Thank you all for replying!
I'm glad it's not completely necessary to go on trips. I was also wondering about transportation and how that was possible with so many kids, especially if most of them are still in car seats! Our crossover vehicle barely fits our family of four!
I think it will take time for me to get more comfortable for park dates, but I like the idea of a buddy system. I guess it just comes with practice.
Thanks again!
