Why do parents etc take kids shopping and to church when they know they are going to create mayhem! Kids hate shopping unless it is for them and as for church if you have no one to look after them don't go, God will forgive you!

I agree that other people's children are always badly behaved - but we have no option but to put up with them. Husbands are taken when shopping so that they can pay or carry the heavy bags.
However I never understand why anybody would take their dog shopping with them - the dog isn't going to become a delinquent because it was not taken out on family outings to the town centre.

I think we are on the same wavelength Karen - I don't particularly enjoy it when parents don't suitably discipline their children when they are out, but I don't think that means that all children should be kept at home until they are 18 and deemed fit to inflict on society. I kind of agree with the shopping bit, but as people have said, it's not always avoidable, it 's the church bit that gets me puzzled. I don't live anywhere near family and I try to do my shopping in the evening when their dad is home to look after them, but not everyone has that option.
It's not so much taking them, it's bringing the children up NOT to create mayhem. I cannot understand parents who let their children chase all around the supermarket, I know other families whose children are perfectly happy to go shopping, but it's not a playground, and parents should - please - keep their kids under control, they need to understand where food comes from and that it has to be paid for. Church is a place for kids if you believe in church but again, it's about learning appropriate behaviour.
There are so few families with family support all around them, having a sitter etc is just not feasible or affordable these days, and in any case, shopping and worship should be family affairs. As for going to football - men eat the food, why shouldn't they help buy it?
