Re: Opinions!!!!!!!
It's easier than all of that.
You're living in redneck country, get the little lady a pickup truck and send her off to riding lessons with a rifle in the rack. (I see that she's on the short side so you might want to get her a truck with a lift kit to compensate for her stature.)

There is a big difference in being afraid to fly and having that gut feeling that you don't want your little girl riding alone 2.5 miles away...... BIG DIFFERENCE

The pros are:
* We live in the country, so she wouldn't have to get on any main highways to get where's she's going.
* Jeff thinks she needs a little more freedom.
* She would have a cell phone and would have to call as soon as she arrived.
* She's 13.
Uh, I can't think of anymore pros.
The cons are:
* We live in the country, she would have to cross a bridge on the way, and some people do drive very fast on these country roads.
* She's 13.
* I don't like it.
Am I being unreasonable? I think 2.5 miles is too far. Right now she's only allowed to explore the dirt roads around our house which kind of wind around, and even though she has about a mile of road, she's never more than a quarter mile from our front door.
I can envision all kinds of things happening between our house and the stables.
I'm getting panicky thinking about it.
What are your thoughts? Am I being neurotic? Would you let your 13 year old ride that far? |
Have him read what happened to two thirteen year old girls recently in rural Oklahoma.... that should be enough...

Re: Opinions!!!!!!!
I was very careful with my children when they were small...I always worried about kidnapping because most foreigners think Americans have money whether we do or not...now I worry about my grand children...lol...
However please be careful they are so young and innocent and so trusting..

Re: Opinions!!!!!!!
How old were those two girls that were killed by gunshot just 50 miles south of all of us--on a country dirt road--pne half mile from their house?
Country means nothing!
Age means nothing!
The fact that she is a young girl means a whole whole lot! Anything we can do as parents to keep our children from harms way should be done. Not allowing her to do this is a no brainer in my book! The answer is NO! I am sure the parents of those two girls in Okfuskie County--just south of Henryetta Oklahoma--wish their girls had a shorter leash--even in the country!
I have two boys--as you might know--I would not even hint at allowing a 2.5 mile jaunt alone for my 13 yr old!!! So I am not gender discriminating here! He doesn't get of our street alone to this day on his bike!

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Re: Opinions!!!!!!!
I would not feel comfortable letting her ride her bike alone. I know I would be an over protective parent, but we live in a crazy world- and when innocence is stolen it can never be gotten back. Hang in there.
