Putting your KID on a leash

you're missing the big picture.
Funny because I think the samething about you and the pro-leashers
you are misunderstanding me. I'm not pro-leash. I don't use them and never intend to. But I don't judge other people for doing so. That's their business, not mine.0 -
Leashed up outside. I put a bowl of water out for themThere are a lot of parents stuck to their computer screens this afternoon. This topic has been going on a while. Where are your children on a nice Saturday afternoon?
Good Mommy!!0 -
I wonder if any of the "perfect" parents have ever used a playpen or a stair gate, or how about a safety plug? Pretty much the same idea as a harness which for the record is the only one of those things I have ever used.
I say do away with cribs. Cages are for animals, not babies.
Oh God, this is the most ridiculous thing I think I've ever read on MFP. I hope you never have children.0 -

I used a bit of live electrical wire in case I want him, I can just give a good tug & he'll come flying. Might get a few shocks but hey.0

You need to get off of your high horse.
I don't have the need for them now, but I did that once and I'm certainly not going to judge anybody else who finds it works for their family.

Wow... never used a carseat? That's just unsafe IMO! My daughter will be 8 and she still sits in a high backbooster. I can't imagine a two year old never using a carseat... unless they were never in a car!0

Didn't read all the replies, but apparently there is a lot of hate for cute little backpack buddies. How about we kick our horsies down a notch, mmkay?
I've personally witnessed 2 scenarios where a child would have been injured, at the very least, unless they had the cute little backpack "leash" on them. They weren't complaining, and it helped save them from injury. I don't see how that, in any way, is a bad thing. Personally I can't stand seeing parents yank on their children's arms and literally drag them behind them like they're a rolling suitcase, but they're not my kids.
We have a similar debate in the debate forum, here. And a very good point was raised by one of our members, when someone said something like "why can't you just hold their hand instead?!" Think about it back to when YOU were kids. Did you like holding your mom or dad or siblings hand? I know I didn't. What if you got twins or triplets + other kids? Can't possibly hold all of their hands, and trusting them to hold each other's hands? Yeah right. Not to mention, their arms get tired from being held up like that. Some kids may not mind, just like some kids like their cute little toy leashes.0 -

Well, that can all be resolved. Go over, take off their leash, give them a look, shout your demands and then you'll be able to come back and sit on the computer some more!!0 -

Making mommy a blood mary. They're good boys.0 -
In most cases I'm all for child "leashes". While I don't have my own kids...
I'm a nanny and have walked with the kids to the park and ended up having to hang on to the back of the youngest one's shirt. He wouldn't stay with me and I didn't want him to get hit by a car.0 -

WHY must everyone in here be soooo offended because they are being judged?? Why does it seem to surprise you that people judge other people?? HELLO!!! People judge people all day every day. If you say that you don't judge others, you're lying, or live in a hole. If you don't want to be judged by how you parent, the choices you make, what you look like, etc. then stay at home. Is it nice to judge? Maybe not. Are some people completely wrong about others when they judge, absolutely. HOWEVER, there are seem to be a lot of people getting offended that someone has a different opinion than you. That's not being judgmental, that's having a brain.
Are you judging the way I react to being judged?
Yes. I disagree with, have a different opinion, and judge others. So do you...0 -
My little boy runs for it. For now, he's mostly in his stroller ( he's 17 months ) but sometimes we go out with him and hold his hand. He's very proud and happy but i notice that he does everything to let go. He's just one of those kids that doesn't like you to help ( when he was learning to walk he refused we help ). I am going to do EVERYTHING to never use a leash, but, between a dead child and a live one the choice is easely done and if i'm forced too, i'm going to be embarassed out of my mind but, i'll do it.0
