Maybe it's because I grew up outside of New York, and things just move slower up here in the country...but I am thinking we need to pass legislation for Mommy Rights. There should be a law saying that mommies with crying sleepy babies can run stoplights. We should have the right of way and be allowed to cut in line at the checkout. Or how about drop off childcare like IKEA has? I think we should have special parking. Not necessarily next to the front of the store like Handicapped parking, but perhaps near the place you are supposed to put your shopping carts in the parking lot?
Oh and about shopping carts, those little kids ones, cute as they are, only cause one thing. Trouble. Many of you must feel like I do about the grocery store. It is a deplorable place to go with small children. It is not fun on the best of days. It is not fun to try and keep your toddler from running that little cart into the wine shelves
when you have a baby strapped to you and a 5 year old begging for everything she sees. Sometimes I have to make two trips. Last night we sat and ate dinner at their cafe. It took 70 minutes, 3 trips to the bathroom, and 2 changes of clothing.
OK I am done ranting, I just feel like other mommies need to know that they are not alone.
Also, I would like a good comeback for those strangers who think I am not enjoying my life right now. Friends don't ask me if I have heard about birth control..just strangers. These people also like to make comments like "my aren't you busy?" or "You certainly have your hands full!' "What do you do in your spare time?" (as they laugh at their funny joke.)
Anyone have any ideas?
