So here goes.<\/p>\n<p>When I go out without my kids I feel kinda naked and exposed. People are more afraid of my wheelchair and letting their kids near me and I don&#8217;t like it. I guess in a way that&#8217;s bad for me?! Do I use my children as a cover to make things easier?! I don&#8217;t remember feeling like this BEFORE I had them. I sometimes feel like maybe people think I don&#8217;t like kids when they see me without them. All kinds of messed up things go through my head. If someone apologizes for their son (girls do it too but it&#8217;s ALMOST ALWAYS THE BOYS) touching my tires, I giggles and tell them I have 2 at home with daddy (g&#8217;ma, sitter, playdate&#8230;). They look at me funny. Really. They do. They don&#8217;t look at me funny when I am OUT with the boys though so maybe it&#8217;s all in my head.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s not like I go without my boys that often.
