Stay-at-home Mom's Day Out
Get out of the House for a Change of Scenery with Baby
By Laura Cone
|
Susan Wegner of Mission Viejo, Calif., says some parents, even if their baby does not have a medical condition, are afraid of germs. They tend to be reclusive because they want to protect their baby the first year.
"If you can just get out it makes a difference," says Wegner, who has 3-year-old twin girls. "We see a ton of moms who shut down because they don't leave. You have no one to talk to."
Wegner says the double stroller and the theme park passes helped her stay sane. She is a member of the Saddleback Mothers of Multiples and the Mothers of Preschoolers groups.
When her twins were babies, Wegner did not work outside the home, but the entire family flew around the countrybecause of her husband's job. "It was not until they were 2 we stopped traveling and started looking for group activities," Wegner says. "We were in hotels every day the first two years."
