Bubble Wrap My Kids?

I just want to keep my kids safe!  There are a gazillion articles about kids not playing anymore and my kids are incredibly lucky...they play outside EVERYDAY! However, the reason most kids don't go out to play is because the world is a scary place and making a good choices can be hard.  It's even harder when grown-ups make bad choices.

I am shocked by the lack of supervision that occurs at the pool next door.  It is irresponsible and reckless and I hate that my kids are a part of it!  13, 11, 9, 8, and 4 are the ages of the kids in the pool, in the dark completely unsupervised!!! I let the kids swim unsupervised for about 20 minutes sick to my stomach during each minute and then I went over and supervised the pool for another 20 minutes, blown away that a grown-up never came out to check on the children in the pool.
I woke Setareh up at 1:30am for a heart-to-heart after another safety issue.  Ahhhhh I feel like I am surrounded by danger in a video game trying to protect my kids.  After our talk - i felt like Setareh was honost and open and that is the only way I am going to keep her safe.  Siamak thought I was crazy but I felt much better.  Even though I want to wrap my kids up in bubble wrap to protect them all the time, I can let loose every now and even go for a bike ride to Yogurt Stop sans helmets....livin' dangerously!!!
