Luckily we figured it out before the baby got here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178331 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 13:11:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 178331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah!!! been there done that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178319 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 13:07:29 +0000 lavender 178319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stil struggle with the stroller frame. The worse is when I'm in a parking lot and people are staring at me, then I get flustered and takes even longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178199 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 12:02:08 +0000 LuLu Mom 178199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m so glad I'm not alone in this, I felt so horrible! I think it just made my fears of "can I really do this" seem more real! Luckily DH calmed me down and told me all the nice things I needed to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178173 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:38:40 +0000 ninja 178173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I could have written this post! Same exact thing happened to me, and I actually scream-cried: "I'm an engineer, damnit!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178129 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:15:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 178129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's not a fail - that's a training exercise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178111 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:06:13 +0000 Alivoo01 178111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Babies R Us to purchase a high chair for hubby's cousin's son and we couldn't figure out how to take the tray off on the display. When we asked an employee, they took it off with ease. We were so embarrassed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178082 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:55:39 +0000 chopsuey 178082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate collapsing strollers!! I still have a hard time folding our umbrella stroller :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178054 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:44:17 +0000 heffalump 178054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm.... I couldn't collapse our stroller by myself until lo was a couple weeks old! Nothing in the baby gear world is easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178042 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:40:27 +0000 hilsy85 178042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw! I feel like those "easy" things are always harder than they seem :) And how exciting that you guys have your stroller already! I'm jealous, I can't wait to get ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178008 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:29:29 +0000 mediagirl 178008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha ha ha. I know that feeling! I struggled with our stroller for a while before I could get it to collapse! Practice makes perfect, you're not going to fail as a mom because you couldn't close the stroller the first time. Good job testing it out before you have baby here and have to juggle her and the stroller!! :)</p> <p>If it helps - I was trying to figure out what was "wrong" with the stroller's sun shield at the same time. I thought it was broken but I had no idea how it broke since we haven't used it. It wasn't broken, I just hadn't pulled it out far enough. D'oh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-to-be-fail#post-178004 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:27:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 178004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my DH put together our stroller this weekend, its part of a travel system and I was so excited. I was pushing it around and trying to get the hang of it. I tried to collapse it since everyone online said it was "so easy" and I couldn't figure it out without the instructions. I felt like a failure and started to cry. Haha </p> <p>Anyone else fail at something that is supposed to be easy? </p>
