You’ve got two huh.

Hey everyone check out this parenting expert over here! They’ve raised two kids 😲

That’s basically 100% of human behavior, so yeah. Wow. Leashes? Can’t fathom a situation that would warrant it. You’re right. Everyone who has ever used a leash is correcting for a problem you’re very experienced in. After all, you have two kids.

I’ve met too many people like this.

Your kid is having an issue with something? “Well my kids never did that!” But said in a snide way that implies you’re doing something wrong.

I never Made my Point about, that i have children. It was only to answer the post before that i “100% don’t have children”. It really doesn’t Matter If you have children or not

  Or
  
  Are a bad parent.

    My vote is that you’re lying about being a parent. But if you are a parent, then you’re letting social pressures and some very strange and warped perception of things limit what you do as a parent to protect your kids.
    
    I won’t outright say that it makes you a “bad” parent, but I personally cannot fathom not taking every step I can to protect my child. And no, a leash doesn’t limit their development. It factually promotes it on the very basis that it allows them to be more active in walking around and exploring in situations where it would be unthinkable to let a child walk around (heights, dangerous areas, on a boat, large dense crowds, etc.).
    
    Being stuck in a stroller 99% of the time is awful for kids that want to run around and explore. Some parents don’t have the physical strength or ability to carry a kid all the time.
    
    Twins or even triplets that are very active and wild are a perfect example. You will never contain two very wild toddlers by just “watching them”. And if you try, you are a bad parent.
    
    Ultimately you choose a very dumb him to die on. You are wrong.
