Hobbies usually involve an investment of time and effort... oh... wait... they're not the objective of the hobby, more of an unwanted side effect... My bad.
I can see why there's so much bad parenting about, even being a reasonably competent parent is a 24/7 job with no time off for good behaviour. In fact you probably get additional time if you do it well because they go to gradual school and you're still taking care of them then! Also, if you have more than one, you're outnumbered.
But yea, I taught mine not to approach strange creatures of any flavour without explict permission every time.
