Putting children on leashes

I carried my daughter everywhere and ended up with a nice case of tennis elbow for like 9 months.

I would frequently carry my baby (the youngest of four in five years) to most places because I didn't want to be bothered being encumbered by a stroller. Goodness knows I did the happy dance when she could walk I didn't have to be bothered by that bullshit anymore.... second only to when she was finally potty-trained by 21 months.

My stomach turns when I see children so old that their knees are up to their chins with fukkin binkies being pushed in strollers or the same kids on leashes because their parents are fukkin mindless simpletons who don't have a clue how to teach their children to mind or behave in home or in a public place. I guess it was more work than they bargained for when they laid down and had some sex...
 
Oh wait... WTF do I know about parenting? :rolleyes:
You know what works for you. You may not know what works for others.

I liked to hold their hand, but I also realize that my way doesn't work for all. For example, let's say that a parent has no hands. My idea won't work in that case.

Feel you but let us take this one step further....

And where would that parent's hands be when they take their child out into public?

I had four alone most of the time, yet I NEVER ran out of hands. How you think I managed to accomplish this?

I am no rocket scientist, not by a longshot but I can recognize piss pooor parenting a mile away. What you think the same parent who felt the need to put their 6 year old on a leash did when that kid turned 16? Dunno of very many 16 year olds who did well on a leash.
 
large cardboard boxes were great toys. inside home made forts....

This will sound nutty but you ever notice that THE BEST toys for kids were empty cardboard boxes and empty shampoo bottles? Hell, I remember how many times I put clothes pins and refrigerator magnets in empty tupperware containers. The baby would amuse herself for OURS... shaking it. Then trying to open the container, then counting the pieces and putting them in and out, then trying to put the top back on the container and finally they got the biggest kick out of pushing the container and pieces one by one off the tray on the high chair to see if Mami would notice and pick it up and put the pieces back on the tray....

If only I could go back to those days again.

I can't tell you how many times I have had little kids run in front of me while I'm walking, worse when I have my hands full - typically in a store and since children tend not to look before running and when they hit something they bounce off and keep running (or fall over and start wailing). I don't think it's so much of leashing the kid as much as putting a little fear in them to behave properly and frankly I find it irritating to have little kids running around screaming like it's play time while in a store. So if a parent is at their wits end trying to keep they child in line I'm all for leashes if that is what it takes.
