Hi does anyone cut their grass while the children are around? or is it a big NO NO? I wouldn't obviously do it with a baby crawling around! but if ive got two 3 year olds sat on chairs do you think it would be ok?:

personally I wouldnt do it.
mine gets done at wkends only, I dont even let my hubby cut the grass when I'm working as it means trapping the children inside for a while.
Busy losing the will to live mwuahahahaha!
I wouldn't as its so noisy you can't possibly be listening to the children as well.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand
When both my husband and i are minding together he used to occasionally cut the grass while i was indoors with the kids. I wouldn't do it on my own tho with kids around, would be too scared that i would get distracted by them and run the wire over or worse still one of them.
We now have artificial grass so the worry is a thing of the past, and one less job to do!
Ofsted would ask you how cutting the grass was meeting the needs of the children...
I like it!
Still a definite no no for me though.
Too dangerous.
Never do this one stone thrown up could blind a child and some children have allergic reactions to newly cut grass (My husband has a violent reaction to flymo cut grass He's fine with a rotary mower)

I certainly wouldn't do it while there were children about.
I'd be doing it this afternoon rather than posting on here
Naw - I never cut the grass anyway - That is DH's job and probably the only one he does without being nagged to do it. He does do it when they are here but only if they are indoors. They like watching him through the patio doors - I have to say I used to enjoy playing with the cut grass when I was young while my parents cut the grass but DH doesn't even let our two do that - too much mess!!!! so I'm afraid offering that experience is their parents responsibility. Yesterday he did it at 5.30 while two mindees were having tea. One had just arrived and one was finishing at 6.00. DH is way more protective of children than I am and hates them playing with anything messy or climbing on toys meant to be climbed on etc.
I have to say I too consider this to be in the same bracket as ironing. I have someone who comes in to do the ironing while mindees are here but they are never in the same room as her while the ironing board is out - I would have nightmares about it.

A BIG NO NO!

Not my job!! So the problem never occurs, don't think the lo's would enjoy it much though

OK Ok i won't do it! lol
I have to say though that my mower is a push one and not electric
We have a push along my father loved it and now past on to me (as will as a electric one) but no not when l,m working
My DH or DS cuts grass whilst mindees are inside. My DH took 2 fingers OFF with a lwn mower about 10 years ago! but thats another story
Needs to Zumba
