My DH loved it as they give out lots of free stuff and hes a sucker for that! They gave out free popcorn and a few other food items so he was in heaven! He wasn't very keen on the baby stuff as such- I wouldn't take him unless you're sure because you really want to take your time and see everything and if they're being dificult you can't enjoy it (hehe sounds like I'm talking about taking the kids!).]]> Sat, 19 Aug 2006 00:47:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3493&PID=67303&title=this-just-annoys-me#67303 <![CDATA[This just annoys me. : That is a really good point about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3493&PID=67289&title=this-just-annoys-me#67289 Author: aimeejoy

My concern for sitting in the back - apart from all those voiced - would be the belt. Most cars I know use all the belt things for the carseats - and a lap belt just isn't safe for a pregnant woman!

Now - on this show - has anyone dragged their DH/D along - and the DH/DP enjoyed them at all?

Aw man, I'd love to go, but don't think I'll be making the trip with a newborn somehow. Well, I felt kinda angry at my mum and sis for thinking that it'd be OK for me to swap between the back seat and front all the way from Palmy to Auckland and back, and got really snotty about mum saying that her parents drove her around in the back seat of their car when she was in her 9th month (God forbid one of them should have lowered themselves to take the back seat for a few trips), so there's no reason why I shouldn't be in the back seat now (I thought - actually, there's no reason why my princess of a sister shouldn't just offer to sit in the back seat for the whole trip so I don't feel seedy all the way and can have a little leg room and a seat that isn't cut on a friggin ANGLE like their daft back seat is...) hmm... maybe I still have issues with the whole thing! Oh dear. Anyway, what I was going to say was that it's moments like these that make other people sometimes dislike us pregnant ones! We just have to put our own comfort first sometimes and not everyone likes watching us do that. I wouldn't do the trip in the back between 2 carseats, but maybe that's not what your friend intends? But Stacey's offer sounds GREAT! ]]> Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:16:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3493&PID=66883&title=this-just-annoys-me#66883 <![CDATA[This just annoys me. : Because if the price of petrol...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3493&PID=66878&title=this-just-annoys-me#66878 Author: AlyAyde

that is a bit unfair of her to be putting you in the back seat with two kiddies who like you said aren't even yours. Even if you are the smallest, it would be better for one of the mothers to be in the back tending to them if they grizzle etc....

Once me and my friend found out when the parent and child show was on in Wellington, we arranged to go down in her car (petrol more economical in her car) and to meet her friend down there and my friend as well. My friend rang me the other night and said she can't make it now, she gave me notice which was fine and that is sorted. But.....

I get home from Uni just before and my friend rang me to say that we (me, her and her friend + their 2 children) are going to go down in one car together, meaning I have to sit from Palmy to Wellington and back again in the middle of 2 carseats . Now I am so angry at her for changing the travel arrangements that I hung up on her, telling her it's a tad unfair for me to have to sit between 2 children that ain't even mine and have to tend to either one of them if they grizzle. I know I am the smallest out of the 3 of us and i'm pregnant but still this kids ain't mine and shouldn't have to do everything. She then told me well she really want to go down with her friend now as her car is bigger - meaning petrol will cost more. I'm thinking I may just give the whole thing up and not go down there at all now, even thou I really want to get all the samples of nappies, wipes and food.

Am I just being all hormonal?, or she just not even thinking about the arrangements we have made and how the trip will effect me? All I want to do is have a cry about the whole thing.
