Re: Another example of very bad parenting

A kid on a grocery belt is dangerous. Their shoelace or the tie from their good can get caught or a finger or long hair. Why would somebody let their kid do that? Their homes must be so chaotic if that's what they do in public...

Re: Another example of very bad parenting

Maybe we should bring our own spray disinfectant and spray our section of the check out belt first, before we place our items on it. I'm serious. Just use small spray bottles filled with our own larger bottles of disinfectant from home.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I wouldn't do that. I can just hear the people behind me groaning...

Well, it was worth a thought........lol........(Unscented, of course. There used to be a food surface unscented spray product that I used very often on my kitchen counters. I believe it's been discontinued, though....)

I never know whether your posts are serious or tongue and cheek.

Along with packing Pampers and Depends in my carry-on just in case someone is unprepared on a plane, I now need to bring a disinfectant spray when I go to the grocery store?

That's why you need one of those huge GILI bags.

Every time a reusable grocery bag is placed on the belt is opportunity for germs. No one knows where the bag has been place....as with our purses.

Re: Another example of very bad parenting

My goodness, under 5? How much under 4 yrs.?

We all know this isn't acceptable but why come here and keep posting this kind of topic? Just to pound on parents, children?

The parents said this was acceptable behavior? You don't know the child or parents, you see everything in the most unfavorable light. So eager to be negative.

Parents today don't want to hurt their childrens "self esteem" buy correcting them or teaching them manners. I see little good parenting today and it's a shame but you can't blame the child, if they're not properly taught. They drag them everywhere too, whether it's their nap time, time to eat, bed time. I went into a Starbucks with some of my friends after a movie one night, it was 9:30 and here comes in a family with two small children. My children were always in bed by 8 o'clock, that meant baths at 7 o'clock, reading time, then bed. Parents let children just run around until they drop from exhaustion. Children thrive when there is structure and rules. My children are 28 and 24 and today they are very productive, contributing members of society and successful and happy. Raising children is a big job and one that you don't want to fail at, when you fail, it affects all of society.

It's just not true.

There are many parents trying and succeeding in raising children with good manners and social behavior.
