A firestorm I hadn't intended, erupted last night on facebook. I posted the following comment after seeing a very uninterested looking, young mother at Starbucks yesterday. Her two-year-old daughter was trailing behind her as she looked off the other direction, her arm being flopped around by her daughter's movements (I should have grabbed a pic).
Now, I admit, I have no kids yet (our daughter is due in July) and my single mother had my twin sister and I on a leash when we were young. At this point, though, I can safely say I would never put my child on a leash. But, that may change when parenthood hits me over the head. :)
But what about you? What are your thoughts on the topic?
My facebook post: "
I've never understood why parents put their children on leashes. It looks lazy and like your child is an accessory that needs a collar."
Oh, the comments that followed!!! :)
