Why do they take them to places where there might be strangers.
Strangers should be allowed to walk wherever they like without having to worry that they might bump into a child.

And some strangers are obedient strangers. They go to regular obedience claases apparently so it must be true.

If a stranger comes up and starts sniffing your crotch, just remember he is being friendly.
He does not want to hurt you.
He is probably very well trained.

I think they should have designated areas just for strangers.

i did have a comment about clearing up their own poop but really not sure I should go there .

It's cows and strangers with dogs all in one field together.
A very dangerous situation
Better to stay locked up inside

MamaMaiasaura · 12/07/2007 17:56

If the stranger shits on the path make sure it cleans it up tho

MamaMaiasaura · 12/07/2007 17:55

Do the strangers start chasing/trying to 'play' with the child?? You could have a number for the stranger warden programmed into your phone to call, unless of course th estrnager is wearing a medal to say it is friendly.

I do know a few well behaved strangers.
Can't see what all the fuss is about.
If you don't like strangers then you and your DC's should stay at home.

Well strangers have just as much right to go the park as children do.

As should cats, you know. I reckon people who don't like cats should stay at home, rather than venture out on the street where a cat might be wandering around.
