[QUOTE="keista, post: 465880, member: 11965"] Guilty as charged, but only for the crying part, not the neglecting part. DD1 was a crier and a screamer. We'd be shopping, and out of nowhere she'd start screaming. Generally she'd be in the basket so I'd up my conversation with her, pull out a toy or a snack, but she just wouldn't stop. Being almost done with the grocery shopping, just leaving was NOT an option. So I'd continue while doing my best to calm her down. After the 3rd such episode, I made sure I did the shopping AFTER husband got home so I didn't have to take her with me. She was under 2 at the time. It was at least two years before I took her shopping with me again. (crazy when your "respite time" is grocery shopping and you appreciate it!) [/QUOTE]
