do you want an 8 year old hating him/herself and using all their time exercising?  This infuriates me. The fuck do they think, parents are making their kids run on treadmills for 8 hours a day? Kids will gladly go outside and play for as long as they can get away with. Tag, hide and seek, swings, slides, merry-go-rounds, even just running back and forth pretending to be an animal or robot or something. Exercise is super easy for kids to get. Literally take them to a park, sit your ass on a bench, and let them go nuts. When it's snowy? Take them to a fucking hill and give them a sled. Or take them out back and ask them to build a snowman or a snowbench for you to sit your ass on. "Boo hoo, don't make kids exercise! They're only kids!" Yeah, that's why they fucking PLAY. They play and play until the sun goes down unless their parents don't give them the opportunity. I fucking hate those parents.
