Serious Question for MILFS (pics)

Never. Children are little people, not dogs. In no situation at all do I find it acceptable to put a child on a leash. Ever.

It is NEVER appropriate to leash your child. They are not dogs! Why don't you just throw them in a kennel and be done with it.

You have no kids, right?

No she doesn't, and according with her profile she is thankful of not having any because she "has not time for that money pit".

In my book, and considering her way of thinking, she is not qualified to give her opinion in this matter, even a hideous one.

I'm a human being and, if I'm not mistaken, so are children. That qualifies me to give an opinion. Human beings should not be leashed.

Have two children and never used one. They knew to hold my hand and listened to me, so there was never a need even when they were little. So, I guess it is really up to you and your wife as to when and if they are necessary. Personally, I think they'd only be necessary if you had a runner that didn't listen to you and constantly takes off.

Putting a leash on a child because they run around too much is like putting duct tape on a persons mouth because they eat too much.

The whole 'dog' argument perhaps reminds me why I generally avoid discussing such things with 'parents'.

My dog eats rice and eggs often; should kids also avoid that?

He goes to bed when he's told. He comes back when I ask him to when we're in the park. He goes to play in the area of the park I tell him to. Should children not be taught all of these because "they're not dogs"?

The answer is never, gives children no freedom.

And having their hand constantly held or being restrained in a chair gives them more freedom?

Nobody has yet answered my question as to how a woman who is pushing a very young baby in a pram is supposed to hold onto the pram and onto the hand of a toddler walking beside her yet........

..... then of course, what about when looking around the grocery store......

S0me people obviously have more than one pair of hands, I salute you.

Hey If you can't manage them, maybe you should have thought of that before you got knocked up.

Lady you and all your answers are totally out of place and plain insulting. I think that you are hungry go and eat something.

Well some of us like being leashed on a frisky Friday night, lol.

No but your dog shouldn't be eating rice or eggs either

Do explain why.

Good grief it must so suck to be you. You have never had kids and do not know what the hell you are on about, please give it a rest and let somebody with some sense answer, instead of having to listen to your constant, incessant drivel, which is as hopeless a piece of "advice" as I have ever seen.

Tell me, do you ever give advice that somebody could follow, or are you always so spiteful?

FYI my two daughters are now 26 and nearly 24.

Now then can somebody sensible please answer my post, instead of somebody who is not qualified to comment, mainly because her opinion is of no interest to me to be honest. Spiteful, judgmental comments immediately make me disregard them.

If you were really disregarding them, you wouldn't spend the time to rebut me. Your defensiveness only tells me that, deep down, you agree with what I say. But you can't admit it to yourself. Pretty sad. Oh well. Have a nice life with your uncontrollable brats. See ya.

They are not brats they are 26 and 24.

Are you okay there? Are you always so spiteful or does it take serious effort.

and for your info, I disagree with you because I used reins. I think I have hit a nerve with you, no matter.

My dog is overly skinny unless I feed him a good bit to 'fatten him up' (and even then, still looks a muscular trim.)

As for the eggs, yes if your dog is susceptible to/has pancreatitis then lots of egg yolks are bad thanks to the fat.

However, eggs white are recommended for dogs with this and often a yolk or two, but not lots, of course.

So I'll keep giving my dog a midday snack of eggy-rice, ta.

"Children are not dogs!" Yet some are saying that parents should be able to control them...shall we sign them up for obedience classes, or take them to the yard and teach them how to obey commands or they don't earn a treat?
3 boys, first wasnt very active, and the ex *****ed about having a harness. He also wasnt the one chasing him.
2nd had a thing for cars. He wasn't disobedient or 'ill trained", he was a normal child with a like for cars. Harness was used.
My hubs was very against a harness for our 18 month old...right till the little angel started leading us where he wanted to go, and he saw the potential for danger.
Id say the only opinion you should consider is the one of your wife. She wants it on your child. I REALLY wouldn't buck that.

The only thing people seem to have against them is that they look like dog leads. So it's all about appearances. I just think that is pretty shallow and people should get over that and stop sneering at those of us who decided to use what in the end are a simple safety tool, not some form of torture. No-one is making you use one, just asking you to stop judging people who do. I just find the 'dehumanising' argument completely incomprehensible and over the top given that little that we do in modern childrearing is naturally human eg putting babies to bed in a different room from the parents/ travelling in cars/ putting kids in strollers etc

Has any person really looked back on childhood pics and said to their parents 'I felt really dehumanised when you made me wear that harness'?

Why can't you hold your childs hand? Or watch where they are going? Tell them off if they run off? Why use a rein?
You will not get very far in life or haven't if you can't handle other opinions on things. It's no different to breast feeding vs formula, dummy vs no dummy, co sleeping, controlled crying, walkers, feeding before 6 months ect. You need to stop taking things to heart and stop being so convinced you've got it right.
You wouldn't be so touchy on this subject if you felt you was doing the right thing. You'd just state your opinion and move along like everybody else.

Edited to delete because I can't be arsed :smokin:

My 2 kids are 20 months apart. My son was incredibly active as as a toddler and would take off if something caught his eye so if we went out to a crowded place - carnival, amusement park, etc. so he didnt get separated from me - or walking on a sidewalk he wore a similar monkey back pack. Sometimes it was impossible to hold his hand every second, carry an infant and/or push a stoller at the same time and knowing he couldn't take off the second I let go of his hand was a lifesaver. I put the loop around my wrist and held his hand at the same time and eventually just wearing the pack which had a pocket for small toys, was enough to keep him from running off and the rein was unneccesary - around age 3. My daughter preferred to be carried when she was a toddler so she never wore it with the rein attached but would have if she was a runner like her big brother.

Id never put my kid on a leash...but thats just me.

That being said i baby wear my infant and my 3yo and 6 yo hold my hands. i also give them freedom to roam & be kids. (but of course we hold hands and are careful if theres traffic, a big crowd, etc).

They are not brats they are 26 and 24.

I don't know your children so I'm not saying this is or isn't true for them, but age doesn't necessarily mean someone isn't a brat. My boyfriend is a huge brat most of the time, and he's almost 26. Giving someone's age isn't a reasoning for why they are not a brat.
