I didn’t used to fee this way. Or rather, I kind of did, but didn’t really /care/.

Then I had a kid, and the question of “do I trust this thing to go into or onto my kid’s body?” actually mattered.

Suddenly, my purchases from amazon drop like a rock. Partly for classes of item I don’t trust getting from them, and partly because I’m just getting habituated to shopping at different outlets.

Moreover, this has become a “known thing” in the online mommy groups in our area. My wife has told me she’s heard exactly the same thing on her fb and mailing lists; increasingly, “don’t buy amazon” is a given for conscientious parents.

I’m spending a lot of money on this tiny human, Amazon, and none of it is going to you.
