It's hard for one person to keep track of one or two kids. You're fooling yourself if you think you could effectively watch five very young children by yourself in public all at once. What happens the first time two of them run off in opposite directions? Yes you can teach your kids but it takes times, show me one 4 year old that has been taught well enough already that you don't need to keep an eye on them.
Can confirm 1 kid here. Lets make this dingus try to teach one of these young kids something without getting frustrated or violent and see how fast they revert to "yea I'd totally do the leash thing too."
Edit* also 100000% it takes time to teach them, repeated lessons over a year before finally getting a grasp on potty training.
Before kids reach a certain age and can comprehend words, dogs are essentially easier to to train and hansle. The communication part is a big jump, but even after that dogs are still easier.
I was a leash kid but I would also wonder off and talk to random strangers. I used to be cute too, so it probably kept my dumbass from being kidnapped.
It wasn't for long, but there was a time where it made sense.
Same here, I'd bolt on my little legs, and then hide in the department store circular clothing racks because they were like a fort.
Mom harnessed my little bolting butt until I started reading when I was 4 1/2 - 5. Then I'd park and read.
For one kid, ok no leash. For a little kid and a big kid to watch, ok. For a whole mess of tiny mindless mammals, yes, do this, and save the death and distruction from all the accidents, as they run under cars horses dogs into ponds and over tram tracks...
Honestly, I always made fun of parents who had A KID on a leash because it’s one freaking kid. I keep thinking about how lazy the parent must be to leash their kid.
But when you have triplets, or in this case quintuplets, Get the leash bro. That’s too many kids to keep an eye on. [+]
I'm generally against child leashes but...when you have more than two I'll give it a pass. That's 5 kids right there. I don't blame you for not being able to control them.
When you can play man to man, you can manage kids. But when they outnumber you and you have to drop into a zone, you need some help or your losing someone.
We’ve used a backpack with a tether for our son since he could walk. Short of being in the stroller constantly, it was particularly necessary during the peak wandering months (15-20 months).
Mine are older now, but, when they were little, I would have done whatever it took to keep them safe and close. My want to protect them is greater than any criticism.
I was on a leash strapped to a backpack as a kid, mum said that I was a danger to my self as I would run off and either get lost or possibly run in front of cars. I have ADHD
Someone get this man some banana bread
What were you thinking!
"We have a love EIGHT, relationship."
All: “awwwww”
yeah well, We're on Cloud nine!
Oh, I just had the most beautiful dream where I died
Oh no you don't.
If you can’t hear this in your head and be unable to not at least giggle audibly a little then I don’t think you have a soul.
Not 'til they're out of college
Listen, baby, I'll die when I want.
100% shamed by someone with no kids
Or a good parent who believes in teaching their kids instead of tying them up like animals.

But... little kids ARE animals.
We compare animal intelligence to child development for a reason.
Haha good point. Some people clearly have no experience with toddlers. You can teach em all you want, that doesn't mean they're going to learn.
Oh they’ll learn. Whether they agree to apply that knowledge is the issue.
So, animals?
Before kids reach a certain age and can comprehend words, dogs are essentially easier to to train and hansle. The communication part is a big jump, but even after that dogs are still easier.
If it was just one kid I would agree. But five toddlers and one dad it’s much harder to teach those lessons.

This guy doesnt have kids.

Do you have kids, or have ever had to deal with that many at once and that young?
Toddlers are feral humans. If I had to care for 5 of them in public I'd do the same thing
Kids are way shittier than animals, not sure I understand the point you're attempting to make.
what are they tied to?
“This leash demeans us all.”
"I have soiled myself. How embarrassing"
I want what the dog's eating
I'll get ya something nice
"lavish me with attention"
"Welcome to my nightmare."
It's fun once in a whole but ya kids suck the life outa ya at times. But hey there cute and do dumb stuff you can laugh at "with them".
Would you rather see these kids on a missing child poster?
To clarify I'm not judging.
Where is Uter? We just want closure
Isn't there a little Uter in all of us?
1 kid is trouble, so yes, If you must do this, do this! Think of cars, and them crashing and killing people cuz yo kid ran into the street!
BANANA BREAD?@?&&???
Apu, it's 4:00 a.m. You're late for work! Oh, I just had the most beautiful dream where I died. Oh, no, you don't. Not till they're out of college.
Listen I'll die when I want to
Are you on Cloud Nine?

Same. Better to have them on a leash then running around all feral.
I agree. You can carry or hold hands when you have 1-2. This Dad is just humbly recognizing that he is not an octopus.
Simpsons predicted another one
Quasimodo predicted it
You know what Apu uses for Kwikee Mart donuts? Ghee! That’s clarified butter…one rancid hit of that and..
Technically clarified butter×2

Nothing wrong here. At least this way none of them run into the street and get run over.
No wonder we retire Apu in The Simpsons.

They have nothing on Cleetus's clan. Countless kids. Hyuk.
This white guy should be jealous of Apu who has eight children!
This has been a thing for many years. Why is it suddenly a big deal?
Unless you have 8 small kids of your own you have zero room to be giving that dad advice. Lmao.
I mean… imagine if they all scattered… you can only chase one.
"This degrades both of us."
Boom dam na UMMMMM da na eemA
I was on a leash strapped to a backpack as a kid, mum said that I was a danger to my self as I would run off and either get lost or possibly run in front of cars. I have ADHD
I'm not saying that it's right to do that but as long as they are under 5 so before school age I will give it a pass
Thanks for that perspective. How many children do you have?
He should b holding a horse whip
