3. The potential for disaster outweighs the quest for a thrilling adventure.

As parents, these people are irresponsible for putting their children at risk just to fulfill their own self indulgent fantasies. It just boggles my brain to think that so many things could have done wrong and no amount of happy thoughts could prevent the endless scenarios for disasters that keep running through my thoughts.

Children find joy all around them, they don't need to be put at risk on a sailboat on storm tossed seas. From a backyard flower, birds in the park, seashells on the beach, everything is new and wonderful at their tender age, and far safer adventures are readily at hand.
