Once you have more than one child you are faced with the dilemma to leave the house or not to leave the house. You see its many a mouths to feed, dishes to pick up, feet that need to be shoed, teeth brushed and potty visited, make sure the clothes are clean and then if its raining don't get me started... then there is the logistical drama of who will sit where in the car assuming they are of speaking age (much harder)... seat belts fastened then lets say you get to your destination without too much conflict regarding music choice and who is singing too loudly.
NOW they inform you they have to pee and they are hungry. Did you remember to pack adequate snacks better yet did you pack anything they will eat? A trip to the bathroom, refastening buttons and making sure hands are washed and dried you venture out on your journey handing out snacks and juice boxes because if you attempt to sit down they will either get dirty or run away... can you see why one would NO LONGER WANT TO WALK AROUND the mall or the museum? No, the parent is exhausted and starving because in all of the rush to actually GET somewhere BEFORE noon the mom or dad forgets to feed themselves. Don't forget, the snack that fares well with the kids is never something that will do for your ravenous hunger after 4 cups of coffee and 4 hours of chaos. Did we go anywhere today? You guess. Its noon.
