Barefoot child at Wal-Mart

[Lady's Human]

I can't believe any parent would let a child go barefoot in stores and parking lots. Some people don't deserve kids period.

I wouldn't like to see a little kid going barefoot in a store or in a
store parking lot. Not a good idea at all, for all the reasons you've
already mentioned. As a parent it's our job to make decisions for our
kids. Barefoot at home is one thing, outside the safety of home, is
quite another.

I swear I don't know where parent's minds are these days. Unbelievable!!!

No one claimed any such thing. I believe you're just being argumentative.
It isn't allways easy to be the parent & make informed decisions for your
children, but hey, it is our JOB & our responsibilty.

And yes - I successfully raised 2 children to adulthood, in spite of all the household perils, and those away from the home too. Just part of responsible parenting, I guess.

Don't be sorry, you were right all along. This isn't just an appearances
type of thing, it is a safety issue. If other parents don't see that, then so
be it.

I do not think there is any excuse for this type of neglect. If there was a reason she could not wear shoes they should have made her ride in a cart. I would never ever have let either of my kids go barefoot in public, even at the beach we made them wear sandals until we got our towels and blankets set up.

Parents are just letting their kids run things these days. Bad parenting...

Nah, don't see how this thread got confrontational at all.......
