Anyone else's kid hate snow?

I remember as a small child foaming at the mouth to get out in the snow at the first flake. I would play out there for hours. I built something like an igloo one year, and it's not like it was my parents idea. They weren't even out there with me.

Not my kid. Not only does he not care it's snowing, he doesn't even want his feet to touch it. I abandoned the idea of trying to go anywhere because it's just not worth it. He doesn't want to even walk to the car in it. lol..

It's fine. I mean, I'm not looking to freeze my ass off or anything I just think it's interesting. MH hates the snow and cold too. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I grew up in NJ, it's just something I expect to exist and deal with. So did mh but he doesn't want to play in it.

Re: Anyone else's kid hate snow?

  • Mine!!  He spent the entire day yesterday talking about the snow.  He wanted to go outside and catch the flakes in his mouth.  Before he went to bed he asked if he could play in the snow when he woke up.  This morning...not happening!  He wants NOTHING to do with it!  I don't mind so much because I'd prefer to be warm inside, but I do think that it is odd.  I guess the idea of snow is much more interesting then the actual snow!

  • Mine was bugging me all morning to go out there and play. I told her after ballet class. Once she went to ballet & came home, she had enough of it. She changed out of her ballet clothes and put on her beach clothes and asked to go to the beach. She's just like me, lol

  • Avery didnt want to go outside at first, then when she got her snowsuit and boots on she was exited but was totally over it after 3 minutes and screamed to go inside. 

    im sure when she gets older shell want to go out more, sledding etc.

  • Mine hated it till this year. They are 4 yrs 3 mo. They used to go out for 5 min or not want to go at all. Today they were out for 2 hrs and had a blast. I was shocked. 
  • We were out for about 30 minutes before Keira wanted inside.  Ryan would have stayed out longer, he was having a good time.

  • mine don't hate it- but don't love it either. Griffin has only mentioned going out to play once today... we told him "maybe today, maybe tomorrow" b/c greg and I both feel like crap today... and Griffin was fine with that answer.

    When it snowed in October they never once asked to go out in it - thankfully b/c we couldn't with all the trees falling down around us.

    The twins don't seem to remember playing in it... they haven't really talked about it much.

    We'll do our play time outside later or tomorrow... and then probably not again this winter - maybe one more time if we get another big snow.  Thankfully they aren't that into it.

    Greg and I were both saying last night how we would be out in it ALL DAY LONG - come home soaking wet, frozen, and loving it. 

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

  • She really wanted to go out in it but getting her dressed in her snow pants and jacket and mittens was a nightmare.  She was throwing a fit and I ignored her and told her she wasn't going out unless she wore the stuff.  Finally she put it on and is out there now with DH.  I fully expect them to come back in any minute now, I saw her from the window brushing every flake off of her lol
