But I have babysat kids and been out in public with them where I felt "this" close to wishing I'd had a leash for them.<br /> I think it's all relative. If you have a runner and it would generally be safer if they had a bit more restriction - then yes, do it!<br /> But if the parent is just being plain lazy (sorry, I'm not trying to offend anyone) then I think it's kind of ridiculous!!Our Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271719113206631710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492061472187481934.post-42502198321198023292013-04-13T08:53:49.022-06:002013-04-13T08:53:49.022-06:00I have only done it once.

But what the commenter did not know was that the child could run very fast, much faster than her mother, that the child would run if she felt compelled, and the mother feared she should would never catch her in that busy airport if this were to happen. So the mother (that's me) resorted to the leash. Had this been my middle child, I would not have needed the leash. If I were to travel with my son, the third child, I would use the leash, because he, like his oldest sister, is a "break-away and run" kind of kid. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
