My children are 10 12 and 6 , they want to sleep in the backyard in our big tent. I live in a faily decent part of town. but are they too young to be out there all night by themself or am i just being too strict? My kids think im the worst mom ever today. someone let me know what you would do. i cant sleep out there with them all night, because of my shoulder issue. what can be some options>


Answer
My kids were sleeping in a tent at 5000 feet when they were only just walking. We carried them. Child carrier in front and rucksack at the back.
At ten they were higher than that...staying in mountain huts at 7000 feet and carrying backpacks with their night clothes and teddy bears in. And wearing gorgeous little Austrian walking boots.....
Loved it! Playing with snow under the baking Alpine sun in July!
Seeing mountains 50 miles across the valley and sunrises lighting the peaks with pink and orange light.
Ten year old eyes seeing that at 6am and eating breakfast outdoors with paradise for a view.....what a joy for them.
Lay down for a nap at midday with sweet Alpine flowers all around them. See the lake a thousand feet below shimmering in the sunlight, eat with children from other lands and sing with them outside the hut at night under the canopy of stars...sweet mountain songs coming back to us in soft echos across the deep valleys.
Reckon they sleep well at night, wake happy in the morning? They still do.

Got a bad shoulder? You can be warmer in a sleeping bag outside than under the duvet indoors.
I couldn't walk for two years. Lost a lot of school.
Later I was in an international marching event...top civilian and military teams from around the world.....The Nijmegan Marches. Tough one. Succeed with honor for team and country. And then enjoy the blister parties till dawn....a huge and happy event.
Walking cycling and camping out got me fit when I could walk again. It got my legs working. It gave me paradise again.
Being out. Like yours are hoping for. Adventure....fun.
They need it. They're asking.
You can get an air bed for a few dollars for occasional use, or pay more for velvety cozy luxury...still cheap. You can be comfortable.
Blow them up as hard or as soft as you like. Whatever your shoulder likes.
Variable mattress technology....try that with a spring mattress. A big double one all for you if you want.
Give the kiddies a bit of fun...happy their eyes up laughing..
Children love adventure if it isn't already smothered out of them. Play at pirates marooned on a desert island....spaceships, pioneer explorers.
Nooooo...you're not the worst by a long chalk. Some moms wouldn't even think of letting the children out at at all.
All covered in cotton wool and treated with total care and mommying loving and smothered with it. Kids in safe soft wrappers.
Misery for them. They can't grow like that. Kids need adventure.....it's fun.
Make it as safe as you can.....don't be too obvious about it by telling everyone you're sleeping out. You be there too.
Tucked up and warm, just like indoors.
Have a good night.
Midnight feast on the outdoor cookie stove...paradise for them.
Children grow into the space they've got. Give them more space they grow more....and they learn more.
It still has limits... you're just applying the limits to a bigger space.
Have fun.
Give it a couple of days if you like so you've time to get organized. Get some comfort things going for yourself. It's not on top of a mountain, just in the backyard. But you need a bit of time. Keeps them happy if it all goes smooth. That's means happy Mom too....
Get some goodies to eat outside ...a game to play...a story under the stars....nice warm bed for them...and lots of smiles.
Then you're ready to say yes...and see those happy eyes laughing with you....
Yahaaaayyyyy!!
