[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're a lazy parent.[/quote]

How is this lazier than a stroller or a carrier?  The positive difference being the child can WALK and actually get some exercise.[/quote]

Wow, you really don't get it. I'm guessing you have a collection of toddler leashes.

The parent is lazy because parenting a child by teaching them to hold your hand and not dart in front of traffic actually takes some effort. [/quote]

NP but I don't think you get it. Some children will run away at any time the have a second of freedom or feel your hand lessen its death grip. Airport security flagged our carry on and when I slid it over to them he took off in a second. Just one example.[/quote]

I was travelling alone with my toddler when i needed to use the bathroom.

As soon as I started to pee, he looked at me smiled, went under the door and started running and laughing.

I yelled at him,tried to stop peeing, pulled up my pants and took off after him.

I left my suitcase and purse in the stall.

Some guy caught him at near the ticket counters by the airport entrance.

We got a monkey backpack after that [/quote]

My children never ran from me like you describe, that's true. I made being with me fun and interesting. I've traveled to meet my husband working overseas with two kids under 3, so I have had plenty of situations like you describe. I suppose it does take some finesse and you have to start early and be consistent, but it can be done. Certainly, a leash is easier if you're not willing to put in the effort.  [/quote]

I am a parent of teenagers.

You will have your moments to eat crow, and you will look back on your smugness with embarrassment.
