penpenhooray: airyairyquitecontrary: indigobluerose: joey-wheeler-official:people in the notes out here defending putting your fucking kids on leashes it’s… a safety tool??? are you all serious right now? There are people who think every parent should have endless reserves of time and energy to manage their children’s behaviour regardless of the environment and how crowded it may be and how much choice they have about when to go there and how long they can spend there and how tired or otherwise capable of listening the children are. They also assume that if they ever see you using a leash/reins then that is the only method you ever attempt to manage your children’s behaviour in any circumstances and you think it is perfect. I would legitimately be dead if my mother hadn’t put me on a leash. I had zero self awareness or control, and was known for randomly darting off, even if it was into traffic or off a cliff.The fact my mother had me first and thought “You know…let’s have another” and had two more children is a mystery I will never understand. Stop fucking w evolution. Animals to dumb to stay with their pack get ate. -- source link
