Today I was running errands and getting groceries. Along with me were my boys. This was the first time I did all of the shopping with them by myself, and I would like to think that I did pretty well with my juggling.
I don't know why people feel the need, but if they see a person with two youngsters they need to make a comment. The favorite seems to be, "oh, you have your hands full!" Now, as I've said before, I can appreciate a direct person...but this comment repeated no less than 4 times, from 4 different people, tried my patience.
Our oldest does listen very well...and no I'm not just saying that, others who have watched him have said the same thing. Yes, he is a normal child, and has his moments of misbehavior, but these are usually shortlived. And since our youngest is so tiny, he's really not much work either...and his big brother LOVES him! He tries to share toys and Binkies with him! How many 17 month olds do you know who do that on their own?
I wish these people would look at my "situation" the way that I do. I've been given two gifts; yes, they were closer together than most would like, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I remember telling my husband the day after our youngest was born that it felt like he has always been here....and I would like to think that most moms feel that way.
