[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this such a thing for people? [b]Who cares if someone puts their 6 year old in a stroller?[b] It affects you in no way whatsoever.[/b] Maybe that kid has issues that make that a good solution for the family. Or maybe they are just over accommodating of their kids. I don't know. It's irrelevant to me. My own kid is three and regularly refuses to get in the stroller even if its raining and we're in a hurry, so far be it from me to decide for some other family what the right think is to do.

You are wrong.   Sometimes it DOES affect others.   Double strollers take up tons of room and sometimes someone is walking in front of me with gigantic stroller and I can't get past because they are literally taking up the  entire path.   So when your 364 week old child is just too precious to put their feet on the ground and hold me up from where I need to go, I care![/quote]

If you knew that 6 year old had a developmental delay or was special needs, would that change your mind? If you knew that family didn't have a car and that 6 year old was commuting to a school far from his home because his IB was terrible, would that change your mind? If you knew that the day you saw the 6 year old in the stroller was an anomaly, because it was the day his younger sibling was born or the day his grandpa died, would that change your mind?

Sorry, I don't think having to wait behind someone with a stroller is a big deal. There are lots of different kinds of people in the world moving lots of different speeds. It's okay to slow down a little to accommodate a child (or an elderly person, or a person in a wheelchair, or a person just having a really terrible day). Who cares if you get to your destination 5 minutes later because of a stroller on the sidewalk? It does not matter.[/quote]
