I always hate seeing people pushing their babies in stroller that are facing the sun with no hats on or shade of any kind. Or facing into the wind with no cover.


Married the love of my life. Now Mrs. McQueen!
Now just waiting for baby!

Young girls pushing babies in strollers and the baby's neck is all contorted because their head is unsupported... would they like to sleep like that?

Walking into the mall yesterday, I saw a guy crouched down to a stroller to see the baby in it, was close enough that he had his arm around the kid, smoking.  I wanted to yell at them to get that cigarette away from that kid.. I was fuming.

When parents forcibly grab their children by the arm, (or leg) to drag them along...it makes me cringe...I saw this woman once pick up her kid that way - by the arm.  My husband and I were appalled!  It looks like she was going to pull his arm right out of the socket. 

As for the "leashes" - I have yet to use one, but I have strongly considered it.  At this point, we only have one child, and when we go on outings where I would be most concerned about something happening, my husband and I are usually both present, so there has been no need for one.  For instance though, if we were to go to a VERY crowded place, such as Canada's Wonderland, the Zoo, etc., I would consider using one. 

My sister-in-law has to use something like that (it's a backpack for her toddler to wear, with a "leash" for her to hold) because she has a newborn as well, and unfortunately, her toddler is very high-spirited (they are great parents, and DO discipline, but this kid has been energetic from the time he entered the world) and he runs off when he has the opportunity, so for safety's sake, she has to use it. 

So, while I used to also think it was horrible to put a kid on a "leash", I will say that I know believe that there are different circumstances and reasons for doing certain things, and if the bottom line is to keep your kids safe, than I am all for it.

I want one! Tessa is a little monkey, and she likes to run...The backpack ones are much better than what they used to have...i know my mom used a wrist one with my sister, and she had that off in no time

You can call me 'Mommy Dearest'!!
