Like LH, I can't really see the horror of a child barefoot. When I think of the 'shoes' J has on most of the time- crocs, that rubber sole is absolutely no barrier for glass, metal, etc. I see opened toed flip flops (which kill me to wear), and I imagine any caustic liquid would be flapped up over them without any issue. I see water type shoes, moccasins, etc. No shoes? No big deal, to me.
What I also thought of when I read the OP was the children that have various disorders, which make shoe wearing, along with lots of other types of constrictive clothing, dern near impossible. Maybe the child had swollen feet, or had had on new shoes and there were blisters and wearing any shoe was not going to happen any more that day.
There are so many things that it could be other than lazy, inconsequential parents.
Though it doesn't happen now, at 6, I had taken J into the store in his jammies on more than one occasion. I will never forget the jammies with rain boots at HD, and running into a client! Know what the client said??? "Trust me, it isn't bad until it involves a mask". LOL, apparently as the father of two younger children himself, he had been there.
Much ado about nothing.
