“I was at the park and my neighbor saw that I had a backpack leash for my child,” she said. “He called me a horrible mother for treating a child as a pet.”
“There were actual dogs around with leashes but this was a kid’s playground area. Other neighbors have begun to treat me coldly which makes me wonder.”
She’s left wondering if this is true and if she really is a bad mom for getting her son a backpack leash.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“My mom leashed me and always defended it with, “I put a leash on my dog to prevent them from running off and getting hurt- and I love my child much more.” Course she said it with the sass level that could melt paint so…”
“I have two children with ADHD and while it may be hard to hear, this won’t be the last time someone harshly judges your parenting choices in the oncoming years.”
“You’re doing what’s best for you and your family. Your son is not physically or emotionally pained by this choice.”
“You’re a great mom and you’re doing a fantastic job!”
“Keep it up and any time someone says you’re not or makes you feel like doing what’s best for the people you love and care for, dm me and I will gladly remind you! Being a mom is hard but you are awesome!”
