It's always funny to see how parents will tell others "you don't have kids so you don't know and therefore I'm right and you're wrong". I'm sure it's tough and I can sympathize, but you're still making excuses when you say your kid's behavior is erratic and so you should put a leash on him like a dog. Discipline your kid like he's a human, it has been done before.

I love Capped's response. "Leash hate", rofl. It's not hatred of the leash, it's dislike of lazy parents who treat their kid like animals because they can't be bothered to find a humane solution to their problem. We have technology now which allows us to find things or people without ridiculing the kids.

And now obviously people will tell me that I don't get to judge because I don't have kids, so fine, I'll hide behind the opinion of essentially everyone I know, including my mother and my friends who have kids. My mother would be disgusted. All my friends would be disgusted. Nobody cares about that little argument that "parents can't be wrong because YOU don't have kids". Stop trying to justify your BS like that. I'm sure it's difficult tho but you're not that helpless, come on.

You go on about how disgusting and BS it is yet how is is that different to strapping them in a pram, trolley or a high chair?

How is it not different? I just don't see the resemblance... If the kid is old enough you don't tie him in a stroller or whatever. I've never really seen that tbh anyway. Annoying kids are walking around at the supermarket, at the IKEA, at the grocery stores, that's fine.

As long as they are treated safely and are happy I don't see the issue (beyond a cultural stigma in the West). 'Disgusting' is beating your kid or locking them in a car. A tool that stops them from getting run-over/lost but gives them more freedom than a pram is suddenly horrible parenting for some subjective BS that the kid doesn't care about.

Nothing says freedom like getting tugged around.

It's often hard for a non-parent to realise the age differences, and what they're capable of, between a toddler and a kid. I'm talking about toddlers. Kids walking around a supermarket is fine and don't really need to be restrained after 3 or 4. We're talking about when the kid is not old enough, like around 2, but wants to walk around and not be in the stroller.

@ 'nothing says freedom like', try some basic reading comprehension.

I cbf replying to the rest of your points (though I completely disagree), as I'm sure you won't change your mind and I've already tried my best to put up rational opposition to the guys with leash-complexes in this thread.

It still seems to me that most of the dissenters have this idea that the children being harnessed are harnessed everywhere they are taken, for any reason, for a long period, from ages 1-10 (okay now I'm exaggerating). But seriously, in my experience, both as a child who was so inhumanely harnessed and as an inside observer of many other families who practice this, the children are only harnessed if a) they've shown a penchant for wondering/running/exploring b) are about 3, no more than 4, years old and c) are being taken to very crowded venues such as malls or theme parks.

I was an awfully "independent" toddler. When my mother would take me to the mall, I loved to hide everywhere and explore nooks and crannies. My younger brother was WORSE than me, being the type to not only explore, but sprint to wherever he was going, regardless of traffic, human or vehicular. I, myself, had to rescue Nathan multiple times from certain doom. We each had harnesses; mine was blue and his was teal, and they had sweet teddy bears stitched into the front. And you know what? We loved those things. We didn't have to sit tied up in the stroller anymore when we went to the mall (which drove Nathan especially crazy). After our irresponsible phase (age 4, maybe a little later for Nathan) we ditched them. The other 2 children in my family, brother and sister, didn't need them after us because they weren't quite so free spirited about exploration. Anecdotal evidence, etc etc. My parents only used them at the mall or fairs or other very crowded places. Never a corner store or Wally World.

....aaaand thanks to today's cool gadgets, you actually CAN track your spawn super easily with this:

Get one quickly, shit's gonna be in limited supply with the tens of thousands and thousands of pre orders stacking up. There's probably similar crap already out there on the market.

I actually have a "MADE IN CHINA" shirt to match his "MADE IN MEXICO" shirt, I'm pretty racist.

when it comes time to tell him about the birds and the bees, can you do one of your mspaint diagrams to explain how it works???!?!

Nice anecdote; my mom always likes telling the story of how she came over from Hong Kong all by herself pregnant with my sister and pushing me in a stroller crying to be held, while my brother was tethered to her leg as he was running around like a banshee. I really don't remember that much from those years but all three of us have the baby forehead scars to show we all required stitches from running headfirst into something.

I'm sure by then MSpaint will be touch-control only and in 3D holographic animated gifs.

Good idea, cellphone attached to the kid's collar set to autorecieve so I can talk to the kidnappers!

I would say a leash is required simply for bad parenting. There are other better methods (that take more work from an active parent). Also smacking your kid isn't good. Here is an excellent book to read "Time-out For Toddlers" http://www.amazon.com/Time-Out-Toddlers-Positive-Solutions-Problems/dp/0425129438
RIP SPOR 11/24/11 NEVAR FORGET
