Mommy rant: What is up with kids on leashes?



This is actress Milla Jovovich and her daughter/pet, Ever. I came upon the photo when I was flipping through the latest US Weekly. I believe the leash is officially called a "child harness." Whatever.

Lately, I feel like I'm seeing more and more of them. This weekend, Sabrina and I were trolling the aisles of Costco when a kid on a long leash zoomed around me, and I got caught in it. "Mommy! Dogs have those!" Sabrina proclaimed. "Yes, doggies do have leashes!" I answered as this dad glowered at me then had to run (literally, his child was off again).

I realize some kids are hard to control. But I think it's wrong to restrain any child this way. Even if you use a cute leash, like the $10.99 Cow Buddy Harness from Target (pet child not included).



Where do you stand on the child leash controversy?
