I went shopping this morning and was reminded again of one of my pet hates - mothers who allow their children to run around a supermarket - worse still - allows the baby to crawl around the floor  in the supermarket, as I once was witness to!  I had 3 small children too once, and I understand how difficult it is to do the shopping with the children in tow, but do keep them under control!  When you are out shopping the last thing you are looking out for is children running - let alone crawling, around.  Shoppers are rightfully preoccupied with getting the best bargains or getting what they want off the shelves when the supermarket has moved everything around - again, and pay little attention to what is directly in front of them.  Often the trolley is full and you physically cannot see what is directily in front of the trolley.  Please! Please put the little ones into the seats and try and keep older ones holding onto the trolley - not just for the shoppers' sake, but for the safety of your children.  (I'll now put my soap box away again!)
