Okay, I'm a mom of two and I raise my kids the best I can. I make choices that some others may not, and I keep my opinions of how others raise their kids to myself.
Home Depot man, this is for you.
I see those signs. I know what they say and even why you have them. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, ever. Especially my own kids.
I enjoy home depot on occasion, depending on what we are going for. I think it's great that they have racecar carts and my kids really like them. On occasion we are buying wood and need a big barred cart to haul the wood around the store, you know the ones, right?
I am a capable person. I know how to watch my kids, while some others in your store may not, although I do wonder if when we walk in the doors someone pushes a button that makes that recording about watching your kids come over the loud speaker...anyhoo.
I read the words on your big rolly carts for wood and big items and I know that they say, DO NOT RIDE. But I am a mom, as I have already mentioned who knows how to raise my kids. I wouldn't allow them to sit on the bars and do tricks while the cart was rolling. And I wouldn't let them hang over the side while wheels roll over their fingers. I know that my son took about 85 different bolts out of boxes and I just put them on the top shelf for someone else to put away, but woudn't you rather they end up in the right box?
So here's the thing. When you see me, looking tired and not caring that I have read the words and still allow my kids to ride on the big cart on our way out the door.
Please good sir, don't ask if we can have the kids get off the cart so no one gets hurt.
I am their mother, and I will take the blame if something horrible like falling and crying happens. We will not sue your establishment if my child bumps his or her head on the huge bars that they are sitting under, for, as I have already mentioned, I read the signs and I made my choice. I don't like living by yours.
