The nearest shopping is like 1.5 hrs away so we took the kids because I am tireeeed of shopping online,and hey, a nice family day. No. My kids are good kids, but man, I felt like we had to buy everything in every store we were to make up for their (normal kid) behaviour. It was exhausting being in top of them all the time. Plus trying on stuff. Etc.

Yes I don't live that far but I can't do it with any kids. Way too rushed. That's why I do a ton of shopping at nordstroms. Free returns and free shipping.
We were shopping for a wedding, too. I got a dress and shoes and H got a suit (he hasn't bought a new suit in 10 years). In and out. I am pretty impressed with our focus. Lol.

Going to a mall or shopping center with the 4 of us is like my personal idea of hell. We went to the mall on Saturday and I wanted to curl in a ball in the corner and cry and rock. SO MANY PEOPLE and my kids are incapable of not begging for everything they see. And DH wanted to try on eighty bazillion things and he takes forever to do so.

When we shop with the kids, I end up buying more, because I feel rushed and can't take the time to contemplate if I really want it. Then I get buyers remorse!

I find shopping with DH and Jax to be a special kind of hell, I cringe on the inside whenever he suggests the mall.
I'm pretty good with just Jax but if anyone else is with us he knows he can get away with murder. No one believes me when I say I took him to the outlets for the day and had a good time.

Yeah, I don't even try. Lol. Online shopping forever! Good job to you and your H, though. I am going to take all 3 of mine shoe shopping tomorrow. I may be rocking in a corner by the end of the day.
L is like, the best baby ever until i want to shop for clothes.
no mom, you cannot hold me. no you can't hold my hand. i am going to mess up this pile of shirts. ooh metal! i want to play with this fixture. hey, let me touch that. now! let me touch it now! whine whine whine.
ugh. i live down the street from a mall and i shop online.
My kid made cute faces in the mirrors at the shoe store after rearranging the displays.he was milliseconds from licking the mirror. He threw himself under displays at the men's store. I nursed clare errrrrrywhere.
We were those people, but I'm a little drunk now so it's ok.
