It’s not uncommon to see an entire family shopping for groceries together, but one woman recently went on a rant about parents who bring all their kids to the market, and she was surprisingly met with a lot of support.
The woman shared on the parenting website Mumsnet that she doesn’t understand why whole families need to shop together and why one parent can’t stay home with the kids. "I normally do the food shop on Saturday or Sunday morning. It's not rammed, but it's fairly busy, and one of the things that makes it so busy is entire families grocery shopping together,” the woman writes. "Yesterday, it was mum, dad and three kids maybe 5/6 and under...why?? Surely one parent can stay home with kids, and one can do the shopping?”
The woman notes that often the kids wind up bored and touching everything on the shelf. She adds that she understands why a single parent would have to bring their kids but she just doesn’t understand why a whole family needs to make the trip. Do you agree with her?
