Saw a nanny with her charge at Victoria's Secret. The little girl was two and had blonde hair, was wearing yellow shirt with a cartoon girl on it and black pants with fancy black patent shoes. She had a sippy cup and a padded, cardboard book. Overheard her English nanny saying "thank you for being so great". Obviously nannies can work long hours and may need to run errands during the day but this nanny had it together. As she sifted through nightgowns the Nanny was directing the child to the ABC song or asking her to read the book to her. She was in the store less than ten minutes. Anyway, this made me think of the Daffy's post. If you are going to take your child or charge in a store, this nanny set an example for how to do it. I don't think the child even realized she was on an errand.

I can dig that. I see parents and nannies both bring kids in to the store and take forever and scream at the kids for crying. Bring some damn cheerios already! shout out to English nannies!
This gets my vote too! Just like those mom's who bring their children on the plane and have them packed full of activities to keep them occupied. I LOATHE mother's who have their children trolling the aisles of the plane.
Well, there's only so much activities while seated that will keep a 2 year old happily occupied on a 13 hour nonstop international flight. I hear you but I've had to fly to the UK and back 3 times when child was under 1 year to when he was 2 and when they get to that age it's not easy no matter how you do it!
YOU'RE CALLING VICTORIAS SECRET A FREAKIN ERRAND - SAVE YOUR SHOPPING FOR THE INTERNET, FOOL - WHAT HAS SOCIETY COME TO - IF YOU THINK VICTORIA SECRET IS AN APPROPRIATE ERRAND THEN SO IS THE CRACK DEN ON EAST TREMONT , TO EACH HER OWN AT THAT POINT
WHO THE CRAP SHOULD BE READING TO WHOM HERE? GIVE ME A BREAK! "KEEP READING HONEY WHILE I TAKE JUST ONE MORE HIT OF THIS CRACK PIPE. AFTER THAT YOU CAN START TEACHING YOUR BROTHER TO READ"
