How well do you fair taking the kids out all my yourself? Where do you go with all of them?

I have a 5 month old a 2 year old and 4 year old all girls btw.  I don't like to go places all by myself with all of them. I do but hate it! Dh is so good to me and will do the grocery shopping.   I teach gymnastic classes for kids so they come with me a lot of the time.  I have to have some one watch the baby though its really tough to do class and watch her. My 2 year old is well a crazy 2 year old. I end up wanting to shoot myself by the time we get home.

I have 3 kids and have no choice but to take them all with me. They are very well behaved though so I have no issues. We like going to the movies, out to lunch, shopping, museums, zoo, etc.

I have a nb, 22 month old, and 5 year old. Oldest is a boy the other 2 r girls. For fathers day I tried taking them all to the store by myself to get dh something. When I got to the store it took me 20 minutes to get them out of the van and into the Ergo and cart. I only needed 5 things that were in 3 isles. I was there over an hour! By the time I got to the checkout I wanted to just sit on the floor and cry like the middle one was doing! It was a nightmare. Never again.

I have 3 kids. 5,2 and 4 months and I have taken them out by myself a few times. Grocery shopping is a pain though if I have to take them all with me. My husband is in the Navy so I do a lot by myself anyways.

Congrats on your new baby! I miss my baby being that small already! She was born on the 23 of January. It was easier when she just slept all the time!

I have 4 total. They are 17, 15, 8, & 5. The oldest are sometimes more work than the youngest! Lol I can make it in & out of stores MUCH faster without them but they're pretty well behaved. It's just time. I can get all my errands done pretty fast alone instead of practically all day with the kids!

My kids are 6, 8 and 10 now so I don't have any issues. When my youngest was born I just took it one day at a time lol, my ex turned to be an asshole 24/7, so I got used to be by myself with the kids all the time. By the time my youngest was a month old I got a baby carrier and I would go out with them on the bus. Crazy, I know lol.
