Would you let your kid do this?

OK, my DH thinks I'm overreacting, but twice in the last week, I've seen parents of toddlers letting their kids walk around in a public place totally barefoot.

The first time was on the Port Jeff ferry (the inside room by the lunch counter) and the second time was last night in the food court at the mall. Oh, and a complete stranger had to prevent the baby from going down the escalator.

Both babies were younger than 2.

Kids, even babies w/ NOTHING on their feet is like a crazy pet peeve of mine!!!! I hate seeing a kid barefoot!!! And walking around barefoot?? Oh, hells no!!

LOL I dont like babies in shoes-especially infants who cant walk. DRICVE SME NUTS to see them wearing timberland boots and expensive sneakers. They're BABIES and they like to spread out there toes. Socks are ok though.

I got the CUTEST socks for my friens baby-they have little maryjanes painted on them. TOO cute.

No, I don't like to see that either. If the kid can't walk he should not have Tims on!!!

I meant, put socks on at least. It's just a thing I have w/ kids in public w/ bare feet. My friends think I'm nuts.

LOL yea no to the tims! But the little socks I like if they're going out. In the house I like to watch them stretch their toes.

Back in 98, when I was in HS I worked at a the mall selling drawings of celebrities, at a booth (not a store). And small children (toddlers) kept trying to grab the pictures off. I had to chase one into the Disney store. When I pulled the picture away the kid, she started to scream then the mother (who was in a different store!) yelled at me for being mean to her child!

Babies like to touch their feet with their hands and guess where those little hands go.........in the mouth. Babies little feet are so delicate! I would NOTTTT agree with no shoes

Barefoot in public, unsupervised, and assistance for strangers ummmm that would be an N to the O! W T F is wrong with people. Nowadays you can never be too guarded.
