Reply #53: Supermarkets are the worst [View All]

[gollygee]

You've got your kid in the cart reaching for all the pretty packages that you don't intend to buy, which leads to dozens of potential tantrums. And you can't usually just get up and leave like you can a lot of places - you need food and if you don't get through it then you have to go back and start over another time.

I've gotten frustrated in the supermarket with my daughter, but I would *never* talk to her like that. Kids believe every word their parents say. They don't understand that some of what's said is in frustration.
