Thinking outside the box - Diane Kingsley

Recently I picked up my children and their friends at SilverCity and stopped to buy my daughter an Mp3 player at Costco. But I was denied access into the store because I had too many children with me.
Recently I picked up my children and their friends at SilverCity and stopped to buy my daughter an Mp3 player at Costco. But I was denied access into the store because I had too many children with me.

I was told there was a store policy regarding the number of children who could accompany me into the store.

I'm insulted that my parenting skills and ability to control my children and their friends were being questioned. Was I expected to leave these children behind while I shopped around the store with only three of them? Some of them may not have been my children, but they were all my responsibility.

I've learnt my lesson. I'm leaving the box, and going back to the mall.
