Ok I am pretty sure you’ve seen your share of super market moms, and have seen the many different types of moms out there. From the multitasking soccer mom, the power suit-I have no time mom, the pajamas and have 6 kids mom, the single mom, the domineering mom, to the I really don’t give a damn mom. I don’t know about you but I have a habit of observing other people (in any public place really.) Has anyone seen those moms that have their purses placed in the child seat in the shopping cart then search through it, practically taking everything out and putting all back. Instead of closing it they leave all the pockets wide open and walk all the way to the opposite end of the aisle or a totally different aisle completely. Have you seen that? Why would anyone knowingly just leave their stuff wide open like that? What kind of sense does that make?

Here’s another one, you are walking around getting cereal or something and then you see a kid barreling down the aisle. Taking no regards to the people surrounding him. Then you look to see if you can find the child’s mother and she is no where to be found until you hear the little brat yell “mom! I want…(insert sugar filled crud here)” You turn and see the mother look at her kid like nothing has happened and he did not just display a giant lack of knowledge in regards to manners. Arggggg!!! That is so annoying your child could have gotten hurt, just showed to the world your lack of responsibility, and you have nothing to say about that?! Really? Are you serious?

Ooo! Ooo! Oooo! Here is my favorite! You are by the ice-cream and you hear “No!!!! I wannit!!!” Words merged together because of all the snot, tears, and anger coming from the child because he/or she could not get what they wanted! And all you here from the mother in a silent voice hardly audible above the child’s loud wailing “bobby…” (the imaginary child shall be called bobby…it was the most common name that came to my head at the time.) “…please bobby. No you can’t have that, you already have seven ( or some such large number.) at home.” The child starts stomping, shaking yelling as loud as they can. “NO!!! Shuddup! I want it Now!!!” I can’t really understand how a parent can let their child’s upbringing go so awry that you let your child walk all over you.

I feel better now, that is my most annoying point during my supermarket trips. Please parents out there control your kids…for their sakes and the supermarket patrons sanity.
