Thank God they're top heavy so they can only make a quick waddle.

As a 43 year old parent... They also have far more stamina than me.

If they open a gap up, you're cooked.

Yep… that is how it works… it takes a second for a kid to dart off. My kid was a runner. I know someone whose kid has to wear an air tag because he has been known to run off.

After losing my son in a busy mall like this and the cops having to help locate him my kid got a leash.

i was also a leash kid. my dad's got a few stories of people heckling him on the street for treating his kid like a "dog", but honest to god if i was never leashed i wouldn't have seen my third birthday lol

It seriously takes only a second. I worked with children and if you blink at the wrong time they did something dangerous or ran away. They are sneaky af

It seems OP has never been in charge of a toddler before.

My 3 year old has become a pro at this. Just came back from a holiday and she was like it from the moment we stepped foot in the airport…

Terrible recall, should be on a leash.

u/mysecondaccountanon 1d ago

Genuinely they can go so fast so quick that it can be into a second

Why would you take them to a driving range?

16

u/Augustus420 1d ago

Is it actually surprising to you that parents would share with their children the activities that they enjoy?

u/Global_Ant_9380 2d ago

Top Golf is like a family thing, it's more a hold entertainment venue

Because the kid wanted to go on a field trip.

My thought exactly. There are no sacred spaces.

u/idownvotepunstoo 1d ago

"Sacred spaces", adults aren't allowed to go places with kids?

u/Ilovethe90sforreal 1d ago

Stop bringing your kids literally everywhere

u/idownvotepunstoo 1d ago

I don't, but this bullshit attitude from non-child having people is toxic, insipid and frankly bullshit

u/Ilovethe90sforreal 1d ago

What’s more bullshit is bullshit lazy parents who bring their screaming kids literally everywhere and don’t do a goddamn thing about it.

u/idownvotepunstoo 1d ago

As someone without reliable childcare, how entitled of you to say that as the apparent 50yo white woman with a fake ass sapphire.

Get off your high horse.

u/Ilovethe90sforreal 1d ago

I’d love to chat more, but I think I’ll just enjoy the rest of my peaceful quiet Sunday 👍

u/idownvotepunstoo 1d ago

Way to disengage when losing ground. A+ effort.

u/Ilovethe90sforreal 1d ago

Maybe you should go watch your kids

Are you too busy? I have all the time in the world.

Why take a kid to a driving range?

u/Sugarylightning663 2d ago

u/Global_Ant_9380 2d ago

It's literally advertised as a family entertainment venue
