It seemed to help to have someone other then their mom helping to keep them occupied. Maybe there's a nice single adult you know who would come sit with you sometimes??? Good for you for "suckin' it up."<br />xoxoRachel Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436817644290996491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095575145811014121.post-32367209867232326022009-11-16T17:26:18.667-05:002009-11-16T17:26:18.667-05:00Who said that???

Every Sunday I just wanted to cry because my kids were misbehaving and everyone else's seemed to be perfect little angels. Even just last month, I left the kids for half a second because my friend thought she lost her son (on his way back from the restroom) so I went to help her look for him. Came back (seriously gone for maybe 45 seconds tops) and Ryan had colored all over his arms, clothes, and face. The people behind us were laughing hystericly. I wanted to scream..then had to laugh. Ugh, church..some days! Love ya girl, hang in there!Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348860874522458400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095575145811014121.post-68645950017559679922009-10-04T18:17:13.940-04:002009-10-04T18:17:13.940-04:00I'm sorry Leah!

I have to sit by myself every sunday now that Eric's in the bishopric. I had a young couple mention to Eric that I had left a mess on the pew after sacrament. All it took was a few dirty looks to them and then they were offering to help. ha ha So, I'm not the best example of how to handle things, but we all need to be a little more understanding of people. I wish I could be there and we could let our kids entertain each other.Eric and Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518560518956052272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095575145811014121.post-37132399358517961542009-10-02T08:29:26.110-04:002009-10-02T08:29:26.110-04:00Go to sugardoodle.net for ideas and don't get ...Go to sugardoodle.net for ideas and don't get discourage for what people say :-) They don't understand what you're going through!

Dad and I had lots of struggles with you girls, but look what happened.

I mean... seriously. I'm angry for you. <br /><br />I'm sorry, I don't have any tips for you. In fact, Zak and I usually make things worse. We love sitting behind rowdy kids because we get entertained and our laughing just eggs them on and makes them rowdier.<br /><br />Maybe you should just move into our ward. I think that's the most sensible solution!Zak and Weeziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788407775732486445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095575145811014121.post-23631980700816872722009-09-27T22:17:12.753-04:002009-09-27T22:17:12.753-04:00Shame on those people!

Being a single mom at church is rough, I had to do it when Joe worked crazy hours. Sometimes people just need to be a little more tolerant of our little ones or offer to help before complaining. You're a great mom and don't let anyone tell you differently. You are in my prayers. Keep that great smile on your face.Cherished Moments Turned Into Family Memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844191697630843993noreply@blogger.com
