hhahaa, I don't know why anyone does anything with small children in tow.

I'm serious. I didn't leave the house for 12 years except for school/work stuff or to take them to the playground. Totally not worth it.

I did take the oldest everywhere with me when he was 2 or 3, but I was really young then and he wasn't a loud child. I had him really well trained/socialized, though. He didn't make a peep.
