The fits are generally not as noisy as they used to be, at least. :-)<br />One time I took the three of them to Marsh and such spectacular fits were thrown (over who was sitting where in the shopping cart I think) I didn't even make it past the registers before turning around and leaving with Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359409863805363578.post-53681002219169218012010-08-20T21:26:23.046-04:002010-08-20T21:26:23.046-04:00Suzy, you've got to blow off the crazies, girl...Suzy, you've got to blow off the crazies, girl! I'd have snapped something not-so-nice back at that lady, I'm sure.

She's so dramatic. I'm impressed that some of them were able to keep calm. <br />As for that lady who HAD to comment, I want to punch people like that in the face.

I think kids learn best how to "act" in public by being out in public, so you gotta take them out! :) I think you had a great success! For me, having 3 kids, I consider it is a success if only 1 of them misbehaves. . . and this includes the 5 year old! :) Keep it up Suzy!

Children will make noise - as this is often the only way they can express how they are feeling. Don't worry about anyone else - just do what you are doing now and know that you are doing the best for them.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376962239481742597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359409863805363578.post-55113206636571868772010-08-19T22:45:10.919-04:002010-08-19T22:45:10.919-04:00Oh, I'm sorry!

You'll have good outings and not so good outings, but you have to keep trying.<br />As for when they learn to conrol heir emotions? Um, I think we have a while. <br />We are already something of a spectacle, so it can be really embarassing when one (or more) melts down in public. It sounds like you handled it as well as you could, though.<Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289616843275308342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359409863805363578.post-75919829765890342532010-08-19T22:44:07.837-04:002010-08-19T22:44:07.837-04:00Don't be discouraged, Suzy!

We were a spectacle. Fits were thrown. Grace freaked out when it was time to return the toys to the toy box. Emma refused to share. Emma screamed every time I tried to keep her from running off.
