You're kidding, right?
I must have been a terrible mother.
We went to my parents' house for Thanksgiving dinner when my older one was 2 weeks old. My younger daughter was born in July, and was at a NYC street fair when she was 10 days old.
I took my son with me to the grocery store after about a week. We also went to a Christmas party 10 days after he was born!
He is now 18 and completely fine.
