And I couldn't even pick her up! I was so big and she is so heavy, that once I literally dragged her through the store to my husband and said "You take her!" I was even more angry at the rude looks people were giving me. Many times people act like the old saying "Children should be seen and not heard." I was about to attack one woman. How dare she when my hormones are high from pregnancy and I'm funing with anger at Gabi dare to gawk at me with that nasty look on her face. Deep breath. Okay, I'm over it now, really!

Sorry you had to experience that. I always feel bad for the parents of those kids in the store. We've been extremely lucky with Nate and have never had to deal with any tantrums to date (knock on wood) inside or outside, but I'm sure our days of that are coming to an end as Emma gets bigger. That girl has a strong personality & I can see her throwing fits to get her way, ugh. Anyways, Becca has had a lot to deal with lately, I'm glad you know how to handle things. It will get better :) Eeek! Sorry you had to experience that. I always feel bad for the parents of those kids in the store.

Olivia is a very, very strong personality .... We've had 2 public meltdowns in the last 4 days. It is never pretty! And I find them so difficult, at times. Usually over not getting her own way .... eg. wanting a ride on one of those slot rides they have which children are drawn to like magnets ... I have tried time out at the mall, but it often encourages the meltdown to get into full swing, so if I see it coming (there are very indignant, definite signs!!) I bust a move out of there. If I'm too late - I've had to push the boy in the buggy while carrying her under one arm! There are times when I've been impressed with my own will and strength. Carrying a screaming, kicking little girl whilst remaining stone-faced and calm out of the mall is some feat. I see others looking .... half sympathetic, some nodding, others with a "don't mess with that mum" look. Ahhhhh the joys of parenting. I love her soooooo much, but there are times when her behaviour can eat me up. But it's all part of her discovery and redefining her boundaries! :) Welcome to my world ……although from the sounds of it, you won’t be visiting it frequently!

It didn't happened often with my kids when they were little . . . maybe once or twice. But sometimes all you can do is pick up the kid and walk out of the store. I feel your pain, but tomorrow is a new day. Ah that is a hard one. It didn’t happened often with my kids when they were little . . . maybe once or twice.

And let me reassure, that although after the first they may indeed occur again, they haven't become habit around here. Hugs and hang in. Ah, James is also not one for public temper tantrums.
