[Ansteorra] re: little ones at events

[kwc3f at netscape.com]

Going to put my tuppence-worth in here...
>>snip<<
    >> I for one am a fan of the "leash."  I have 2 babies, I am outnumbered, 
and
I'd rather have people give me dirty looks than to have the horror of
running through an event wondering where one baby went while I was 
changing
the other's diaper.  Vivi is still too little to understand sometimes 
the
world is dangerous. <<
     Remember "leading strings?" A 'leash' is period, I think, in some cultures at least. I am for the 'leash,' used a tether on my own boy mundanely when he was small. I don't recall getting dirty looks (not that I care if someone did), and I knew where my son was at all times. Nowadays it is better to be safe, and my little one wasn't scarred psychologically or anything. AND, wouldn't the adults want little ones under guidance as opposed to running loose and getting somewhere dangerous for them? Good for you, my lady, for doing what keeps your young ones safe nearby.

Footprints . . . The Sequel

Then I said, "But Lord, what are these 
two lines in the sand next to Your 
footprints?" And He answered,
 "My child, those were the times I had to 
drag you kicking and screaming until 
you decided to get a clue and snap out of it."
