Celebrate with me: I took my 4 kids to the store! - Page 2

You're my hero. Grocery shopping with my two kids feels like a major ordeal every single week.

Oh yes, the good old days.... Congrats on making it though a big trip.

I take my four kids everywhere with me... but I just hate taking them grocery shopping- I leave them home whenever possible

i actually saw a study once that showed that humans were more biologically hard wired (of course there are exceptions to every rule blah blah blah standard disclaimer) to do better at social, group activities in the morning and more solitude independent activities in the afternoon. So their advice was schedule appointments, run errands, have meetings etc in the morning and do your independent desk work etc in the afternoon (this was geared towards the business place). Anyway i thought it was interested and I always recommend if people have serious interaction to do with their children, have to take them out in public or are putting them n classes to shoot for the morning.
