[quote=Anonymous]This is the OP - for those of you who keep saying I'm Lazy because I have my child do my errand - I did not order anything for myself. DD wanted munchies and we decided together she would be able to go in and grab them. I didn't have a problem going in but we discussed and we were ready for her to go it alone. We have been together multiple times to this Starbucks - we have even gone in many times to just grab a mobile order so she knew exactly what to do. I wouldn't send her in to get take out as there is more involved there and she isn't ready for that yet. But yes, once we practice that, she will give that a try as well! For the pp who said the child would feel abandoned or pushed or whatever, that's ridiculous. DD and I have a solid relationship and she knows she can rely on me. But I am also teaching her to be strong, street smart and independent. [/quote]
