Why make yourself, and your child look like idiots' while shopping? I went to a superstore earlier today and purchased some bulk candy. While I was walking in the aisle I saw a mother with her teenage daughter inside a shopping cart. I had to catch myself; with not verbally bursting out and asking; why in the heck is your daughter riding inside that cart? But, I didn't, because I didn't want to get caught up in someone else's business. It just comes to show me, we are all works in progress. For the life of me, I just couldn't let myself have my teenage daughter ride in a shopping cart. It's a disgrace to you as a parent and it's really public embarrassment to both the parent and the child. Now as far as I could see there were no visible signs of the child being physically challenged; and even if the child was physically challenged there are wheel chairs available for someone who needs assistance.
In my opinion; it boils down to poor parenting skills. It is likely that there is a lack of maturity with their mother in this case. While I give people the benefit of the doubt try, it really bothers me, poor public exposure, how to act in society and among your colleagues. I'm sure that probably or might have been a "one-off thing, but a teenager, come on. What happened to the integrity, dignity, morality and self-esteem?
I hope that you and I practice good parenting skills all the time. Not only at home but especially if we didin public. We can easily be embarrass and put to shame by our children because of some of the things they do in public; but making ourselves look bad in public with our children as adults is doubly bad. I examine my parenting daily and I want to encourage you to do likewise, it will keep you on your toes and make you want to be right, live right and set a positive example of being a parent with good parenting skills rather than having parenting skills that's disgraceful.
Last but not least, on school nights have a designated time for your children to come in from outdoors; there's no reason why your child should still be out at night, not unless it's something of importance. I think 8:00 p.m. is a reasonable time. In my opinion; children should be in the house getting ready for bed to get ready for good nights sleep; so they will be ready to rise and shine in the morning to go to school. As you teach your child or children how to act in society you want to be the role model and a good influencer in your child's life. Having good parenting skills will earn you respect both in the publics eye; but more importantly in your children's lives.
Your child or children are an asset to you and not a liability. Look, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of your womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3.

I enjoyed reading your Blog as I found useful information here.The merchandising products such as retail signage includes disciplines in pricing and discounting, physical presentation of products and displays, and the decisions about which products should be presented to which customers at what time.
