Would you bring a child to a job interview? No? Then don't bring it to fill out the application.
The Wal-Mart has a computerized hiring center. It is the usual "work history" type thing PLUS an 80-question test that wants to know how likely you are to steal by asking you sneaky questions. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour. For some reason, parents think it is OK to bring their children while they fill out the application.
Whole families sometimes make it an outing. I've seen three generations. It's another added feature of Wal-Mart. Shopping. Banking. Hair Styling. Photo Studio. Nail Salon. Boring Typing!
No child can remain quiet for an hour. Especially not an infant. Not in a busy retail environment. They howl and scream and throw things and cause the parent to go "SHUSH." Really, that don't work.

I love this blog and hope you keep it up! What don't parents understand about being able to keep their child quietly occupied for an hour. Now, all children will be noisy at some point, but do more than SHUSH!
Obviously that first post is by a childless person.
Hmm. You know what? They can't sit still and quiet that long in a library either while Mom messes around on MySpace. Can't. As in, physically can't. Little bodies just not made for it.
lol @ mom messing around on myspace
one of my friends had two young screamers. they were horrid children that no one wanted to be around. i disliked these kids greatly because of how she acted around them. get her away from the kids and she's fun, interesting, intelligent, etc. get her w/ her kids and it's like her iq dropped 100 pts. after a while - she started plopping her kids down to watch tv while she got online at first thing in the morning and then get upset if/when they interrupted her time w/ her "men" online. I finally stopped talking to her at all because i just couldn't tolerate her ineffective and completely absent parenting.
one of these days we're going to see those kids on cops. the girl will be getting hauled in for prostitution and the boy will be a wife beating druggie.
