So yesterday me & my kids had a wic appointment .. the kids had to come with me for this one .. well my twins dad had work so I took them by myself. We have no car so we rode the city bus.. let me just say , never again will I attempt something like this by myself ! The first bus ride was alright. The second bus ride was alright . But at wic , they wouldn’t stop touching everything , wouldn’t listen & was screaming at the top of their lungs the whole half hour that we was there.. then when we left to get on the bus , one of my twins would not listen , she kept dropping herself onto the ground.. she screamed the whole bus ride which was about 25 minutes & was like trying to throw herself out of my arms & would’ve hurt herself ! On top of that , the bus was PACKED ! I was so embarrassed cuz I couldn’t get her to stop.. when we got off the bus , we walked right over to their dads job because it wasn’t a busy time & I broke down. I started bawling my eyes out because I just felt like if I can’t handle the 3 I have in public , how will I handle 4!! Then he helped me calm them down completely so I took them to rite aid to get some lunch till he got off work because we only had to wait an hour... they fell asleep after we all ate & slept for 3 hours ! I just hope this never happens again ...

It’s been scientifically proven that kids behave their worst when they’re only with their mom. It’s so sad.

I’m sorry you had a rough time with them. My son still has his days where he doesn’t listen and going out in public can be so stressful. He’s 7, high-functioning autistic, and possibly ADHD (literally in the middle of trying to get the diagnosis this month). It’s very challenging, so I know how you feel. I’m scared when I’ll have two kids to deal with.

I’m sure you’re doing better with three kids than you give yourself credit for. I’m here if you ever need to talk or vent! ☺️

Momma, I'm pretty sure you did the best you could do, plus you a super mom for taking all of the kids by yourself. It wasn't easy but you did it!!

I’ve been in situations like that with just 1!!! Mommy, you need leashes for the little ones- or to bring a lightweight double stroller you can put them in. Maybe next time a friend or family member can go with you?

I don't go through this but I thought maybe I could help a little bit. I know it's going to be a little more difficult with three or four children and I only have one but with my daughter I went out and bought her a small backpack that fits on her and I fill it with books toys coloring books crayons and snacks. That always keeps her from getting bored and out of trouble. My sister had four boys and she went through the same thing with three of them. That's when she learned how to get them all backpacks and fill them with things that they liked and it made a big difference in their behavior while she was out.

@briannaalycia, my twins rip up paper if they get it so I wouldn’t try coloring yet. My oldest would

Color tho.. she’s good but my twins are crazy... & yes I give up having a boy

@queenmommy1, my fourth was a girl as well. I gave up on having a boy and somehow accidentally found myself pregnant again🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m telling you snacks are messy but they work on keeping them occupied... I’ve tried coloring books and they just fight over specific colors

@queenmommy1, SAME EXACT SITUATION OVER HERE. My son behaves and listens when my husband is around. But my husband travels a lot for work and my son doesn't always listen to me. I have no trouble with him in public if my husband is there. Same with at home. Kids. 🙄🙄🙄

@briannaalycia, the baby I’m pregnant with is ANOTHER GIRL ! Lol & I’m not sure why having that male figure around makes that big difference..

So true I am a mom of four girls (currently expecting first boy) and I struggle taking them anywhere without my husband... like it’s crazy the behavioral differences of having their father present... i try to bring lots of snacks (eff any business rule against food) some days are better than others... remember that.

@aengs2, the thing is if their dad was with me , that wouldn’t have happened ! My kids kno better even being so young. Nothing like this has ever happened before because I’ve never done it by myself but they don’t really listen to me at home either which is crazy because I’m with them majority of the time . I just hope next time is much better !

You're not alone! This happens to all mamas. Kiddos don't always know how to behave in public. I had to bring my son to get an oil change with me last night by myself and I felt like everyone was staring at me when he wasn't listening. It's such an isolating and embarrassing feeling. But you and I both survived!
