| Shopping With Kids | ||||||
Shopping with kids. Doesn't sound scary, does it? Well, if it doesn't that's because you haven't had to go clothes shopping (for yourself) with a two year old who has just learned to say "Get out of here". I have no idea how my parents coped when they took us shopping, but I know that things must be easier today. Parents' rooms, playgrounds, child minding in shopping centres make shopping with young children so much more convenient. I'm just not sure whether the availability of video game arcades in the centres make it better or worse if you have older children - if you have an opinion on this, let me know. |

Shopping centres are doing so many good things these days, so why do the supermarkets still insist on putting lollies at the checkout well in reach of small children - the very people who shouldn't have access to them? |
