I used the living shit out of my maya wrap AND my evenflo backpack. Never lost a kid.

For some reason that picture looks odd.

Man: Now sweetie, I want you to look over there because daddy has to pee.

Jinx: Were you ever able to get LJ to wear that? If so, pictures PLEASE!!

Back in the '50's my parents lived in an apartment complex not far from the UN in New York. There was a big common green space for the apartment dwellers and there were several close lines set up for drying clothes. My older brother who was 4 at the time had a habit of wondering off (he was once returned by the mail man) so my mother hiched him to the clothes line much like you would tether a dog. He had the run of the lawn but couldn't get much farther away.

Oh, I should add that he turned out pretty much normal.

Other than always smelling like warm spring breezes and paying hookers to fluff and fold him, that is.

When will casinos start offering daycare? It would probably be a short slide into indenturing the kids to cover your gambling debts...

"My wife is ill and I can't stop work. So I chain him to a pole when I have a fare."

He said pole. The other author said tree. Not that it really matters..pole, tree...........it still SUCKS for the toddler. Looks damn cold too.

"The rickshaw ride is 10 cents, but you get a 2 cent discount if you hold the kid on your lap..."

monster · 02-06-2010, 12:52 PM

They don't ususally use nappies in China, I've heard.... so I think I'd want a bigger discount....

squirell nutkin · 02-06-2010, 01:13 PM

I'm thinking of skipping the China trip altogether...

monster · 02-06-2010, 01:28 PM

Kids don't cost much in China

But I agree, you'd think some sort of wrap would be do-able.

Chained to metal pole!

See kids today are spoiled, when I were a lad, we were lashed to a railway sleeper with rusty barbed wire..
.. and we were grateful.

luxury!

when we were young, our parents nailed our heads to a log!

ZenGum · 02-07-2010, 01:28 AM

Who could afford nails?

Our dad used to cut our legs off with axe, soon as we're born, so's we cou'nt run awa'.

Undertoad · 02-07-2010, 07:30 AM

With axe? You 'ad it looky! We wished we would have axe! We had to gnaw through our own legs at age two, and use the remains as meat at tea.
