I took A to the post office in the Ergo today and it was nap time so I 'thought' she'd fall asleep. No. Instead she screamed the entire time we were in the queue, and accellerated into full blown choking on the tears by the time we reached the front. Everyone was looking at me like I was Bad Mum of the Year, then DH phoned me so my cell was going off (three times in a row!!) and I was trying to write an address on my parcel and pay at the same time. Oh and some mad bat was banging on in my ear about how kids have evil looks in their eye?!?!?! I seriously failed at that outing. Bad mum.

Do you ever struggle to cope on an outing?
