I went to Home Depot store looking for some (admittedly kinda weird) hardware and after browsing around for a while the store associate told me to buy it on Amazon.
This is the same thing people say to those who shop at Walmart - it’s not always a choice. Amazon has run out digital and brick and mortar shops alike. Sometimes someone needs something in 2-4 days and there is literally no other way to get it. I know as a parent I try my best but when you have screaming toddlers and no sleep, yeah, I’m just going to buy that third replacement sippy cup off Amazon sometimes lol

Oh god. You’re one of those people who act like raising kids wasn’t possible without all the modern luxuries. You’d have failed as a parent 30 years ago.

Because they are just being nasty on the internet, sadly.

Because the idea that kids are so difficult to raise without next day delivery is a pathetic thing to imply.
That is all.

Every parent ever has taken the speedy route in a pinch. I think he might be extrapolating a tiny bit too much about my capability as a parent but I’m also not going to take such obvious bait lol

Every parent ever has taken the speedy route in a pinch. I think you might be extrapolating a tiny bit too much about my capability as a parent but you’re obviously trying to get me to rage over it lol I’m far from parent of the year and I think my ego can handle that. So I’ll pass on the rage bait, but here’s a fun exercise for your own personal edification:
Go ask your parents if they cared about the environment or chose the easy route and did disposable diapers. After all, people went thousands of years without them and they’re just a recent invention filling landfills.
Surely you would use cloth diapers if you ever had a child because everyone did it prior and they’re so terrible for landfills/cloth diapers are by far the more sustainable and budget-friendly option, right? Is that a fair assessment?

Yeah, I try to buy stuff from brick and mortar stores. I figure that even if it’s a big box store at least there are actual employees who work there who live in my area.
But I can’t even find the kind of underwear I like at any physical store near me. Even online, Amazon seems to be the only place that stocks it.
The same goes for the style of light jacket that I prefer. I’ve spent months looking everywhere, and the only place I found even an approximation of what I want is Amazon.
I’ve noticed that even in big box stores nowadays the selection is pretty limited. You see a wall of racks full of the same item.
