[quote=Anonymous]As a mom of 3 young ones myself, I am more than aware of how annoying my kids can be in public. Moms of littles are usually not oblivious to the ruckus our kids may cause. I always feel bad when my kids are disturbing the environment or others. I try very hard to prevent that (being prepared w/snacks, activities, having talks with them before we get wherever we're going, etc), but sometimes, toddlers and babies just don't cooperate. It's the nature of their age.

However, like a PP mentioned, perhaps she didn't have any choice but to bring them. I've been there. My husband is quite ill right now with a pretty serious illness, making it near impossible to leave my kids with others unless I'm paying them (which sometimes I do). Just doing average day-to-day things can be that much more challenging, so often times, there's no choice but to cart everyone around just to get the basics done. Maybe ask if she could use a hand, perhaps offer a snack if you have extras? Just a thought...I'm in that situation now and sometimes its just plain overwhelming and hard.[/quote]
