Do I sound pathetic...

I seriously have loathed leaving the house recently with DD. She is throwing fits wherever we go.  I feel like such a home body now I limit my outings to one per week because I am tired of dealing with it, and frankly just don't have the energy with being pregant as well. Sometimes I feel like such a crappy mom.

    Its not pathetic. I went on a playdate today and both other moms had to deal with serious melt downs. That can really wear on you.

    Absolutely not!  This time of year I hate leaving the house with the kids.  The bundling, the boots, getting everyone ready and then someone has to pee....  Plus, I'm lazy when it comes to going out in the winter.  I want to stay home and be active in the house.  I only leave if I have to (we're low on milk, the pantry looks sad, someone has an appt, etc).

    It must be the age.  DD keeps throwing fits all the time over everything.  The newest thing is fighting me with all of her might not to let me strap her in her car seat.

    We're in the same boat.  I am such a home body right now. When we do go out, I have to plan the trips for maximum effectiveness in the least amount of time.  I only get a solid, good, 10-15 minutes out of them w/o using a lot of distraction techniques (like singing the alphabet in the food store) right now, so I have to have my list in hand and coupons ready and try to go when the store is not crowded at all.  The fits and moods are just so unpredictable.  If I were pregnant, I could imagine my tolerance would be even less.  I have become all about finding creative ways to enjoy home all the time.

    It's not pathetic at all!  It's called survival.  You're doing your best.  It's fine.

    I totally understand where you're coming from. Lately, it is a huge fight to get DD buckled in her carseat. She just screams "I DO IT!" over & over at the top of her lungs while kicking her feet and arching her back so that I can't get her in. If I allow her to "do it" herself, she gets super frustrated because she can't get part of the buckles done and another meltdown ensues. Because of this, I totally hate going anywhere. I hope this phase is over soon!
