I actually do have kids.
I’ve been thinking long and hard about that. A lot of things try to sell perfect safety from the first day, smart mattresses that measure breathing, diapers or socks that measure pulse and oxygen saturation, gps trackers, name it. I admit that we all want our kids to be perfectly safe and it’s very hard to acknowledge that perfectly safe is only possible by packing the kid in a foam container and placing the container in a padded safe. As much as I sometimes would like to do that, that’s obviously not going to fly. So yes, it’s hard and it’s worrying from day one, but part of being a parent it coming to terms with this. Things will mostly be alright. I survived stupid things - and lord, I’ve done things that could have killed me - chances are my kids will survive as well. Statistics are on my side: Most kids survive to adulthood without permanent damage.
