Working mothers would love to shop online for what their babies need. My best friend's baby has just started to crawl. Now baby Louisa is mobile. My friend must quickly baby-proof her apartment or forget about writing another word until Louisa starts kindergarten. So she turned to the Internet.
Online shopping is a working mom's fantasy.
It seems like such a great idea that we keep going back to it. Shop at home. But so often, it doesn't work out that way. My friend ordered a baby gate online, and an e-mail message promised delivery in three days. Six days later, she's still waiting.
