[quote=Anonymous]I often have to take my two and four year old to the store with me and I shop for the entire week in one trip.  Thus, the trip takes a while.  I often let my children eat something more to occpy them (the two year old in particular) than because they are starving...like blueberries from a priced by the unit pint or cut up watermelon from the same type of package.  This kind of started at Whole Foods....they would often want to keep eating the samples.  Instead of getting them more and more samples or telling them they couldn't eat more fruit I would just decide to buy the fruit and let them eat some of it while we shop.  I just have a hard time understanding why this is anyone else's business.  If it is mess you are worried about...well if I brought a snack from home, or paid for the blueberries first we would still make the same mess (if there is one).

So really, this is on one else's business but mine and the store's.  This is like policing your coworkers.  MYOB!  Worry about yourself.  Go about your day and do what you think is right instead of tsk tsking the mom with two sub-five year olds letting the two year old munch on a few blueberries.  If the store has an issue with it then they will say something to me and no one ever has.  The four year old now helps me with shopping, picking out fruit herself and weighing it etc so she does not eat much in the store anymore other than a sample here or there.      [/quote]
