Woman rock climbing with baby strapped to her back causes controversy, for some reason.

A single mother from Wales has caused
somewhat of a firestorm by posting a photo
of herself rock climbing with her two-year-
old daughter strapped to her back
. They’re pretty high up a rock face, and the
woman is wearing a helmet — but not the
kid. Take Your Daughter to Work Day?

Our Mom of the Year is Menna Pritchard, 26,
and she has a perfectly logical explanation.
From the London Daily Mail:
“I can appreciate if you didn’t realize how
safe the environment I was in, it could be
worrying, but I was top-roping which
means if you fall you don’t fall any further
than where you came off.
“It is the safest form of climbing you can do.
I was also in a beach environment
surrounded by experienced climbers. Health
and safety legislation and the sue and blame
culture mean so many people are nervous,
so afraid of getting into trouble, and taking
small risks. Life is all about risks, whether
that’s something as simple as getting in
your car every day or climbing up a rock
face.”
Yes, that damn “sue and blame culture.”
They ruin everyone’s fun.
I can’t help but look at that photo and think
of the Popeye cartoon in which Sweet Pea,
the baby, gets out of the house and is
crawling across girders being swung by a
crane several stories up at a construction
site.
