It also teaches them to learn to behave, that is if the parents are doing their job. Horrible kids in supermarkets are a nightmare - but it's only the parents to blame.
Bring pack parenting!
Hi Robinia. I love it when my grown up son comes to visit and comes shopping with me. He is just so good at packing bags quickly and with care. Always keeps the food stuff away from soap powder etc. He has packed my bags ever since he was very young. He also is a good cook - see the question from In A Pickle in Food and Drink about Jamie Oliver!
What's nice now is that he often pays as well!
Nice to see you!
These children have been at school all day and there is nothing better than coming home in the winter or going to a park with their mum in the summer and just chilling out or having some hot buttered toast in the winter, they do not I am sure want to be dragged round a supermarket.. The last place they would want to be.
But I never dragged my son around a supermarket. We had a good time choosing what we would eat and chatting all the time. I do feel sorry that some kids are dragged round looking bored whilst their parents can't even be bothered to involve them.
Yes it would be nice if we could all go home after work and eat buttered toast and snuggle in front of the TV, but kids have to learn what the real world is like and parents should give them experience of the real world.
Mums and Dads have to work to look after and support their kids. Sometimes Mums and Dads are too tired to go to the park straight after school.
Families are about working and playing together and I would think that the majority of kids would rather shop with a loving parent than be stuck in a club after school or collected at some hour from an all day nursery.
