Running with Scissors...I mean with toddlers!

I see these women running with their kids strapped into the jogging stroller and I think to myself "When is the last time I've seen a Dad pushing his kids in a jogging stroller?"

I mean really, when you really think about it, the Moms you see are disproportionate to the Dads. How many dads really interrupt their workouts to take their kids along?

I see my neighbor regularly running along side the road with her two kids. I'm confident that their combined weight outweighs her. I mean, think of the strength! Not to mention the commitment to fitness and the manhandling that went into getting those kids to stay in there. My oldest never wanted to be in a stroller until she had a younger brother...then all of a sudden she thought she was missing out on something!

This is my plea....Husbands....watch your kids....give the mother of your children a break. There has to be a time for NOT multitasking....let this be the start.

Note: I am not talking to my own husband, since I do not work out-this does not apply to me.
