Do you go shopping with your husband?

Sometimes its fun, sometimes its dull, even sometimes is annoying to have my husband around when I go shopping.

Recently we were trying to find the perfect bed frame for our new mattress, and to update the look of our bedroom with some new furniture and decors too. Perhaps you could already imagine how the discussions went while inside the store and in the car. Well, not to the point of throwing my purse on his face. He just kept distracting me and gave me a headache. One moment we were in unison with something, the next he points to the tag price again... and there we go...chat-chat-chat... until we become exhausted and say "Ok, let's just go and sleep it over."

You're probably too familiar with this scenario. Would you share your funny experiences and how you cope? Shopping is fun, but with a little big guy by our side it can be a different story.

I will asked him for his opinion about something and his response is always, "if you like it". That drives me nuts. All I want is a yes or a no. If I could avoid going shopping with my husband I would. My husband and I went to shop for a car seat for our 2 year old and our 11 month old last week. We looked at several car seats. He asked my opinion and I gave it. He asked if I liked this or that one I stated which I liked and think would be a good buy and the most comfortable one. Now why is it that the one that I choose is the most expensive one? He looked at me and his expression said it all. I told him to choose which car seat he wants to get-now mind you I am the one who drives the kids around all day. So anyway the one he chose is not in stock and now he is frustrated. He makes a statement to me, I am ready to go and off we went with NO CARSEAT.; ▶ Reply to This

He will be standing around with his PDA.. and showing that he is not enjoying himself shopping. However if we happen to be shopping for electronics it will be a whole different attitude. :); ▶ Reply to This

I'm the one that wants to be a little tight with money. We shop together for everything except groceries. He does the grocery shopping. My motto is, "if I can cook it you can go and get it." He does a very good job by himself. I create the shopping list on my IPhone and I email it to his phone. Works really neat.; ▶ Reply to This

To be quite honest I really have to be in the mood to shop(I know so umwomanly of me), so odds are when I am in the mood, he humors me. He has an eye for things(graphic artist and web designer, so in general he is good with colors) so I really like his opinion on things. We love picking out things for our house together. The paints and furniture were so much fun to pick out. We love shopping trips sans kiddos. You know those kinds of shopping trips without "I want that!" coming up when you get remotely close to the toy aisle. LOL!; ▶ Reply to This

So hubby does local stores with me very, very early on Saturday mornings, alone or with our kids. We shop together out of town and he hangs in there. He does all of the grocery shopping for our household.; ▶ Reply to This

But you know what? He is the one that says get something for yourself not everyone else. I tend to be a shopoholic for everyone else but I don't get anything for me. And he knows if we can really afford it or not.; ▶ Reply to This
