Do you guys take your kids out everyday?

Question

Like, small kids? Toddlers? I have a 2 year old who LOVES being outside like most I’m sure! But some days I don’t have the energy to walk to a park or my mothers house (we don’t have a yard and I’m pregnant 😭). 
My MIL gives me a really hard time about this..her kids grew up inside playing videos games so I’m not sure why she insists he NEEDS to be out every day. 
I know it’s really good for them but it’s okay to take a break right?🙈 He’s a really quick runner and having to literally chase him is draining when I still have to take care of him till his dad gets home from work! 
Any advice is greatly appreciated💙

Answer

I used to be out every day before his baby brother was born. Now i have a baby sitter that helps me out because of that exact reason lol, he LOVES being outside. its pointless to have him inside watching TV with his baby brother vs wanting to be outside playing with rocks and bugs I would rather him do that but pf course if I didnt have a baby sitter I know it would he much harder to have him be outside EVERY day.

Answer

Yeah, we are out pretty much every day. Except if there's a snowstorm or below -20c. 
They are also outdoors playing every day in daycare/kindergarten, the youngest ones also naps outdoors in their strollers every day.

Answer

During the summer we are outside probably 80% of the time and winter time I’d say 40% of the time. Winter really depends on the day lol and summer my kiddos could live outside. Thankfully we have a big fenced in back yard otherwise that wouldn’t be the case for us. I don’t see a problem not going outside everyday. You gotta do what works best for you. Before we moved into our house we’re in now. We only had a front yard and it wasn’t fenced in so maybe 3-4 days a week we’d go outside or to the park once or twice

Answer

We have a great backyard and I still don’t take them out every day. Often, for sure. But not every day

Answer

I used to go out with him every day, but now he does want ro walk himself not be in stroller 1.5yr old. And I have terrible pelvic gridle pain, so I can not move fast.
So we go as often we can, usually when dad is home from work earlier and we can go all together.

Answer

No definitely not everyday. When we do get summer I try to spend more time outside but sometimes we just have play time inside.

Answer

It's fine. I am for sure not out every day 😅
She loves it but it's been cold over winter and I'm pregnant and just no. I do not have the energy to keep up 😅

Answer

Yup sometimes too 3-4 different playgrounds lol weather permitting occurs;)
