Thank you for apologising
Like I said, we do have a car, we're just not in the financial position to get another car (for me). It doesn't detract from what I know and teach others so I was a bit hurt by those unecessary comments and PM stuff. If I was a mechanic and didn't even have a car - I'd totally understand that. But I'm not a mechanic, I'm a car seat person - have kids, have car seats, install car seats for people. It's just a bit of a kick in the nuts considering all the time and effort I put in to helping people I don't even know (remember, I've never ever been paid for anything I've ever done) - but thank you for your apology

Thanks to you other guys for your helpful suggestions :) I must admit though I was just looking for a wee vent - which I got and yes I have thought of catching the bus LOL. It's the getting out with two young children that's hard - not the finding something to do!

We only have one car at the moment too. Until recently hubby took the ferry into town. Then bought a scooter but it would only arrive in 35 days so he started taking the car. (lazy to wake up a bit earlier) So then the time came for the scooter to be here and the guy doesnt call Grant back. Finally he answered us to say it will be another 22 days. Yesterday Grant got a loan scooter so now at least I have my car back.

I feel for you CRS. I hate not doing the shopping in the week and freeing up weekends. And then some weekends we cant really go far as he is on call.

Where in Auckland are you? Perhaps some of us can visit you or something? ]]> Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:56:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10354&PID=206198&title=sigh-mummy-vent-sigh#206198 <![CDATA[*sigh* mummy vent! *sigh* : caraMel wrote:I hear ya!

Its so horrible when you do make the effort to go out only to spend the whole time there dealing with your tantying kids huh?

Hope you're having a better day today chick!

I couldn't live without my car. I was forbidden to drive for 5 weeks at the end of my pregnancy and I hated being so dependent on Willie and my friends to take me to appointments etc. ]]> Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:14:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10354&PID=206174&title=sigh-mummy-vent-sigh#206174 <![CDATA[*sigh* mummy vent! *sigh* : GandT wrote:touchy touchy -...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10354&PID=206164&title=sigh-mummy-vent-sigh#206164 Author: CRS

I thought it was a touch ironic too GandT, but then Supernanny doesn't have any kids, and no body questions her expertise.

Whereabouts in Auckland are you? Have you thought of using public transport? Do they still have those Links buses that go direct to the shopping malls.

During the day they're probably not very busy anyway, so would only be bothering the bus driver and some deaf elderly person if your kids decide to throw a tanty.]]> Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:28:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10354&PID=206153&title=sigh-mummy-vent-sigh#206153 <![CDATA[*sigh* mummy vent! *sigh* : I totally understand the 1 car...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10354&PID=206145&title=sigh-mummy-vent-sigh#206145 Author: mummy_becks

Uhh, how is that relevant to this thread? Of course I have car seats! I don't have a car because it's just not in the finances right now - big deal? A doctor doesn't have to have an illness to be able to diagnose and treat something (so doesn't make what he has to say less valuable).

I can sympathise too -- we didn't have a second car until Em was 8 months old. DH worked from 7am to 6pm so I was home alone for ages. The only thing within walking distance was Foodtown, so I used to wander up there several times a week just to avoid boredom! How sad is that? "Come on, Em, let's go to Foodtown and walk around!"
