I was so embarrassed. It must happen a lot more than you think though because they acted like it was no big deal. They even put my cold items in the bagged ice refrigerator while I was out.ShannanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817743128555661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033864425046043193.post-23499757175529084212007-11-05T11:15:00.000-05:002007-11-05T11:15:00.000-05:00Oh My Goodness!!

At least you hadn't gone to check-out yet!<BR/>One time when my husband did the grocery shopping (I was at work) he got all the way through the check-out and had a brain melt-down trying to remember his ATM/Pin number. He called me to see if I knew it - Um, no, I have a hard enough time remembering my own. Needless to say - I now know his number too!<BR/><BR/>My kids are 10 and 12 and will still do the same thing in the grocery store - they can always find something they want. :)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627100891908577662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033864425046043193.post-70013928928344821082007-11-05T11:04:00.000-05:002007-11-05T11:04:00.000-05:00LOL....great rationale...I'm gonna borrow that...LOL....great rationale...I'm gonna borrow that idea on my daughter the next time we're at the store!!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033864425046043193.post-8254014495465814922007-11-05T09:13:00.000-05:002007-11-05T09:13:00.000-05:00For me it depends on what store I go to. Walmart t...For me it depends on what store I go to. Walmart takes 90 minutes if I bring the kids or not. Or it could take even longer if my husband isn't there and I can enjoy myself. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what it is, but the kids don't affect my time any more. I remember when I had all little kids, it was a trial, but by the time I had 5 kids I made a rule, if nobody tells me what great kids I have, then you are all in trouble! Now, I could do this because when you go to the store with 5 kids under the age of 7, people watch you. They know you are going to destroy the store and cause a ruckous. So they compliment you when your kids are awesome! (if they were great and noone says anything, I didn't punish them, btw) <BR/>I also made a rule that if they ASKED for something then they got NOTHING. They had to be good the whole store trip, and then I would get them something if they were good, but not every time, but probably 2 out of 3 trips. Enough for them to want to be good, but often without so that they knew they weren't entitled to it. <BR/>And stick to your guns! If they are NOT good, or ask even once, do not cave in. They are allowed to say "That looks good, I bet I'd like that." But not ask for it. (that was my husband's training!)Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033864425046043193.post-17652397017727972062007-11-05T08:45:00.000-05:002007-11-05T08:45:00.000-05:00Wow do I remember those days!!!

Towards the end, did you have to go around again and get new cartons of milk and frozen/refrigerated stuff because they'd been standing at room temperature for so long and were melted? hehe. Good call on the candy request. I know I would not have handled that half as logically (I would've been more like "I said no! Now shut it!").Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
