I haven't suffered anxiety in the past, but it does sound like it now.. There have been a been a few upheavals in my family of late (my parent separating after 40 yrs, and now my Mum and brother and family are moving 3000 k's away), so whether that is getting to me, even though my Dad is biggest support, and he is staying put here.

I used to go without a hassle when I just had DD, and was fine going with both of them before DS was mobile as well. It has only been since DS has become mobile.

They will both sit still for 15 mins or so, and that is a big effort for such little active people. I don't like letting them run around where they can get hurt or bother others like in a cafe. And when we go somewhere with a play area, DD wants me with her, and I don't mind that, cause I don't like not having her near me when we are out in public.. Suppose it is just hard to have to have 2 sets of eyes, and 2 sets of arms, to watch and keep both safe..

In the home environment at anyone's house, DD is fine to leave me side, so obviously she doesn't like being away from me in public places either..

But I will try and work on getting out..
