momincharge I think it is natural for people to make assumptions about others based on appearance or other characteristics. Anyone who denies doing so is likely lying. Most people do not necessarily act upon their judgements but they have made them. Our brains make...

momincharge Not always. It really depends on the age my kids are at the time and how far from home we will be. If I'm just running to the store then, no I don't. If we're going to be gone all day and doing something may be messing then yes.
