I have friends who don't and it shows when we take a field trip together. Ugg! It makes me not want to be around them. ( the infamous Zoo experience.) Sorry to be mean. I know we all have bad days, but you can tell the difference between a bad day and something that occurs all the time. The only time I don't take the kids with me is when they are sick or I am shopping for Birthdays/Christmas. <br /> As for dance,Not sure what your schedule is like, but is there any way you can do an afternoon class. That's what we did with Lily.<br />It was tuesday @ 2:00 right after nap/quiet time, so both girls had plenty of rest and we were still able to get back home from dance with plenty of time to prepare dinner. Just a thought. Oh and as a rule I don't go anywhere on Mondays. It's my day to get caught up after our busy weekends, otherwise my whole week will feel like a monday ;)<br />You are a wonderful mom and you are doing great. It's a tough Job, but oh so rewarding and fun! <br /><br />Blessings,<br />MollyMolly Betsy @ Star Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861998890203926196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071975121558899968.post-49982850115206878012010-02-01T12:46:52.104-08:002010-02-01T12:46:52.104-08:00Steph....my goodness our lives are so similar it m...Steph....my goodness our lives are so similar it makes me chuckle. There is a unique dynamic with having all girls. My girls are head over heels for one another, but there are times when they need SPACE! Space from one another...space from me....space! As I write this Leah is napping, Mayah is having computer time, and Chiara is drawing. We really do not have nap time every day (rarely for the big girls now) but we have quiet and alone time. <br />Funny...I not only get the looks in the grocery store but one of my closest friends here always asks me if I took "ALL" of them with me.....of course, where would I leave them? I feel the same way you do-if I never give them opportunities to learn the way they 'should' behave they never will behave. We did go through a season with Mayah where I just could not take her many places. I hated it. She was out of control though and could only handle small doses.....and that is all I could handle too!<br />Ok, rambling on and on.....The D'Amato Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914473605897795090noreply@blogger.com
