Kids at the supermarket

Kite2016 · 2016-09-22 05:29:49

Hi, I am looking for some advice on what other parents do with their kids at the supermarket? We have a 20 month old boy so he goes in the trolley as it usually is the easiest way to get round but were finding it increasingly difficult to do a shop with no drama. I know this a problem every parent faces with kids same age…

I really don't get nowadays why anyone would drag a child grocery shopping. I have 4 children, aged 6, 4, 4, 3 and there is no way in hell I'd bring even one of them with me to the shops. I usually do Click & Collect (absolutely bees-knees) and schedule to collect groceries after dropping kids to school/collecting them, or I pop to the grocery store while they're at school or after they've gone to bed for the evening. Given you've got a toddler - I'd suggest Click & Collect or browse the grocery aisles after bed time & let your partner hold the fort.
