, she is probably in her late teens and is a really cool kid. Funny story, I was trying to crash a match class at Mira Costa and this GORGEOUS girl next to me had a necklace that was a rap ring. Of course I knew she was light years out of my league, but I liked talking to pretty people, I asked her if she knew what that trinket was. "Oh this? Its a peice of climbing equipment, my dad made it for me."
"Oh really? Whats his name?"
"Jeff Leads."
Small world, eh? Well I didn't get on the roster for the class, but I see the family every once in a while at the gym. Good people, the lot.
