I have parents like this too! I am competely amazed at some of the things that they do.
I am sure the 18mo would have been 'too much work' to take along to the zoo.
I grew up with a SHAM and nearly every women I know is a SAHM. I am blow away but the things parents think they can not do with their children with them.
I have child that is 4yrs 11mo and he has NEVER been on a shopping trip or to a store of anykind!!!!!!!
