And it is NOT fun! Those are the times when you really don't appreciate the sweet advice older women give about missing these days. I'm pretty sure they aren't talking about THOSE days! But, then again, we'll probably forget them and tell young moms what a joyful experience we had raising our kids too. ;)Sharlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00689347018989803414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188535307057189356.post-32498371156529054912009-06-19T16:07:12.440-06:002009-06-19T16:07:12.440-06:00Ohh how I have had one of those before too. The most recent being when we were leaving the zoo from JoySchool graduation. I hate days like that. Funny thing is I was just thinking about this and how they are all phases. I think Jillian is finally out of her screaming phase, but I am sure there will be a new 3 year old phase real soon!

I warned my SIL once that if you judge - it WILL come back and hit you in the face. Now I tease her for judging too many other people's parenting skills with her... trials. :)Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06636806577341616051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188535307057189356.post-81348152426491749392009-06-19T10:13:05.942-06:002009-06-19T10:13:05.942-06:00I think it may take a little time before you look back and smile at that one:) I always wonder after these experiences why I even take them anywhere! Usually we have these moments when we are doing something fun for them. If only they realized that if they were good we would do it more often. Rob thinks I am so lucky to get to play with the kids and take them fun places---I dread those activities because I know it is going to be extra work and stress for me. Plus why do seemingly angelic kids turn into beasts while in public? The photographer the other day looked like she was going to cry because all 3 of them thought they were so funny and were everywhere. We gave up on a group pic---all I wanted was one smile from all 3 for 2 seconds... I usually just smile at other moms and hope they know we all go through it:)The older ones always say "you are going to miss it"...Tiffaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122445033931675966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188535307057189356.post-60350159961121045382009-06-18T16:41:05.645-06:002009-06-18T16:41:05.645-06:00Ohh, I could tell you story after story similar to the one you just told. Here's just one, that you haven't heard. I went to the post office a few weeks ago, put the kids in the stroller so they wouldn't run around and open and close (slam) all the locker/mail boxes (which they usually do). So, I am in line, trying to get everything together, cade is pulling ambrees hair (and really messing it up) Of course she is screaming because of it, he is laughing. They both have their shoes off and are throwing them at people in line, Cade then proceeds to grab ambree around the neck, while I am trying to talk to the guy at the counter and deal with them and everyone is staring. Anyway, I was soooo mad when we finally got out in the car and we all left in tears! I feel your pain, and yes, I do dicipline all the time too!! :/Trendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06481812024626034399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188535307057189356.post-38384463669056156912009-06-18T15:30:03.037-06:002009-06-18T15:30:03.037-06:00I am so sorry Di! I am just glad I only have one of those right now. I know what you mean...they flip a switch and you would swear you either beat them or never discipline them. Feel your pain...Jon, Amber, Caleb, and Skylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03456910454731795703noreply@blogger.com
