[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks to all the moms who commiserated and gave advice - so incredibly helpful and wonderful to feel like i'm in good company. to the posters who say i shouldn't take DD to restaurants; in my opinion, that's one venue in which kids can be taught how to behave. 80% of the time we make it through entire meals at nicer places than chicken out without so much as a hitch, and 20% of the time, something happens... my point was not to say that this is a chronic problem at restaurants, but to point out an incident at a restaurant that got me wound up (and DH was helping and working on not throwing with DD; i just got so pissed that i had to intervene - i know, not helpful - next time, i will go to the bathroom)

And to the poster who says she has no sympathy b/c i have help, well, since you know nothing about me, [b]you don't know that i am in very demanding male-dominated field and i'm doing really, really, really well. well enough that i can take one day off every week and still maintain my full-time status and well enough that i can leave work WHENEVER i want.[/b] i have a part-time nanny to cover the hours i work, and grandparents to take over the occasional day that work spills over past nap time, and a lady who comes and cooks once every couple of weeks so that when i get home, at 3 or 2 or 4, my time belongs to my DD.

and PP, you also don't know what my husband's financial situation is: would you have more sympathy if you found out he was working a job he loved with little pay? Or less sympathy if you found out he was a partner at a major law firm? or more sympathy if he was laid off recently and deeply depressed?

since you don't - and can't - know who i am, maybe you should focus on seeing if you can provide useful advice for the problem at hand - a third-trimester pregnant lady who's big and fat and slow and tired and can't keep up with her toddler and its making her mad.

that might have been helpful.[/quote]

NP here.  None of us know anything about you.  But now I do think that you're kind of smug and self-promotional.  How is this even relevant to what we're talking about?  You have a part-time nanny and you work part-time.  Who cares about the rest.[/quote]
