You clearly will make decisions for your young child you deem unsafe where the risks arent worth it. Football just isnt one of those for you, which is perfectly fine. But it isnt because you are "just letting him live his life."
Kid n story was 17.. he wasnt a 10 yr old. He is old enough to decide if he wants to play football. But you wana use comparison that i may as well let him do blow and join the kkk, but when i bring up not letting him drive because of risk its (laughable) because driving is necessary for every day life... well its not for a kid, or a teen. But i would imagine when yours hits 16 he will be driving
omg the risk, the horror

the phrase "he can live his own life" has implicit properties. parents use it when their kids choose soccer instead of football. they use it when their kids choose band over sports.
they don't use it for doing blow or joining the KKK or becoming a heroine junky.
"oh, tommy is a heroine addict?"
"yes, he can live his own life"

Not really. Even the mother acknowledge he didn't die because he was playing football. It was because he was sick and no one knew it. It could have happened with him playing basketball.

My phrase did not attack you or how you will raise your son. It simply stated how i will raise mine. I know there are plentu of people in the world today sheltering their children from every risky thing in the world out there, and thats fine. I choose to let my kid live his life, and if he wants to plat football, so be it. If he wants to be in a band, so be it. It is his life, not mine.

I not once attacked you, or called you out. Again i simply stated my opinion on raising my kid, same as you did about raising yours. Everyone is different.

The equivalent to what you said, would have been me saying, "I am not going to let my son play football. I actually care about his well being and future"
You absolutely added your comment for emphasis. It is cool, I still like you

And that would have been fine for u to say that. That is your decision. I have no issue with that. It seems that you already know what you are doing is making decisions for your kid and trying to justify it.

What happens if he watches football on tv and likes it and begs to play year after year?
Posted on 8/23/17 at 12:26 pm to Hawgnsincebirth55
Then I'll teach him to kick.

Thats fine also..as well as not letn them play. That is each parents decision, and a decision they have to live with no matter their decision. My kid will have a choice if he wants to play or not. He will be aware of dangers of it, but in the end if he wants to play he can.
