I NEED BBQ chips like right now, huge craving for them. But not interested in loading up 3 kids who are all in car seats to go to the grocery store to get them!

Moms with more than one, what silly "challenges" are you facing this go around?

    Hahaha. What an awesome post!!
    ...I only have one, but I am concerned about him jumping and throwing his toys on my stomach!! He's only 14 months so he can't understand me, but it's really starting to worry me.

    Seriously have this issue with two. Craving usually have to wait because that's too much work for one thing. DH always ask why don't you just go get it if I ask him to grab something on the way home. He doesn't understand the struggle. I know I might skip lunch for myself (kids will always eat) when there is three. I know terrible but I try and plan ahead so that won't happen.

    Oh the struggle is real. Does DD skip a bath so I can go to the store and buy something I am craving or do we do bath and bed on schedule? Yesterday bath and bed won. Being a single mom is hard last time H would of gladly gone out to buy something I was craving

    Ugh this is a weekly struggle for me! I hate to load my three up just to get them out at a store. I usually give in after they are all in bed and H is home, then just go alone to the store.

    There needs to be a delivery service for pregnant ladies craving needs. Like, I don't want a full grocery shop delivered, just a pint of Ben and Jerry's and a bag of kettle chips... Now.

    I can't love tit this enough seriously. But some days I want all groceries delivered they don't offer that down here. I heard that they do in NYC but that could be a rumor.

    How about the guilt? My 3 are older (10, 7, and 5) so they are capable of doing a lot on their own and entertaining themselves but I have guilt about how much I've been slacking because of how crappy I always feel. Gone are the days of the creative homecooked meals, Pinterest inspired crafts, and nightly tuck-ins with multiple goodnight songs.

    And I'm seriously worried about getting through their dance recital this weekend. Today we have a 5 hour long dress rehearsal which will be the longest time I've been out of my house in the last 10 weeks.

    I'm not sure where you live but there is a website called instacart.com. They have people who will go to the store and deliver it to your house within a couple of hours! It's awesome!

    Yeah, challenge of today- trying to get my 3 and 1 year old to snack on the apple and grapes I've cut up, whilst I indulge my cravings for cookies :-/

    "But mummmmm why can't we have cookies"
    "Apple is healthier!"
    "Then shouldn't the baby have apple too?"

    I don't need your smarts right now kid, I just need the cookies IN MY MOUTH!

    I'd have to eat the cookie behind a locked door. My son gives me the most disturbing looks that cause me awful guilt when I eat food he knows is unhealthy. He'll happily grab an apple off the counter and eat it, but I'd just rather have the chocolate bar that's right next to it.

    I have to wait to indulge my cravings until after my two have gone to bed. I'm very protective of my cheesecake. Thankfully my husband doesn't mind going out later but I hate having to wait all day just to sneak something!
