Well..I am sorry , BUT, Bad judgment on your part bud..I am pretty sure if it was the Father..you would NOT ask such dumb question then..As the Father might it had a different approach than the mother..I know I would..
Like LOM said..NOT all kids are perfect..What if this kid had some sort of Illness that makes the mother leash him..Attention Deficit Disorder comes to mind..Maybe even Deaf..Who knows man..Sometimes some things are BEST to keep to your self..
My wife is going to Dallas next week and this is one of the things we talked about..Leashing the kids while she is over site seeing..Or roaming the malls..I am sorry but my KIDS are everything to me and if something would happen to them..She knows best not to come back..We NEVER leash them here as we think our parenting is good enough up to now to trust them..But..Do I trust others out there..Hell No!!!
