I know lots of busy parents who use online shopping..especially the ones who have little children...their only complaint sometimes is they don't get exactly what they ordered or some of the items are poor quality especially produce..otherwise it's a huge time saver to them..

"Busy" is just an excuse.

not when you have little kids..and taking little ones grocery shopping sometimes is not a very easy thing to do..just the other day I was grocery shopping and this gal had 4 small kids with her...one started screaming, one started grabbing stuff off the shelves and one was crying to go to the bathroom..the only kid that was happy was the one sitting in the cart eating a free cookie...lol

She was a babysitter and this was considered a field trip.

I have. And many, many years ago, my parents had the pleasure of shopping with me and my siblings. No excuses were ever made, grocery shopping was done. You misbehave, no chocolate bar at the check out line for you. But we can't give our kids chocolate today, all that sugar you know. Better to just dope them up with ritalin, plop them in the SUV and have the DVD running because kids are so hard to deal with [icon_lol2.gif]

Time management is yet another life skill that is being extinguished just like balancing a cheque book. At least the excuses are becoming more creative.

I don't know how we got through the 1950s. Back then if we ran out of milk, we had to wait until the cow came in got milked again.
I still remember our phone ring was 2 longs and a short.

I don't know how we got along without debit cards, the nearest grocery store was 4 miles away, and we only had 1 car that dad took to work. I don't know how we ever survived.

If all 4 of those kids were hers, she should have been in the contraception/planned parenthood isle. If all those kids were not hers, then it was her choice to be there.
The analogy just does not wash.

My mom as a single parent managed just fine with 2 of us, treated it like an adventure and tried to make it fun.

If a parent has more children than they can handle they need to learn another type of management.

hahaha..so you think all parents are doping up their kids and sitting them in front of a dvd player and using online shopping as an excuse for being lazy ??

now talk about creative excuses :)

people's time management is different for everyone..lots of people have to work long hrs or work shift work or work more than one job...

parents are just human beings not super heroes...you sometimes do things to make life easier and there's nothing wrong with that :)

(gotta love this forum where everyone thinks they know what's best for everyone else..lol)

It sure is.

My parents were those people who worked very long hours.

The thing is, they're trying to make it "easier" for themselves, so they can have more time for Netflix or whatever "downtime" they feel they need.

It's not knowing what's best for anyone else, it's a deterioration of basic life skills in favour of selfish wants.

Boo Hoo Hoo to the "parents" of today...……….too busy, too many kids, no time to grocery shop in their "oh so precious lives".

I see the spoiled everyday at the stores in the "Mission" area...………park your Bentley at the back of the lot.

To have a little more time in your busy lives try...….

1. You do not need 2 hours of "prep" time to go to the store, unless of course you are looking for someone to pay your bills.
2. Less time at your daily coffee shop with your friends.
3. Cut out or shorten your pilates class or gym time.
