Would you let your kid play with unsafe, dangerous toys?

Some parents do!And some kids are a real pain in the...they whine until the desperate parent buyes one just to keep him quiet.Not talking about buying your kid a sword battle-ready of course but still there are many dangerous toys out there.When i was a kid i use to play with many dangerous stuff (cap guns,spray cans,improvised stuff,etc.) but i wasn't harmed by anything(guess i was somehow lucky).Still i know what i did as a kid and i wouldn't let my kid('s ..hopefully) near anything dangerous.

well i used to play with dangerous stuff to when i was a kid. and i did get hurt some times nut never anything serious. but parents do have a tendecy to become paranoid over their kids health. but there should be some limits to this. i mean you can't just lock your kid in the house so he won't get hurt. that's just stupid. and there is a saying (which you know) that goes arround here: kids have thier won god that looks after them.

Yeah i know that saying...i think it "governed" me a while.Hope though i don't end up being paranoid about that (considering what i've done being youg) or just to be stressed out that he want's some toy that has a chainsaw.

I always protected my kids there are a lot of harmful things in the world so I also educated them on stuff because I couldn't be with them all the time I never let them play with dangerous things and I also explained to them why and now that they are mothers they are thankful i did what I did now they are doing it.

I don't want to end up being hated by my kids for imposing some rules...although i can explain them why and all the rest...but if they find out i played with that kind of stuff they will be angry on me.Plus i really don't want to spoil them and become a slave to my own kid.
