I have two boys 15 months apart and I WILL NOT take them shopping unless I have another adult with me...or another adult to leave them at home with! I know this isn't always possible - I totally sympathise - you would have been exhausted once you got home, but I bet S & J kept going for a good while still :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100344594099646839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-5021292388706016952008-01-26T19:39:00.000+11:002008-01-26T19:39:00.000+11:00Trish all I can say is that you are a brave woman ...Trish all I can say is that you are a brave woman shopping with two babies. I can barely cope on a quick run through Aldi with one!!<BR/><BR/>Nothing like the little snacks for a distraction. Noddy once ate two fruitbars out of a box of five in Safeway before we even got to the checkout. I always present the battered carton for payment to the long-suffering checkout girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-36456055267517486252008-01-26T16:45:00.000+11:002008-01-26T16:45:00.000+11:00My girls were born 20 months apart and I get many ...My girls were born 20 months apart and I get many people asking me if they are twins. <BR/><BR/>If I'm out shopping and see another Mum I give them what I hope is a sympathetic looking smile (I really do hope it looks sympathetic and not 'I'm grinning at your torture'). No time to stop and chat because my girls are usually trying to destroy the store.<BR/><BR/>Shopping online is not all its cracked up to be. I've done it a couple of times and they don't always have exactly what I need, with fussy eaters in the house I need to get particular brands. So I usually end up back at the real store anyway. Plus the cost is just so much higher than going to ALDI, the fruit shop and the butcher.<BR/><BR/>I have to practice taking Heidi to the shops and having her walk around holding my hand. She is 3 now so I suppose I can't keep sticking her in the trolley but it is so much easier when she's contained. Often when she gets bored while shopping Heidi decides she is a cat and starts crawling and meowing. As long as she is following along and not being destructo toddler interrupting my shopping then she can be a cat. Just have to remember to wipe her paws clean when we are done - those grocery store floors are dirty.Maritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186136444811595697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-53859934370766273302008-01-26T16:29:00.000+11:002008-01-26T16:29:00.000+11:00Oh dear *ggiglesnort* I can laugh because I have b...Oh dear *ggiglesnort* I can laugh because I have been there... ooooh so many times!<BR/>One tip - if you shop at coles or safeways you can ask one of the managers to order you a twin trolley. They are obliged to do so, if they won't email head office.. worked a treat for me, though it doesn't solve the problem of someone else using it so they can put their eggs AND their handbag in the kiddy seats!<BR/><BR/>It does get easier as they get older. Now that my girls are walking less people seem to recognise them as twins and so we get less stops and less stupid comments... though I doubt it will ever stop all together.<BR/>I had someone ask me the other day "are they twins? (yes) How do you know?" Ummm.. I was there when they were born!!!!katefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498070846839816977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-81323290839201209722008-01-26T16:28:00.000+11:002008-01-26T16:28:00.000+11:00I am exhausted just reading about it.

And could grab stuff from the aisles(as I learned the hard way). DH used to travel and sometimes I had no choice. I did not get all the "twin" attention and that's okay by me. I hope you relaxed once you got home.<BR/>HUGS!Crazed Nitwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433413927453925851noreply@blogger.com
