Spanking

Re: Spanking

In this situation, because you have a younger one, I would consider one of those leash things. We had one that we only used in Disney World because I was absolutely terrified with all the stimulation of losing the kids.

Our kids LOVE their dog & monkey backpack-style leashes. I haven't used them in public yet (because I contain them in a stroller for now), but they put them on themselves as best they can and drag them around the house all day every day. It's become the closest thing they have to blankies. Sometimes they'll bring them to me and ask me to put them on, and then they'll wear them most of the day. (The leash part tucks into a pocket in the back.)

I was at a Nordstrom once, when a mom yelled out that she couldn't find her child. She was in hysterics. They locked all the doors leading to the mall and to the outside and called a "Code Anthony" over the intercom. The mom ran around the store screaming her child's name. My heart stopped for her. It was gut-wrenchingly terrible.

The boy finally came out from somewhere, the mom hugged and kissed him, and then proceeded to slap the bejeezus out of him.

Holy moly.

How terrifying! I wonder if the kid was glad he came back. Hopefully at least he didn't do it again.
