We're not a daycare service

[AnaKhouri]

There's an astonishing number of people out there who don't understand that having a child means you also have to change your routine and your priorities. I've seen plenty of posts about parents dragging kids out shopping for nonessentials at midnight or leaving them languishing in cafes alone while they gamble.

Children mean it's not about you anymore. Deal.

So there are porn stores at every corner but a pharmacy or grocery store is 2 states over or something? I just don't understand why she didn't go to a regular store to buy panties. Oh, she needs special panties for that special night with her s.o.? Sounds like the type of person to leave her baby outside the front door for two hours while she gets it on.

Oh gawd if that happens CPS needs to be called!

Many people seem to confuse customer service with customer servants.

That is a staple here at CS. There used to be an entire section devoted to such examples: Parents to be Proud Of.
I've had my share of sperm and/or egg donors who tried to drop their kids off at the tax office while they dash home for that missing doc.

huh. I'd have thought that you holding him would be a liability and the store wouldn't have permitted it, but apparently the store at least trusts you to understand the workings of another human being entirely dependent on others for survival.

Honestly, I'd assume it was for everyone else's comfort. I have 0 interest in seeing toddlers or babies in anywhere like your store while I'm there, and that goes double if they're fussy.
