10. Mom tied me up to a clothes rack one summer..... |

I had taken a little adventure tour of the area with my neighborhood buddies one day back in 1968 (five years old). So what if we were a little late for dinner mom? We got home by dark!

and don't apologize for it. We took my two eldest to Disney when they were 2 & 4 and when they weren't in the stroller, they were on a lead like that. Would have gone crazy without them.
Any steps to keep a child safe are fine by me.

8. I also used one on my oldest |

and will not tolerate anyone second-guessing that decision. It was a useful tool to train him that it was IMPORTANT that I knew where he was when we were out and about. Once he figured out that "big boys" had a communication responsibility, it was no longer necessary.

Really?
I've noticed that recently with Paris Hilton's popularity that people are using small dogs as fasion statements. I guess it's only logical that people use kids as trophies.
