I will ask for advice, and you have to answer using only a quote from somewhere else on Mumsnet. Then you can ask for the next piece of advice. (best to quote the advice question you're answering in case there's cross-posting)

I think you should listen to him when he says that he feels like he can't do anything without you criticising. Do you always expect everything to be done your way.

Isn't it just a publicity stunt?

You can tape down your wind screen wipers before going in the enclosure and push in/close your wing mirrors.

It is lovely experience and I'm not surprised your children are begging to go.

Wear what you want as long as it comfortable, clean and appropriate to the occasion you’re in. I feel a ballgown and tiara maybe a bit OTT for a trip to Tesco but if it’s clean and comfy and you can safely push the trolly in it go for it.
