Being in a crowded place such as DW sound PERFECT for a child to be attached to mom - that is for safety and I see nothing wrong with it...but for everyday living - I can't see us treating our children the same as our yorkies when it comes to playing outside. |

NOW I understand the parents logic but back when I was young - I only saw confinement. |
Oh, no, I didn't take any offense to what you said about children being on harnesses. I knew exactly what you meant......I just laughed so hard because boy did we hate those things!!!!
And wow to the cage! I too understand the logic behind it, but boy does that still sound a little extreme. I am picturing a prison yard just as you mentioned. Definitely sounds like it would take the fun out of playing outside!!!! Of course I'm sure that parents would put their kids in bubbles if they could just to make sure that they are well protected. I don't have any kids yet but know that I am going to be a nervous wreck when I do as I am overly protective of my furkids!!!!
