  Exactly. And depending on the kids, you could also make it a small, fun activity for them: help daddy/mommy/whatever you have your kids call you bring the cart to where it should be. It’d be no different from having the kids put their toys away, but just with something that may be beyond their strength, but you’re an adult, so just pull the cart from the side enough to help the kids move the cart and steer it to avoid hitting stuff.

  If the kids are tired, have em just walk like 30s more? If you can’t even do that and your kid starts throwing a tantrum, then you have other problems with the kid and so you deal with it like you’re supposed to anyways. The kid isn’t going to just turn responsible without the parent doing something after all.

  TIL this exists

  But I must say… “can’t leave a child unattended” is such an ass reason. Like, just bring the kids along? It’s good education for the kids too. If they’re a baby, well there are ways to carry a baby without using your hands. If you don’t have one, then fine, but I also tells me that you have no one to rely on to take care of a baby for an hour or even two when you need it, and it makes me wonder what your relationship is with those around you.

  I’ll assume you are asking in good faith / out of innocence, because this isn’t a question that typically needs to be asked if you’ve lived with any group of people for some time.

  Let’s put laws aside for now, cause they can make this explanation more complicated than it needs to be.

  Suppose you like jumping off cliffs for fun, and you’ve been skillful enough to not fall to your death. You jump off, feel the thrill, and you land safely — nothing bad happens. All is good.

  One windy day, branches were flying around, and it was dark out. You wanted to jump anyway because, well, why not?

  You jump.

  A branch hit your face and scraped near your eye. You winced. And because you couldn’t see well enough, you couldn’t land like you always would. You didn’t die, but you certainly got hurt, bad.

  So you thought to yourself after that incident: maybe I shouldn’t jump when it’s windy and dark out, or maybe I’ll wear eye protection when I jump.

  You’ll tell others not to do the same. Not everyone listens to you, because they thought, well, maybe you just weren’t “careful enough”. Maybe you don’t care enough if they would believe or listen to you. But some people that you do care, say, your kids, also don’t seem to listen to you. Despite your warnings, they’d still sneak out at night, on windy days, to go jump off the cliff for fun.

  So what would you do?
