It's one thing to see kids at grocery stores and DSHS, both have essentials. But when I used to close a lot at my work I was baffled by the parents who dragged their clearly tired and cranky kids to a fabric store at 8:30 PM. We sell nothing that is required to live. I see it with sick kids, too. Why not let your poor child rest at home, instead of shopping for scrapbooking paper for two hours? Or when a parent is shopping, why not bring something to entertain them? I'm not a parent, but I feel like there are lots of cheap and easy options.
I was just at an party where there were many small kids, but the event wasn't specifically for them. So somebody brought a bunch of construction paper and markers/glitter/stickers, and I'm telling you that was like gold. I'm often a grouch, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well that kept their attention. I suppose it required a small amount of planning, which is beyond SCs.
