My kids are 8,3, and 2. They cannot go out by themselves.
Bottom line is that I am not the quicky type. I am all set with going into the bedroom for a fast 5 minutes and having 2 babies on the other side of the door screaming!
For the record it has not been since 1990 we were not even together then!
It was easier with one kid, we would say we were going in the room to talk about santa or the easter bunny, he would sit on the couch and watch tv and behave. Different story with the two younger ones, we cannot even shower alone with out them in the bathroom talking to us and irritating us!
