So we just got back from a road trip to Oklahoma..... and I realize how limited / restricted I am with Chance. I love him to Pieces BUT..... I can't take him into restaurants.... there is no such thing as a quick trip into a store with him, as his little hands jet out of the opening of the enclosed stroller and he grabs everything within reach.... I know just like a toddler BUT his is THREE and I have come to the realization that I will never have a normal life - - I won't be able to take a cruise, fly anywhere with him in tow, everything within driving distance...... Oh Yeah : (
I was a really difficult weekend this time, as the kids were "dog sitting" for friends and Chance has a DEFINITE OPINION regarding dogs... and I'm not sure where it developed from, cause we have dogs at home, albeit outside dogs and big dogs but they have never even barked at Chance, so where this fear comes from I guess goes back to Nature vs. Nurture.
And I feel so guilty..... its horrible.. he is by himself, its hot, he cries, he is anxious with the dogs. (sigh) kinda hard to enjoy human's worrying about the baby monkey. How do other monk owners do it??? I am the only one that can change the diapers..... I feel I'm the only one that looks out for his emotional well being, yet Daddy is the hero! I guess its that ALPHA thing.
What has my husband gotten me into for the rest of my life....

yeah, sorry to hear that, I know what you mean. I don't take Chase out in the public anywhere, so it's drive through for us or I wait in the car while my husband gets the food, Chase cries when I go in and leave him with Dad. Chase is also 3 but still learning. I pretty much just accept that is the way my life will be and find joy in camping and not going to far from home to eat at nice places which is hard considering we are in Small town Ne. :) but he's a joy and I knew that before. Good luck and it's just like parenting, sometimes ya wonder why ya do it, then they smile or hug ya and you know. wish ya strength. :D
