going out to eat is a nightmare

having small kids and eating out just do not mix. thats why burger king is putting crayola toy sin their happy meals to help keep your kids occupied. it’s a part of their CLUBBK.  

the parent bloggers network wants to know all about those horrible dinners when your kids just wouldn’t behave.

when my daughter was just a baby is was so easy. you could just put her in the car seat and she would sleep most of the time.  now that i have three children and two of them are toddlers. i dread going out to eat we opt for fast food. thats always the drive up window.

my kids touch everything, the salt and pepper. the little sugar packets, katschup etc.   a lot of restaurants are good about giving the kids a page and some color crayons. but then my kids are dropping the crayons and wanting you to pick them up every two minutes.

we went out for breakfast at cracker barrel  and my 2 yr old daughter was just in one of those moods where she needs to touch everything. she was playing with the creamers. and she pops one open right on the couple next to us. i was so humiliated. luckily it was a very nice older couple and they laughed it off.

their have been times where my kids were cranky and just cried or screamed. i knew it irratated people. i just try to ignore it, as much as i can. i’m not going to pack up and leave when my child will calm down in just a couple minutes.

i hate hen i order my kids food and then they refuse to eat it. i can’t stand that.

so now we go out to a restaurant maybe once every 3 months. most of the time we opt in for fast food, something i know my kids will eat. when we do go out i bring a toy or their favorite juice. a snack i know they will eat, so i don’t feel to bad if they refuse to eat their food.

i want to adopt a puppy/plush

my kids want a dog, i want a dog. my husband will never allow it. he says it’s to hard to clean up after and to much trouble. i did have a dog, but had to give it up when i got pregnant. was not a kid friendly dog.

5 minutes for mom is looking for someone to adopt 3 puppies, and they are easy to care for. the dalmatian, german shorthaired pointer, and boston terrier are plush and require nothing but a child or adults love.

puppies

my husband would have no objection to these since there is not much care. everyone can be happy.  me and the kids get a puppy and my husband doesn’t have to clean up the poop. i really want one. my favs are the boston terrier and the dalmatian. but the german shorthaired pointer is cute too
