Parenting Fail While Grocery Shopping
by Mama Fox
This one isn't as bad as the the parents trying to give the tigers a snack or Segway Mom, but it still makes you wonder...
Why didn't you get a cart? Or at least one of those baskets to carry?

Way to go Dad!

Oh. My. My eyes widened when I took in this shot. *Sheesh*... isn't that considered some kind of child abuse, or something? Oi.

My mother once accidentally tipped the grocery cart, with my brother and I inside.

There has to be some sort of story behind this.... sometimes kids ask obscure things, like "I want to carry all the food" so some obnoxious parent will let them, and go that far so the kid decides they don't really like that.....

I let my 7 month old go around with me without shoes or socks (because she pulls them off), but this kid looks old enough to walk herself. So I don't get why she couldn't wear shoes and walk, or at least set in a cart while dad gets stuff, instead of piling it all on her. What a moron!!

Haha, at first I didn't even notice the kid because he or she is covered in groceries!

Oh... my god.... this is.... just wow. I mean, it would be nice to let the kid HOLD something... but to place it all over them... jeez.

That looks like an older kid posing... really faked...
I personally thought the parenting fail at the grocery store would be the child screaming and throwing a fit in the middle of isle 9.

And again I wonder just how "real" these pictures are. But still... should have gotten a cart... or at least a stroller with a storage basket underneath

I think the kid enjoys it. :D I would have! It'd be one of those silly things.

I'll just assume that's a male child in training for the day he gets similarly loaded down at the mall. ^_^

@echois23@xanga - that's the first thing i noticed!
i mean, giving the kid a box to hold or something is one thing. when i grocery shop my son will usually hold onto something like a box of cheerios, but it's more so to keep him kind of entertained while we shop.
but i always keep raw meat away from his reach!
my main complaint for this picture is the raw meat. besides that i don't think it's a huge deal because the kid appears to be older (kind of surprised he'd be in a stroller in the first place. perhaps they don't want his bare feet walking around the grocery store?)
but ew about the raw meat with the kid. that's really all i can think of lol
