The Difficult Job of a Mommy

Lautje and the Mommy have a group of friends that they meet up with on a regular basis. The Mommies let Lautje and his partners-in-crime play for a bit, as can be seen below, until they wear themselves out (or try to chew on each other, whatever happens first...).
Then the Mommies take the kids out for a walk, knowing full well that none of the kids will stay awake for very long. The Daddy is reliably informed by Lautje's Mommy that taking long walks with her good friends in places such as that shown below (fall foliage, grape vines, mountains, etc...) and then stopping to have a coffee, chat and eat lunch at a cafe, is part of the difficult job of being a Mommy. The Daddy has a great deal of empathy for the Mommy, considering the terrible job that has obviously befallen her...
