We all know the risks and it's bad enough not putting cream on ourselves but not protecting our kids is 10 times worse. I live in Spain so get through quite a bit of suncream. I have to nag my husband to put it on, which he begrudgingly does but my son is always lathered up. It's weird though that my son's Spanish friends that come round never have cream with them or on and are always a bit put out when I make them use some! I get the "I don't need that" comment and they get the "In my house you do" back!<br />Cheers, ChloeChloe Wilsonhttp://www.bestben10toys.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836424089643954116.post-58249457039407667612009-06-05T19:18:32.358+01:002009-06-05T19:18:32.358+01:00Sandy - I'm a snob to when it comes to certain...Sandy - I'm a snob to when it comes to certain things and looking after your kids is one of them<br /><br />allgrownup - How cute, me and OH do the same so hopefully as she gets older she will want to copy usCaroljshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622996745058583470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836424089643954116.post-864136537125272152009-06-04T21:04:27.982+01:002009-06-04T21:04:27.982+01:00Oh god, sunburned children make me feel physically...Oh god, sunburned children make me feel physically sick. I was at a family bbq at the weekend, my son is 18 m and his cousin 10m.My mum set up a paddling pool for them, my husband had to insist it was in the shade, while my stupid brother bemoaned how cold they would get: better cold than cancer!! So his son is 1/3 Italian, doesn't mean he won't burn. He was naked in the sun for an hour,no hat, nothing. My son had on a vest, hat,and copious amounts of suncream. I hope he never burns. Fair skinned or not, children need to be kept safe. My son is excellent at wearing his hat, this is because mummy & daddy lead by example and also wear hats. Kids love to copy!allgrownuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558724767417950811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836424089643954116.post-35432458276704981502009-06-03T14:36:23.532+01:002009-06-03T14:36:23.532+01:00Some people are so stupid, it beggars belief.
I...Some people are so stupid, it beggars belief.<br />I'm the same as you, we're all fair-skinned and mine don't go out with out T-shirts, hats and factor 50. I always keep the baby in the shade too. And they're frequently offered water to drink.<br />Reminds me of a family that stayed in our hotel in Cyprus one holiday. None of them wore sun-screen, they were all pink piggies by their first lunchtime. Poor kiddies. They only ate chocolate cake for lunch, then the parents drank all afternoon. Snob? Me? Yeah, a little!sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004801243819162845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836424089643954116.post-50126001035744353812009-06-03T07:52:08.279+01:002009-06-03T07:52:08.279+01:00OMG Pregnant - I completey agree, I would have don...OMG Pregnant - I completey agree, I would have done the same thing as the Granny it really annoys me!<br /><br />Perfectly Happy Mum - You haven't seen the size of the umbrella!!

I know some people who never bother to put sun cream on their kids - so irresponsible. At the moment my Facebook page is full of people saying they're burnt - why have a tan when you can be pale and interesting instead?!

Like you said I would hate it and feel so responsible if they were sunburnt. I also got the full sunshade cover for all my buggies (yes I know I am a bit of a buggy freak) but it is brilliant as you don't have to worry so much when the baby is in it. I find it better than the umbrella because when you move the sun changes direction and you are constantly moving it around. Anyway well done for this article!Perfectly Happy Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540802461861922439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836424089643954116.post-30376359393940192872009-06-02T19:56:11.138+01:002009-06-02T19:56:11.138+01:00Well said.

The mother was too busy flitting about and the father nowhere to be seen, so after some gentle nudges too the mother about how hot it was etc etc - which the mother ignored - she pushed the buggy the 2 metres or so until it was under the shade of a tree. About twenty minutes had passed at this point with the baby sitting there in the middle of the day on the hottest day of the year. Shameful.<br /><br />My friend was furious! The brides granny applauded her. The mother said nothing, apparently not even showing a tiny bit of shame.<br /><br />I think some people are just dickheads. Simple as that really!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
