Any kid will run any errand for you, if you ask at bedtime.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My kids are athletic, but they don't run.
It's hard to say no to your kid. It's hard for them to stomp off and not be happy with you for an hour.
Do your kids a favor - don't have any.
I've got four kids, so I plan ahead. I have to book flights far in advance, look at accommodation, where it is, what you can and can't do. Same in running.
By the time the children go to bed, I am as drained as any mother who has spent her day working, car pooling, building Lego castles and shopping for the precisely correct soccer cleat.
I've got great people who handle my schedule, and everything does revolve around the children. If there's a parents' night or an Easter bonnet parade or a Nativity play, whatever it might be, then I plan everything around that.
Every child in America fantasizes about running wild in the White House for a few minutes.
If I'm coming in at 4:00 in the morning and my kids have been in bed since 8:00, 9:00, that's not setting a good example. The responsibility that I have kids inside my household has made me realize now that I have to be an example.
From Day 1 I wasn't planning to run until I am very old.
I don't know any kid that's not afraid at some point going to bed with the lights off, totally. That's why they make nightlights.
