Um, no. I carry them both in from the detached garage and into the house (well, I used to - now they are bigger and can walk), but if the option were to leave my kids in the car or run inside the gas station really quick or something, then yes, I would use the stroller. Ours unfolds very easily and it's not a huge deal to put them into it.
i was talking about going into my house.
ETA: if i'm running into a place without my kids it has nothing to do with how many kids i have. i would have done it with just my daughter in the car or with all 3. i
I don't have two babies, but I have a baby and a preschooler and there's no way I'd be able to unbuckle and retrieve one baby or kid from a carseat while holding the other. Even with one in the ergo it would be tricky because you have to bend over into the car and then pick them up. plus, two babies are probably pretty damn heavy.
wait, you're saying you can't ever get 2 kids out of the car at the same time? I don't get it. I have 2 kids and have never left them in the car (NOT JUDGING, I just don't do it). It's entirely possible to get 2 kids out of the car.
no, no, sorry...see my other post above. I meant to say that I wouldn't be able to hold the baby while unbuckling the older one. Or if I had two actual babies (not a baby and an older kid) I didn't know how I'd hold one and unbuckle, then pick up the other one. I'm sure it can be done, but I probably am not talented enough to manage it

I just don't get this. You pull out your double stroller (from the trunk, I assume), unload both kids from their car seats, and buckle them into the stroller just to walk 10 feet and pay for gas?
I pull into the pump closest to the door, look through the glass storefront to make sure there's no line, lock the door and run in. I can see my car at all times. I could be in and out and done pumping before you even get the stroller set up.
it's not possible with my children. congrats to you for having complicient children.
and my post was "get over your freakish level of paranoia"
glad to be of service in reading for you.
I got that, doofus. Hence the eyeroll.
apparently you didn't because i don't care if you judge about it, i just think you're a paranoid nutjob if you can't fathom the thought of YOURSELF running into your house to get something that's 5 feet away without taking your kids out of the car to go get it with you.

i can NOW, i couldn't about 6 months ago.
yeah, you're talking about twins. i was talking about bhnumbers, who said she could never. i just don't get how you can't get 2 kids out of the car at the same time when one is a pre-schooler?
GOod question. Who really goes into the actual gas station store?
Also, can we quit the "STOP JUDGING ME?" I mean really? It is the internet. If we all agreed with each other it would be BORING. But perhaps I am just happy that this post has allowed me to waste the last half of the last day of the FY.

you're welcome.
I don't really think this makes anyone a paranoid nutjob as there was a woman whose car was carjacked from her driveway with her kids in it near me. So it does happen.
I feel like I heard about it a couple times of year on the news. I mean it may be rare but not THAT rare that it isn't something to be concerned about IMO.
But I am also going to RF until DS is 27 so maybe I am a whackjob
No way in hell could I load dd in e car down here pre cart return. It's darn hit. She would melt. I have to let the car cool down first. So i turn the car on, load the groceries, return the cart, then put her in.

I rarely pay at the pump anymore because if I pre-pay I have control over how much I spend on gas. Paying at the pump means I usually end up paying more because I'll go ahead and fill that mofo to the tippity top if I can. Some of us live on budgets.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

but at that point the only options are having absolutely no contact with anyone in the world ever again or going out and chancing it (something that was already mentioned in this post, i know). IDK where you live but i haven't ever heard of anyone getting carjacked in their driveway. i'm not calling you a liar, i'm giving you my frame of reference. i'm in sleepyville NY.
and to the RFing, i WISH we hadn't turned the boys. they kick the shit out of my seat. we got the all clear from their ped and grace kept climbing under their seats. dumb.
If I told DS that, he would try to get stolen. He's (almost) 3 and in a "I do whatever the fuck I want phase."
That's when you tell them no one wants them anyway and anyone who does would return them within 20 minutes.
LMBO. Why did I say this to the toddler as she cried in the basket during the store. Like the clerk was going to take her. My response "Oh, boo. Stop crying. She doesn't want you. And if she does, she'll give you right back."

Yeah, this is what I'm not down with. I can see always taking your kids into a gas station, but saying that you're too paranoid to leave them in your own driveway to grab a forgotten item... seems a bit much

Yeah, I consider that a different subject and, incidentally, do that all the time.

Lurker...I BFd DS1 to 20 months and I currently EBF DS2 , he's 10 weeks. I lurk on the BF board on TB and the sanctimommies are driving me fucking crazy. There's a post that basically calls out any supplementing moms.
The gist...if you have to give any formula, you aren't trying hard enough.
I've been lucky in that I've never had to supplement, but this shit drives me crazy. Take herbs, off use meds, pump every hour, spend hundreds on a LC...but don't give an ounce of formula!!! Virgin guts!!!1! Your doctor knows nothing!!!1! And if you have to supplement, it's bc you didn't try hard enough
But, I have the winning flameful. I am a dipshit and let Jackson play at our neighbor's house for 45 minutes after school. They took him with them to drop their daughter off (5 minute trip) and dropped him off on the way back. Except they didn't even put him in a booster for this trip and I still have him in a 5pt harness.
Why can't I fucking learn that if I give these people an inch they take a mile? This is the first time I had let him go over there since the whole babysitting debacle and I thought - well it's only for a short time because I was going to get him before they left. Except they left and then called me to say they'd be right back.
I seriously want to firebomb their house. WHO TAKES SOMEONE ELSE'S KID IN A CAR WITHOUT A CARSEAT? IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. They don't put their much smaller child in a booster (even though it's against the law) so why am I shocked? I'm an idiot for letting him go there.

That sucks E. They should have just called to have you get him if they couldn't drive him safely.
Here is a flameful over share....
Get ready it has nothing to do with kids...
I need to do a run. But I am also really hungry...I really want either (a) a pb and J sandwich or popcorn. Both of these are notorious for giving me the poops on a run. I know this, but will still eat them.....I know I'll probably have to stop and poo on this run.

Well..I will either go to the gym..a safety zone.
Or there is a park with nice bathrooms
Yesterday there was what can only be described as a "cheesestick incident" on the same route--I was past the bathrooms, but I would like to thank the local CVS and their public bathrooms for their support in my time of need.
Oh also...speaking of...wild fears that have very small chances of actually happening: The park bathrooms? Yeah, I'm always afraid of going in them, and some psycho seeing me and then following me in and killing me in there..the park is busy and safe, but I have a vivid imagination. I much prefer those bathrooms when I have a running buddy to survey the outside scene.

This only reinforces my "run only when being chased" stance.
