I was both delighted and sobered when our daughter told us - as a college sophomore, when she moved into an apartment with roommates -- that she was the only one of her housemates who had EVER been to the grocery store, and had any idea how to shop...


I've always wondered when I see adults, not with their teenage children in grocery stores. Pretty shocking, Anne. That's one of the things how I did learn about grocery shopping..was following my mother around, bored most of the time. I had to help her carry groceries, etc.


When we were young teens we did point out grocery specials in the newspaper for our mother.
