Streets of madness

These last days I was obliged to go to the city centre as I had to see the doctor for my backaches that are getting worse and I had to do some tests. The point is that it has been a whole adventure to walk over the city centre of our province as the children’s days is coming. Everybody seems to be irritated. You are calmly walking over there and you are pushed by the crowd. They are desperately looking for the right present for their children, and most of them are also looking for low prices but good quality. They queue (almost for hours!) to get their presents.
Something I could notice is that the majority of these parents take their children with them (perhaps to make them choose what they want), and I found myself with many little children crying or making a mess because they were not bought the presents they had previously chosen. I also saw lots of parents telling off their kids for their misbehaviour.
So my question is, why do they take their children with them?. They reproach their kids for their misbehaviour, but of course they will misbehave. They are kids! and they are surrounded by thousands of the best toys so their behaviour is understandable. Of course they are gonna cry, they want everything they see. How can you make a child understand that he or she can choose only one present?. They don’t understand anything related to inflation or low salaries. They just want their presents for their day. That’s all. So parents, please, next year don’t take your children to buy their presents!
