YEah thanks for the advice,now mind your damn business!
GRRRRRRRRR
So I was picking up my boys from school today. Theyre across the hall from eachother, so first I get one, then the other, and we make our way out to the car.
The baby, I almost always have in the carseat, and in the travel system (stroller) or the snap n go, I tried the Baby Bjorn carrier a few times, but it just didnt work out. since I have to grab both boys packpacks, and make sure they hold my hand or stay near me on the way out the door.
With 3 (or even when I had 2) you have to strategically plan every step, to make sure theyre safe every possible second. My hubby gets them out of their seat belts and then starts getting the baby's stroller, etc. I tell him the kids are the LAST thing out of the car, so theyre securely strapped in and you can concentrate on getting everything else out of the car...
So when I get them at school, I have to have hands free, to get their backpacks, any work/projects they bring home, etc. help them with their jackets.
So today, I go in, and this is my 2nd yr there, this one mom knows me for over a year now. and she says to me "do you live nearby, do you walk here? you have a car, right? do you come with your car or walk? I thought I saw your car, or do you walk?" (give me a chance to answer before you spill out 75 questions! so I give her this look like  "what are you gettin at lady?" and I didnt answer her stupid question, and her next question was "Why do you bring the whole stroller in, why dont you just carry the carseat in?" (in her terrible grammar, and she's a teacher)
So I said "you dont have 3 little ones, do you?" I have to be READY to REACT if one of them runs off, if one of them needs their shoe tied, or falls, etc. I have to get their backpacks, jackets, etc. She didnt even let me finish and was like "oh yeah, oh yeah".........
 annoying!

only another mommy of 3 can understand 
and not even a daddy of 3 will understand, only a mommy! 
ETA: WE were out in that rain too  I got home asap though to avoid any bad situations, we just went to a playgroup and it was only drizzling when we left

Stupid Peope...
Can't people just mind their own business. I wouldn't say anything to a mom or make any suggestions to her. Unless I see the child was in danger.

exactly, I always offer help rather than advice, Ii was just my daughter and I the other day and saw a new mom struggling with her newborn and instead of telling her what to do I asked if I could help and she was soooo appreciative. And she took my he;p, she put her son in his carrier and I closed her stroller and put it in her trunk for her during that torrential rain storm, spme other old ladoes were lookiong at her in horror, but no one offered to help

yes, thank you! dont pity me, either leave me alone or help me if you think I need help! now if I came with only a carseat, YES I would have needed help, but I think I did pretty ok with lugging the stroller in. yes its heavier to get out of the car, but far worth the peace of mind of the baby being safe and the boys being my priority at the school...
yep, I get those comments..
"three??"... ALL BOYS ???" 
"you poor thing"

and yes it is SOOO worth it. I kiss them for hours a day. theyre so much fun, Im a little outnumbered, but still so fun.

Re: YEah thanks for the advice,now mind your damn business!
I was always amazed. My Aunt has 6 kids and she was always taking us (my bro and I ) along to go out everywhere to the beach, etc and she watched two kids in her home too! Props to her. I'm having trouble with my first

If it's to help you out fine that's one thing but if you are going to say something stupid just go away!
