I Used To Slide On My Wood Floor In Socks

I've just moved into a new home with lovely varnished wood floors. Now sadly I don't want any bruised knees so me and the kids are in bare feet inside the house.

the bruises and skinned knees are all part of growing up.. what you loved to do as a kid is the same things the kids now love to do. we want to stifle that fun because we are afraid they will get hurt.. did you worry about getting hurt when you were that child? :) put all your socks on and go skating with the kids mom :)

@SW-User Skinned knees were basically the equivalent of death as a kid 😭

@RedtheEmerald lol we all did these things as a kid.. and lived to talk about it.. not only talk about it but looked back at it fondly

@SW-User as a busy mom I'd much rather hear the sound of bare feet pattering than the cries of slipped kids

@SandraB I do understand that.. but politely disagree with the sentiment. sometimes we need to let kids be kids. just my thought.. not judging :)
