Kids change that equation. All of the sudden you threshold for safety increases many fold.

  It does, but how much of this is objectively the parent deciding? And how much of it is FUD society. I’m yet to meet the parent whose run the numbers and can tell me what is more likely that their one drink before driving will kill their kids or letting them play out. So we rely on messages - and the media provides them. Tells us to be scared. The thing to be scared of is the new thing that’s interesting. In the early 2010s it was terrorism - but I haven’t heard that word for a while. Next it will be something else. So I keep two thought processes going, one is protect kids of course, but the other is “am I being bullshitted”. What is the trade off by wrapping them up in a bubble.

    Much of it is FUD, yes, but knowing that somehow does not help me tone it down.
