I am so sorry! I left my wallet last month and I was so embarrassed!

I am sorry! Hugs!!

@MamaMoose: I agree. Sometimes my LO hates it too and I just have to let him cry. He usually calms down after a few minutes.

I'm so sorry!!! I can imagine who frustrating that is!!! I've had days like this and they SUCK. Makes me want to just throw something...or cry....or both. Have a nice ugly cry, take a deep breath and then take one step at at time. Vi will be fine in the car, even if she's screaming. Just turn on the radio and try to ignore it as best you can. I've done the "stop and go, stop and go" drive before with a crying baby in the back. And it's beyond frustrating. Just keep driving...she'll be fine!

Ugh, I'm sorry. I've done this and it sucks!

Agree that sometimes you just gotta drive. And if you try to do it a bit more, she may just get used to it and not put up such a fight, hopefully.

I think if you know your baby is dry, safe, and full then I would just let her cry during the car. They will eventually get used to it. I'm not sure what kind of car seat they are in, but maybe switching to a convertible car seat would help.

I can't imagine being cramped up in the house all day

That's so incredibly annoying. I would absolutely cry in the parking lot.

I agree though that it's better to just get where you are going rather than stopping to feed her every time she cries. It just prolongs the unpleasantness. Get a mirror so you can see that she's ok, just pissed, and get to your destination as quickly as possible. C hates the car too but is slowly starting to deal with it better the more we are in it. And I have gotten better at tuning her out when I know she is fine, just unhappy.

ACK! I've totally done this. More than once actually. I'm empathizing hard.

Oh my word, what a terrible state of affairs. Big hugs.

I'm sorry.

I would honestly just let her cry in the seat unless its a long drive... Toys attached to the handlebar saved us. I had a fussy, carseat hating baby before 4 months and I let it stop me from getting basic things done but next time around I think I won't. I know it's hard. Hopefully she will come around to it!
