“I left my kids in the snowbank all day and they were fine”

So my grandmother came to visit the other day and made a comment about keeping up with my 16 MO daughter. “Ya it’s pretty exhausting” I said. And then this gem of parenting advice came out:“I know parents these days don’t like to leave their kids in play pens. When your mom and uncle were babies I used to put them in the playpen and leave them in the snowbank all day. I mean you know I’d go out and check on them sometimes and make sure they were ok but that’s just how we did things”.Ummmmmm thanks for the....parenting advice?Lol I should also mention we live in Canada. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MFqCp8
