Sorry to hear about your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (did you ever read that book? It was one of my favourites growing up). I'm pregnant now, but not showing yet, so I have yet to experience offers of assistance! I think people may be hesitant to offer help because we are so wary of strangers now, especially when children are concerned. It's sad because I can't think of a time when you'd need help more.

Your hands are too full. If it isn't baby carriers, its babies, toddlers, little hands, diaper bags, grocery bags, purses, etc. Time now to get a raincoat. With a hood. I am getting a new one for Christmas in a fun bright color. I used my old one year round. Once the kids get a little older and porch steps are mastered, I might get a cuter trench, but for now, I need a durable raincoat. Moms can’t do umbrellas. Your hands are too full.

I've often wondered how it is that parents actually manage to do errands with a newborn or toddler in tow, let alone in the rain. Ergh. Selfishly, I'm encouraged to hear that at some point in my pregnancy (guessing when I get huge), people will go out of their way to be helpful!

I was recently at the grocery store with my 2mo. old son. I was in the check-out line, he was all out wailing and the teenage cashier just sat there and watched me while I scrambled to bag my own groceries. Oh the chivalry! :) Don't worry- I'll be teaching my son very early on how important it is to lend a hand as I'm sure you will with your little guy. We can do our small part to curb the apathy.

Poor thing. I'm sure motherhood is just exhausting, but I think you're probably doing a bang up job! Sorry this was a rough day.

I have two of them and they make them in all sorts of different materials so maybe they have ones that are waterproof now. (I'm in Wisconsin, so I was more concerned with getting a fleecy warm one.) No more struggling with blankets and you can just close the flap so he won't get rained on. Secondly, I don't know how you ever managed to put a car seat in the crook of your elbow - you ARE strong! - but my brother got tennis elbow from doing that with his daughter, so be careful! You are right about people being less eager to help with a baby, but do you think that might be because some mothers are weird about someone grabbing their baby from them? Just a thought. Try to stay warm and don't go out anymore! The stores are BRUTAL! Merry Christmas! Ok, first off you need to get a car seat cover that is elastic around the edges.

That sounds like a terrible outing! This reminds me of the time I was walking 2 blocks to work at 5:30 am in the pouring rain with gusting winds that literally snapped my "wind-resistant" umbrella in half. As I was struggling with the broken umbrella, a nice man walked past me and said "it's not a very good day for umbrellas, is it?" Really sir? Because I thought that pouring rain was excellent umbrella weather. I always try to hold the door open for women carrying car seats, but now I'll pay extra attention to see if they need more help! That kitchen is gorgeous! Boo. That sounds like a terrible outing!
