I find this behavior from parents very condescending - "You don't have children therefore your argument is invalid". Parenting isn't that hard - I have 2 kids (8 and 5 years age) and we're just doing fine. Just like 7 billion other people on this planet whose parents went through the same. Of all the hard things I've done in my 42 years of life, raising kids doesn't rank in the top 10.

  Survivorship Bias? /s :) I have 3 kids around the same ages. I wouldn't say they're the hardest thing in life but they're often a very difficult variable to manage along with life's other challenges. They have this compounding effect...

I'm not saying dealing with the kids is at all easy. But the kids are there either way. So I think you have my argument exactly backwards. I'm not saying something is easy. I think kids plus carried bags sounds completely overwhelming. If you want to say I'm wrong, you're making the argument that kids plus carried bags is easier than I think. So please, elaborate on how that's easier than a cart.

  You're basically saying "I cannot, in any way, imagine a situation where the parent's story is the sensible choice, and therefore I'm entitled to make a pedantic comment about a situation I wasn't in". Instead, you should give them the benefit of the doubt.

    I didn't say it was wrong. I said a cart should make it easier. I'm legitimately confused by their partial explanation, not being pedantic. It's fair to want clarification about why a cart doesn't solve this. Maybe there are no carts at this store for some awful reason. Maybe the story was so focused on how this type of key solved their problem that they didn't give a fair shake to other possible solutions. More information is needed. There are multiple ways I can/do give benefit of the doubt, but doing so doesn't make the situation any clearer.
