[quote=Anonymous]I don't run personal errands right now because I am only working part time and don't really drive the kids anywhere outside of activities (working in a rural area), but I fully plan to run a few errands when I am working full time in a city next year. My reasoning is that I'll be working from 6:30 AM until late evenings every single day. That means everything will be closed before I go to work and after I leave with the exception of grocery stores. I don't plan on buying groceries because I would only be able to purchase things that wouldn't need to be kept cool.

I think it's important for children to be exposed to these normal, "boring" kind of trips that are a part of everyday life. I don't think it's healthy for a child to think that each time they get into a car it is to go on some fun adventure. It's a great learning experience for children to learn how to behave in grocery stores, at banks, etc. when adults can't have their full attention on the child. I think you are doing a huge disservice to your child if you basically hire someone to be on top of them like a hawk giving them their undivided attention for 50 hours a week.[/quote]
