    This subject always makes me laugh.

    If it's so hard to shop with children due to parking issues why not shop online?
    Or just leave the little beggars at home, lost count of the number of screaming sprogs I have seen being dragged around supermarkets, stressing the parent, sprog and other shoppers.

    PS I DO NOT have a problem with sprogs, have dragged 2 of my own up to adulthood.....

    I am always amazed when I see a couple with 3 or 4 children trudging around a supermarket...why would anyone in their right mind do that?

    We don't shop online because of the dodgy fresh produce and poor dates on things. Fine if you want canned or frozen food though.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who wonders about that. I have no idea why any parent would take their child shopping if they have someone to leave it/them with at home.

    I can only guess that they are teaching them "consumption" or "buy, buy, buy".

    What annoys me most is that a lot of the time parent and child spaces are closer to the supermarket door than disabled bays!

    And what annoys me is that people say that, then forget that they have to go around the shop anyway. You don't stop as soon as you get to the shop door y'know :rolleyes:

    Because some "parents" choose not to neglect their children.
