I never quite understood that... we all value children and what they mean to this world, but I don't believe that having children makes ones life any more important that someone who doesn't have children.

Why is my time less important than someone who has children? Why am I expected to move out of the way? Yeah - it's probably easier, and typically, I will make the effort to move - but don't EXPECT me to do so.

To the topic at hand... I agree with a number of posters who say that dragging a stroller AND a shopping cart is too tough... but unless there is a baby strapped to the stroller or mother... get a cart. To the father who takes the baby when it is fussing, but leaves the mother with the cart... good on ya... but why? Why not take the stroller as well, and let mom shop with a cart?

And I won't even start on unsupervised kids in shopping malls, restaraunts, and other public places. You have 'em, YOU deal with them.
