baby backpack with leash image
Spencey
Today I saw someone with their child on a leash. It was one of those backpacks with the leash attached to it. What do you think of these? Are they wrong?
Answer
Leashes are not meant just for dogs. We use them to keep our eyeglasses around our neck, our dogs safe from running off and/or being hit by a car, purse straps are a leash of sorts, some people use a leash on their wallets. If we use this device to protect these material things and our pets, why would we not use them to protect our most precious children?
Children are FAST. In just a fraction of time, they can be chasing a butterfly into the road, or lost in the crowd at a mall, etc. The leashes offer a sense of safety and security for both parent and child.
Holding their hands is extremely uncomfortable. They have to hold their arm at an angle that is not natural, it causes hands to sweat, and it gives them no freedom to explore. The tethers keep them safely at your side without discomfort for either parent or child, and they can still use their hands, etc.
Not everyone needs to use them. I bought them when I took my two older children- then 5 and 7- to Disney World. We did not need them, but had I thought they were necessary Iw oudl have used them in a second. My youngest daughter is 3 and we have not used it with her for a while, but we did- she actually enjoyed it but then again she also went through a phase of crawling around and barking and panting. Just a vivid imagination.
In my opinion, it is not wrong. It is no different than using a baby carrier, stroller, play pen, straps on the seat in the shopping cart, etc.

What's your biggest pet peeve to see other parents doing?
�h�
I have two: baby-talking to their kids (high-pitched voice is fine.... blabbering like an idiot to them isn't) and telling me how to parent.
Answer
I'm probably gonna get a lot of thumbs down for this...
But my number one would be a baby with a bottle of formula crammed in it's mouth... Makes me sick to my stomach!
Parents who use those stupid backpack leashes
Moms who have really sad and distant looking kids and the moms are "perfect" with salon hair and long fake nails. And you and clearly tell they pay no attantion to their kids
Moms who force 2 and 3 year olds to walk every where and would rather yell at them to hurry up than just pick them up.
and parents who completely ignore their kids who are wreaking what ever establishment they are in.
Sorry I have a lot. Bad parents rrrreally get under my skin...
