I was talking to a friend yesterday who told me about her friend who has a couple kids. Apparently, the friend's friend has *never* taken her children (8 and 6) to the grocery store. She either hires a babysitter to watch the kids or has her husband watch them so that she doesn't have to take them.
For me, I do not mind taking my kids to Harris Teeter or some other Wilmington stores. (Okay, Learning Express toy store is big struggle to get them out without a scene.) But each time I take them to Tidal Creek Co-Op, Mac runs to the "cupcakes" (the yummy muffins by the drinks and hot food area). I end up buying at least one of those muffins or battling them in the bulk foods section or they run off to where the do-it-yourself maple syrup. (Errant luscious syrup drips, don't you know.)
Is there some place in town you do not mind taking your kids? Is there some place you wished you could have a babysitter standing by to handle your kids and keep them occupied?
