Just having a bit of a sit down after being hit in the gentleman's region by a hard plastic squeeky Xmas robin dog toy thrown with commendable force and accuracy by a small child By the feel of it it impacted beak first.
Put that boy's name down for some cricket coaching asap! Someone who can hit the middle stump with accuracy from a distance would be very useful.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Collies rolling in fox poo ... could be worse, caulis rolling in fox poo.
Great Danes rolling in the only cow pat in the field, even after a dunking in the canal and an attempt to wash them off, the smell never came out of the car . It was worse on warm days. We had to sell the car to get rid of the smell.

If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I once got told the best treatment for a strike in the gentleman's parts is to crouch and stand up repeatedly a few times. Whilst you might not feel like doing so IME it does help. I can't remember when I first got told that not I've heard it a few times.
Having once been into martial arts I've had a few occasions to crouch and stand recovery when strikes weren't as controlled as intended.
No idea why it works but perhaps it's about increasing blood flow or simple distraction act. Who cares when your man lumps have been kicked into your mouth during sparring!!!
You know, it strikes me that most stuff involved with raising kids must be designed by women. There are endless lines of maternity wear with all kinds of features to make mum's life more comfortable but where is the paternity clothing with the bullet-proof kevlar underpants? I'm starting to think there's a hole in the market that needs to be exploited here.
I've also long considered that childrens' clothing doesn't come with enough grab handles, and what about a line of kids' clothing made from the soft part of velcro? You could have the opposite material available as adhesive panels and stick it all around the house and then you can attach the kids to them if you need to stop the little bastards running around or just fancy five minutes without being headbutted in the kevlar underpants. You could also have connector panels to stick a bunch of kids together to make them easier to herd.
I just saw in the news that a poor women has given birth to nine babies. I imagine sleep will not be a big factor in their lives for a long time

Kevlar underpants would likely be flexible and as such a nutshot will still hurt. There are solutions out there. Ask a cricketer. Of course the energy still has to go somewhere, such as around the edge of the protection.
Dungarees offer good handholds at the shoulders. A good pair and you'll also get a grip at the top of the back too. Other good holds are the top of the pants at the belt line. I do avoid the arm grab. Apart from the potential to hurt and mark them with a bruise it also leaves an easy way to strike with the other arm. I'm speaking as a father of a wonderful 8yo who knows well the parent's weak points.
Imho the only real solution is to suck it up and man up. Or look forward to when they leave home. If you're a grandparent the last option is possibly very close in time.
Of course the positives of kids is there too. Give me a minute..... Nope its gone!
Nothing like as bad as wild edges experience but I was headbutted in the shin by my niece's demented Staffy running flat out. Perfectly timed and hit just as I had my full weight on that leg as I was stepping forward. I have serious knee problems and the top half of the leg trying to continue forward as the bottom part goes into reverse was not pleasant. I have a massive bruise on the shin too.

This would work a treat @NorthernJoe
There are even worse versions of you want to be really cruel
