Random Parenting Questions



After much observation at my local public library as well as the grocery store I would like to ask parents a few questions. Ok parents, ready? Here goes.

1) Why on earth would you allow you toddler to run around a parking lot without holding your hand? Has the pain truly become too much? Are you sort of kind of hoping they get hit by a car?

2) Is there a reason that parents think the library is an appropriate place to simply dump their children? Is the library protected by some super human force field that does not allow child predators in? As a library employee, I would just like to point out that to my knowledge there is no such force field and that perhaps it is not the best idea to leave your young child unattended at the library or any other public space.

3) It is really a good idea to let your children push the shopping cart at the grocery store? Yes , yes they are so adorable when they can not see over the cart and are pushing ever forward. My only concern is that these cute little buggers cannot actually see where they are going and therefor are very likely to run over the elderly lady who is looking at the canned veggies.

Just some random thoughts from someone who does not have children.
