i think some posters are visualizing ‘the top part’ of the shopping cart as the place for toddlers to tosit with their feet hanging forward out, and some as the upper half level of the 2 levelled shopping carts…
Miritchka- i didnt mean that. I meant that even if someone were worried abt the object on the baby poking the baby’s stomach or legs because of a corner, the puffy snowsuit would prevent that. You are right the lolly example was a bad one because of plastic.
Trust789- +1!!!!
And i think the permission/dignity thing is going too far. You dont ask your child whether he’d like a needle, or if he wants to brush his teeth. Or in this case, if the screaming child was 4 and you are of the opinion that such a child should be taken out of the store, do you ask him to follow you, or pick him up and walk out? You do not need your child’s permission to give him a chore (at least not under 8 for the liberal-minded), and yes as a parent, you can give appropriate punishment/consequences. It’s not dignifying to change a child’s dirty diaper or spilled on shirt either.
Ken zayn- you are blaming the system for pushing mothers to have ‘too many’ children which you say causes them to act improperly from exhaustion etc as you see applicable in this scenario. One key point missing though: from what we knoe, this mother only has one child.
