FFFC: this lady in my neighborhood takes her toddler on a walk on a leash every morning the same time I take my dog for a run. I'm not a parent yet so maybe I'll eat my words later in life, but it seriously makes me laugh. I don't mind the leashes in public places, but something about actually taking your kid for a walk like a dog freaks me out
I don't see why this freaks you out. She's getting her kid outside, getting fresh air and exercise, and trying to keep the kid safe.
Would it be better if her kid ran out into traffic?
I've always thought the leashes seemed ridiculous, but GDI sometimes I wish DS was tethered when we are out.
I don't know if I am hungover or still drunk, this makes me a terrible manager... But I did crush it playing shuffleboard at 1am... And @wallflwr926 is coming to see me tonight!
Sorry if huge!
You drunk-posted last night??? I had no idea! lol
It's really hard to tell if Pepper is drunk is drunk even IRL.

I used to side eye leashes. Until I almost saw a kid get hit by a car. I was so shaken up. The event haunted me for a couple weeks.
I don't use a leash on my son but if I was in a situation where there were a lot of cars or some other danger I definitely would consider it.

Maybe that child is a runner. If I take my kid out for a walk & she darts off I'm pretty much seriously fucked...I'm fat & my "running" is a damn joke. Luckily she doesn't run off but if she did, she'd be on a leash. My kid's safety is worth more than whatever my judgy fucking neighbor thinks.

I'm sorry you think I'm a shitty parent that knows their child and his tendencies better than you do and doesn't want him to wander off in a big crowd?

I walk near a local tourist attraction regularly and I've lost track of the number of children I've seen in public running off from their parents and the parents being completely oblivious that the kid is far enough ahead of them that if someone came up and nabbed the kid the parent would have no chance to catch the kidnapper. I didn't use a leash with DS but if I ever had a runner I definitely would use one.
Someone on my FB feed just posted about someone who seemed "perfectly fine" parking in a handicap spot (they had a placard). It's taking everything in me to not respond. It just shot my blood pressure through the roof.

This. I got side-eyed for parking in handicap spaces a lot after getting out of the boot I had to wear after my foot surgeries. Those who side-eyed had no idea how hard walking was.

When pregnant with DD I got put on activity restriction before I was even showing. Meaning not being on my feet for longer than an hour. I used to get so many judgmental looks at the store using the electric carts. Sorry, I don't want to pass out while grocery shopping. Eta: FIL is 90% disabled per the army, but looks fine getting out of his truck...only because his spine is fused in several places.
I don't see why this freaks you out. She's getting her kid outside, getting fresh air and exercise, and trying to keep the kid safe.

I think it's more of a situational thing. I totally get the kids on leashes at zoos, airports, etc but we live in a super quiet neighborhood and the kid has always been really calm. And you're right, I don't know if the kid ran away sometime before or any other back story. All I know is a couple people walk their dogs at around the same time so the one toddler on the leash getting walked is a little humerous.
Land yes, "freaks me out" was totally the wrong word choice. But it does make me chuckle every morning, even if that makes me a bad person
And what if that kid is special needs? Now you are laughing at a SN child that has a parent smart enough to keep them safe.

I totally see how it is necessary or practical, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look a lil funny. Like braces or the female condom...

I was one of those kids on leashes that you were laughing at. Thanks.

I had AS several times with an ex. I haven't even let H try though. Ex was very small, it didn't hurt at all.. H is significantly larger and I just think "ouch". H also doesn't know that I've ever done anal with anyone. I've never lied, he just never asked.
